Hi Will, Catalin,
SBBR mentions SPCR as a mandatory ACPI table. So enable it for ARM64
Earlycon should be set up as early as possible. ACPI boot tables are
mapped in arch/arm64/kernel/acpi.c:acpi_boot_table_init() that
is called from setup_arch() and that's where we parse SPCR.
So it has to be opted-in per-arch.
When ACPI_SPCR_TABLE is defined initialization of DT earlycon is
deferred until the DT/ACPI decision is done. Initialize DT earlycon
if ACPI is disabled.
Can you review this patch and consider ACKing it please?

I think there is a problem still with systems using 32-bit access to 8250
UARTs (i.e. Mustang) but that will need a DBG2 table spec change and
followup patch to resolve.
