I think noone really noticed this because everyone on Arm systems
use CONFIG_DEBUG_LL, and that makes printascii hammer out
stuff on the console very early, it even accounts for whether we have
MMU on or not.

How are you using this on Arm even? What system and what serial
driver?

That said, it looks correct.
