Hip06 LPC uart need two base addresses for earlycon. 2. the IO type is mmio to introduce a memory base address to access LPC register file. But the real uart IO type is UPIO_PORT. This is spcial...This sounds like a deficiency in the of_setup_earlycon() function, which can only handle MMIO addresses, and won't actually be able to understand nodes without a "ranges" property like you have here.Yes. The current of_setup_earlycon only support MMIO and the first reg property must be memory. We can not support our LPC uart without any new code. But we can implement a private earlycon setup function and register it to the __earlycon_table, things will be ok.
I still think you should adapt of_setup_earlycon instead to handle IORESOURCE_IO registers. Arnd
