[PATCH v3] tty: serial: earlycon dependency

From: Tong Zhang <hidden>
Date: 2020-08-18 16:29:45
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest, tty layer and serial drivers · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Jiri Slaby

parse_options() in drivers/tty/serial/earlycon.c calls uart_parse_earlycon
in drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c therefore selecting SERIAL_EARLYCON
should automatically select SERIAL_CORE, otherwise will result in symbol
not found error during linking if SERIAL_CORE is not configured as builtin.

Signed-off-by: Tong Zhang <redacted>

Fixes: 9aac5887595b ("tty/serial: add generic serial earlycon")
v2: I made an attempt to fix the commit log
v3: I made another attempt to fix the commit log and I also changed
select to depends according to Jiri's comment
