IIRC Peter Hurley mentioned you don't need to put both anymore, OF_
one is enough.

I've just tried with OF_ only and seems it works fine. Thanks for
pointing at it!

..and the reason for that was that I had stdout pointing at uart node.
Now, while testing v4 I end-up with configuration:

1) no EARLYCON_DECLARE in mps2-uart.c
2) stdout not set
3) cmdline has "earlycon=mps2,0x40004000 console=/dev/ttyMPS"

and I don't see bootconsole, but if I avoid 1) everything works fine.
So, I'd leave EARLYCON_DECLARE in this patch.

Peter, what is your comment on this?

That Vladimir is not testing with linux-next.

linux-next has common framework for both command line and OF-defined
earlycons.

Vladimir, if you pull in Greg's tty-next branch, then just

OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE(mps2, "arm,mps2-uart", mps2_early_console_setup);

should enable both command-line and OF-defined earlycons.

Confirmed! No doubt now EARLYCON_DECLARE can be dropped from this patch
safely.

Thanks!
Vladimir
