Some SoCs have a Palmchip UART with a non-standard register layout.
This allows the debug console to work with these.

I am 100% clueless about the UART sequence in Linux.

There's earlyprintk, the boot console (polled?), the "full-blown"
console (with IRQs)...

If I want earlyprintk, I have to enable DEBUG_LL (?) so I'll have
DEBUG_LL_UART_8250, right? There's no way to pick DEBUG_UART_8250
in menuconfig, is there?

So I picked the following options:

CONFIG_DEBUG_LL=y
# CONFIG_DEBUG_ICEDCC is not set
# CONFIG_DEBUG_SEMIHOSTING is not set
CONFIG_DEBUG_LL_UART_8250=y
# CONFIG_DEBUG_LL_UART_PL01X is not set
CONFIG_DEBUG_LL_INCLUDE="debug/8250.S"
# CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_8250 is not set
# CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_BCM63XX is not set
CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_PHYS=0x10700
CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_VIRT=0xf0010700
CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_8250_SHIFT=2
CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_8250_WORD=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_8250_PALMCHIP=y
# CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_8250_FLOW_CONTROL is not set
CONFIG_DEBUG_UNCOMPRESS=y
CONFIG_UNCOMPRESS_INCLUDE="debug/uncompress.h"
CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK=y

I suppose I have to provide DEBUG_UART_PHYS because it needs
the address before it can parse the DT? But how am I supposed
to know the virtual address? Isn't that from iomap(UART_PHYS)?

'make' wouldn't let me proceed unless I gave something...

Then I have to add earlyprintk to my boot command line, right?
Do I need to specify more than that?
According to the documentation,

	earlyprintk=	[X86,SH,BLACKFIN,ARM,M68k]
			earlyprintk=vga
			earlyprintk=efi
			earlyprintk=xen
			earlyprintk=serial[,ttySn[,baudrate]]
			earlyprintk=serial[,0x...[,baudrate]]
			earlyprintk=ttySn[,baudrate]
			earlyprintk=dbgp[debugController#]
			earlyprintk=pciserial,bus:device.function[,baudrate]
