nios2: remove custom early console implementation

2017-05-11T09:44:21+00:00

As of commits d8f347ba35cf ("nios2: enable earlycon support"),
0dcc0542a006 ("serial: altera_jtaguart: add earlycon support") and
4d9d7d896d77 ("serial: altera_uart: add earlycon support"), the nios2
architecture and the altera_uart/altera_jtaguart drivers support
earlycon. Thus, the custom early console implementation for nios2 is no
longer necessary to get early boot messages. Remove it and rely fully on
earlycon support.

nios2: enable earlycon support

2017-05-08T08:59:19+00:00

Enable generic earlycon support for nios2. This e.g. allows to use a
8250/16650 UART as earlycon.

In order to get the earlycon, we just need to call parse_early_param()
in early_init_devtree() as soon as the device tree is initially scanned.
By adding an stdout-path property to the dts (done in this patch for
10m50_devboard), the earlycon can be used.

In order to provide early printk support, we need to provide a dummy
implementation of early_console_write(), so that
arch/nios2/kernel/early_printk.c can still be compiled if neither
SERIAL_ALTERA_JTAGUART_CONSOLE nor SERIAL_ALTERA_UART_CONSOLE is
selected. As soon as the altera_uart and altera_jtaguart support
earlycon, the entire file can be removed.

nios2: reserve boot memory for device tree

2017-04-03T03:13:57+00:00

Make sure to reserve the boot memory for the flattened device tree.
Otherwise it might get overwritten, e.g. when initial_boot_params is
copied, leading to a corrupted FDT and a boot hang/crash:

  bootconsole [early0] enabled
  Early console on uart16650 initialized at 0xf8001600
  OF: fdt: Error -11 processing FDT
  Kernel panic - not syncing: setup_cpuinfo: No CPU found in devicetree!

  ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: setup_cpuinfo: No CPU found in devicetree!

Guenter Roeck says:

nios2: Fix unused variable warning

2015-11-09T02:33:29+00:00

Fix the following compiler splat by adding __maybe_unused annotation to
the variable. Using this particular annotation has the least ugly impact
on the code compared to using ifdeffery.

arch/nios2/kernel/setup.c: In function 'nios2_boot_init':
arch/nios2/kernel/setup.c:107:7: warning: unused variable 'cmdline_passed' [-Wunused-variable]
