[PATCH] tty: serial: atmel: add earlycon support

[Michael Walle]

Add early console support which relies on the bootloader for the
initialization of the UART.
Please note, that the compatibles are taken from at91-usart MFD
driver.

For consistency with the rest of the naming in this file could you name it
atmel_serial?

Also, it would be good to select SERIAL_EARLYCON in Kconfig to have it
available also for production w/o changing defconfigs.

Thank you,

Sure, I don't have an opinion on that. It's done both ways:
omap-serial.c:OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE(omapserial, "ti,omap2-uart", 
early_omap_serial_setup);
bcm63xx_uart.c:OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE(bcm63xx_uart, "brcm,bcm6345-uart", 
bcm_early_console_setup);
...

Ahh, missed that these are enabled for all the other Kconfig symbols.
Will add it to SERIAL_ATMEL_CONSOLE.
