I can't comment on the arch specific bits.  As a general note, I think
this is over complex.  For instance, the additional hook in serial_core
to call the find_port_for_earlycon method isn't needed because you can
call serial8250_find_port_for_earlycon() from within
serial8250_console_setup().  You can also modify co->index from
within there without needing update_console_cmdline_console_index().

Good point, I will try to remove that hook.


Bjorn needs to review the 8250_early changes.

Apart from that, two other comments:

Is this a debugging printk?

Oh.

If this is going to become globally visible, please name it
serial8250_find_port to match the style of the rest of the file.

I see.
