[PATCH v2] powerpc: Add support for early debugging via Serial 16550 console

From: Pali Rohár
Date: Mon Aug 22 2022 - 19:15:43 EST


Currently powerpc early debugging contains lot of platform specific
options, but does not support standard UART / serial 16550 console.

Later legacy_serial.c code supports registering UART as early debug console
from device tree but it is not early during booting, but rather later after
machine description code finishes.

So for real early debugging via UART is current code unsuitable.

Add support for new early debugging option CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_16550
which enable Serial 16550 console on address defined by new option
CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_16550_PHYSADDR and by stride by option
CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_16550_STRIDE.

With this change it is possible to debug powerpc machine descriptor code.
For example this early debugging code can print on serial console also
"No suitable machine description found" error which is done before
legacy_serial.c code.

Changes in v2:
* Move PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_16550 after PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_MEMCONS, so memcons stay default
* Add missing dependency on PPC_UDBG_16550

Tested on P2020 board. It allowed me do debug and implement this patch series:
