[PATCH RFC 05/10] ARM: debug: Add Cortina Systems CS75xx UART0 support
From: Fil Dunsky via B4 Relay
Date: Wed Sep 30 2026 - 03:08:26 EST
From: Fil Dunsky <filipp.dunsky@xxxxxxxxx>
Add low-level debug output through UART0 of the Cortina Systems CS75xx
SoCs. The UART is mapped at a fixed virtual address by the generic
debug_ll_io_init(), so no platform map_io is needed.
Signed-off-by: Fil Dunsky <filipp.dunsky@xxxxxxxxx>
