I see you did not mean to send this out, but would the above still be
necessary with my patch [0]? I am wondering if with my patch you can
just add the below OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE() for OMAP?

>> +OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE(omap8250, "ti,omap2-uart", early_omap8250_setup);
>> +OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE(omap8250, "ti,omap3-uart", early_omap8250_setup);
>> +OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE(omap8250, "ti,omap4-uart", early_omap8250_setup);
>> +#endif

If so, would it make sense to include my patches [0] and [1] with this
series, or would you prefer that I just rebase on top of this? I see
that you have already made the same change that I made in patch 2 of my
series.

Cheers
Jon
