[PATCH v2 -next 00/14] OF earlycon cleanup

[Peter Hurley]

I thought I'd respin this to address the bugs in v1.

I'm still having an open conversation with Rob Herring about the
OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE macro and earlycon console names.

* Changes from v1 *

- Rebase on top of device-tree compiler patch submission,
  "libfdt: Add fdt_path_offset_namelen()"
- Fixed x86 build breakage, conditionally compile of_setup_earlycon();
  Note: this should have already been the case since of_setup_earlycon()
  is dead code without CONFIG_OF_EARLY_FLATTREE
- Fixed Geert's suggestion to change the printf specifier for ->mapbase
- Fixed initial console index value for earlycon name without trailing
  numerals


Hi Greg, Grant & Rob,

This patch series builds on my earlier "Extensible console matching &
direct earlycon" to add several useful features to earlycon:
* Proper port i/o configuration from DT node with of_serial properties
  (such as reg-io-width, reg-shift and reg-offset)
* Proper console name & index initialization from earlycon name
  (for both command line and DT-defined earlycons)
* Support for DT 'stdout-path' options pass-through to earlycon setup
* Improved log messages for troubleshooting
* Support for multiple OF earlycon declarations so different
  compatible strings can specify the same OF earlycon

Lastly, this patch series adds an omap8250 OF earlycon. I don't think
the last patch requires the "Split 8250 driver" to work but it won't
apply cleanly without it.

Requires: 1) "libfdt: Add fdt_path_offset_namelen()"
	  2) the last patch which adds omap8250 earlycon requires some
	     kind of fixmap support, such as "ARM: early fixmap support
	     for earlycon", which has not yet been accepted upstream.
