Hi Bin,

Please don't drop lists (or other addressees) from patch revisions.

Please update Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt with pci-specific
earlycon parameter formats.

Please move this hunk to patch 2/2.

FYI, there is a proposal to evaluate "earlyprintk=" earlier than
parse_early_params(), which this would break.

If this function is only used from parse_pci_options(), please enclose it
in #ifdef CONFIG_PCI_EARLY scope with parse_pci_options().

Is all this to avoid using simple_strtoul()?
If yes, I'd rather you use simple_strtoul() like the rest of the console
code and ignore the (misguided) advice that simple_strtoul() is obsolete.

The code above is exactly what is wrong with the kstrto* api.

Error message is redundant.

I think one earlycon banner is sufficient; you could make this pr_debug()
instead. Existing convention for earlycon messages is

	"earlycon: ...."

"earlycon: PCI not supported (requires CONFIG_PCI_EARLY=y)" ?

Document the pci/pci32 format separately because
	earlycon=uart8250,pci32,<addr>,<options> is not a valid form.

I'd like to see this refactored without the logic steering locals.
Like this:

 	if (strncmp(p, "mmio,", 5) == 0) {
 		*iotype = UPIO_MEM;
 		p += 5;
+		*addr = simple_strtoul(p, NULL, 0);
 	} else if (strncmp(p, "mmio32,", 7) == 0) {
 		*iotype = UPIO_MEM32;
 		p += 7;
+		*addr = simple_strtoul(p, NULL, 0);
+	} else if (strncmp(p, "pci,", 4) == 0) {
+		pci = 1;
+		p += 4;
+		ret = parse_pci_options(p, addr);
+		if (ret < 0)
+			return ret;
+		*iotype = (ret > 0) ? UPIO_PORT : UPIO_MEM;
+	} else if (strncmp(p, "pci32,", 6) == 0) {
+		pci = 2;
+		p += 6;
+		ret = parse_pci_options(p, addr);
+		if (ret < 0)
+			return ret;
+		*iotype = (ret > 0) ? UPIO_PORT : UPIO_MEM32;
 	} else if (strncmp(p, "io,", 3) == 0) {
 		*iotype = UPIO_PORT;
 		p += 3;
+		*addr = simple_strtoul(p, NULL, 0);
