Armada-3700's uart is a simple serial port, which doesn't
support. Configuring the modem control lines. The uart port has a 32
bytes Tx FIFO and a 64 bytes Rx FIFO

The uart driver implements the uart core operations. It also support the
system (early) console based on Armada-3700's serial port.

Known Issue:

The uart driver currently doesn't support clock programming, which means
the baud-rate stays with the default value configured by the bootloader
at boot time

This looks like any other early console.

Why does this not use the earlycon infrastructure?

Ah, it does, and I misread the diff quite badly.

Apologies for the noise.

Mark.
