Starting with v3.19, you should be able to use the earlycon framework on
arm32, so it would be better to replace earlyprintk with earlycon here
and add a stdout-path property in chosen that points to the console
uart.

I started to implement earlycon support, but something currently fails
when earlycon tries to map the UART registers:
[    0.000000] earlycon_map: Couldn't map 0x40027000

I traced the issue a bit further down and found that get_vm_area_caller
returns NULL (in __arm_ioremap_pfn_caller). This happend on Linus master
as of today (2dbfca5a181973558277b28b1f4c36362291f5e0). Do I miss
something here?

Hmm, I fear the arm32 FIX_EARLYCON_MEM support ended up not making it
into 3.19 after all. :(

Is it because early_ioremap and fixmap still missing for arm32?
According to Rob's patchset from spring fixmap is required, there is
something in this tree:
