2) What would it take to make the "rt2880" work with the 8250
earlycon? I mean, it is already pretty much supported in there, what
would be missing? (I don't see why it blocks on earlycon_map) And
would it be worth doing?
The rt2880 does not have the same register locations as a 8250.
The 8250 port driver remaps all register accesses with a LUT.

Adding support would be trivial.
Please test.
