The SBI v2.0 specification is now frozen. The SBI v2.0 specification defines
SBI debug console (DBCN) extension which replaces the legacy SBI v0.1
functions sbi_console_putchar() and sbi_console_getchar().
(Refer v2.0-rc5 at https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-sbi-doc/releases)

This series adds support for SBI debug console (DBCN) extension in
Linux RISC-V.

Here is the summary with links:
- [v5,1/5] RISC-V: Add stubs for sbi_console_putchar/getchar()

- [v5,2/5] RISC-V: Add SBI debug console helper routines

- [v5,3/5] tty/serial: Add RISC-V SBI debug console based earlycon

- [v5,4/5] tty: Add SBI debug console support to HVC SBI driver

- [v5,5/5] RISC-V: Enable SBI based earlycon support

You are awesome, thank you!

Nathan points out that this has some semantic conflicts with a patch in Greg's TTY tree: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git/commit/?id=f32fcbedbe9290565e4eac3fd7c4c451d5478787

So I think the best bet is to wait on Greg's patch to land in Linus' tree, and then base a v6 of this patch set on that merged patch. I'm going to drop this one from for-next.
