Hi,

When the kernel fails to boot and its log console is silent,
I use earlycon and I often find the cause of error with it.

But, I have been wondering if there is an easy-to-use
debug tip which is available after earlycon is disabled.

I noticed the current mainline would not boot on my ARMv8 board.
According to the following log, I am guessing something wrong
is happening after the "bootconsole [uniphier0] disabled" log.

Is there a good practice to see more log?
Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt 
	keep_bootcon	[KNL]
			Do not unregister boot console at start. This is only

			the real console.
