Intel Moorestown and Medfield are quite old Intel Atom based
32-bit platforms, which were in limited use in some Android phones,
tablets and consumer electronics more than eight years ago.

There are no bugs or problems ever reported outside from Intel
for breaking any of that platforms for years. It seems no real
users exists who run more or less fresh kernel on it. The commit
05f4434bc130 ("ASoC: Intel: remove mfld_machine") also in align
with this theory.

Due to above and to reduce a burden of supporting outdated drivers
we remove the support of outdated platforms completely.

Enable serial driver to be built as a module.  To do so, init the
console support on driver/module load instead of using
console_initcall().

Hardware supported by bcm63xx is also used by BCM4908 SoCs family that
is ARM64. In future more architectures may need it as well. There is
nothing arch specific breaking compilation so just stick to requiring
COMMON_CLK.

This commit adds driver for the FPGA-based LiteUART serial controller
from LiteX SoC builder.

The current implementation supports LiteUART configured
for 32 bit data width and 8 bit CSR bus width.

It does not support IRQ.

<title>tty: serial: imx: enable earlycon by default if IMX_SERIAL_CONSOLE is enabled</title>

<content type='text'>
Since 699cc4dfd140 (tty: serial: imx: add imx earlycon driver), the earlycon
part of imx serial is a separate driver and isn't necessarily enabled anymore
when the console is enabled. This causes users to loose the earlycon
functionality when upgrading their kenrel configuration via oldconfig.

Enable earlycon by default when IMX_SERIAL_CONSOLE is enabled.
