'ARM Server Base Boot Requirements' [1] mentions SPCR (Serial Port Console
Redirection Table) [2] as a mandatory ACPI table that specifies the
configuration of serial console.

Move "earlycon" early_param handling to earlycon.c to parse this option once

Parse SPCR table, setup earlycon and register specified console.

Enable parsing this table on ARM64.  Earlycon should be set up as early as
possible.  ACPI boot tables are mapped in
arch/arm64/kernel/acpi.c:acpi_boot_table_init() called from setup_arch() and
that's where we parse spcr.  So it has to be opted-in per-arch. When
ACPI_SPCR_TABLE is defined initialization of DT earlycon is deferred until the
DT/ACPI decision is done.

Implement console_match() for pl011.

Hi Greg,

Can you consider picking this series for 4.9 please?

I thought you asked Rafael to take them, they are not in my queue
anymore because of that.  Don't try to shop-around for maintainers
please, that's kind of rude...
