This patch adds function pl011_console_match() that implements
method match of struct console.  It allows to match consoles against
data specified in a string, for example taken from command line or
compiled by ACPI SPCR table handler.

Hi Greg, Russell,

Can you review this patch and consider ACKing it please?
It had an ACK from Greg in v7 but since then I changed it a bit.

The patch by Christopher Covington [1] specifies that SBSA uart 
does 32-bit access to registers and this breaks the match function.  
In this series the function was changed to match when SPCR specifies
both mmio32 and mmio access.  I removed Acked-by: Greg from this
patch because of these changes.

The difference between v7 and v8:

I'm looking at this change, and I don't know what effect it ultimately
has.  This is kind of a problem, because I've zero knowledge of ACPI,
and so I can't say whether this change is appropriate or not.  I have
no ARM server platforms (yet), nor any access to them, so I can't even
try it out.

In short, I've no idea.  I guess it's up to those who have come up
with SBSA to decide whether this is an appropriate change or not.
