If the earlycon parameter is given twice, the kernel will spit out a
WARN() in register_console() because it was already registered. The
non-dt variant setup_earlycon() already handles that gracefully. The dt
variant of_setup_earlycon() doesn't. Add the check there and add the
-EALREADY handling in early_init_dt_scan_chosen_stdout().

FWIW, this doesn't happen if CONFIG_ACPI_SPCR_TABLE is set. In that case
the registration is delayed until after earlycon parameter(s) are
parsed.

Instead of using the array-of-pointers trick to avoid having gcc mess up
the earlycon array stride, specify type alignment when declaring entries
to prevent gcc from increasing alignment.

This is essentially an alternative (one-line) fix to the problem
addressed by commit dd709e72cb93 ("earlycon: Use a pointer table to fix
__earlycon_table stride").

gcc can increase the alignment of larger objects with static extent as
an optimisation, but this can be suppressed by using the aligned
attribute when declaring variables.

Note that we have been relying on this behaviour for kernel parameters
for 16 years and it indeed hasn't changed since the introduction of the
aligned attribute in gcc-3.1.

8250 devices may modify iotype in their own earlycon setup. For example:
8250_mtk and 8250_uniphier force iotype to be MMIO32. Print earlycon info
after match-&gt;setup to reflect actual earlycon info.

If a driver exposes early consoles with EARLYCON_DECLARE() and
OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE(), pefer the non-OF variant if the user specifies it
by
  earlycon=&lt;driver&gt;,&lt;options&gt;

The rationale behind this is that some drivers register multiple setup
functions under the same driver name. Eg.

OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE(lpuart, "fsl,vf610-lpuart", lpuart_early_console_setup);
OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE(lpuart32, "fsl,ls1021a-lpuart", lpuart32_early_console_setup);
OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE(lpuart32, "fsl,imx7ulp-lpuart", lpuart32_imx_early_console_setup);
EARLYCON_DECLARE(lpuart, lpuart_early_console_setup);
EARLYCON_DECLARE(lpuart32, lpuart32_early_console_setup);

It depends on the order of the entries which console_setup() actually
gets called. To make things worse, I guess it also depends on the
compiler how these are ordered. Thus always prefer the EARLYCON_DECLARE()
ones.

On DT based platforms when current-speed property is present baudrate
is setup. Also port-&gt;uartclk is initialized to bogus BASE_BAUD * 16
value. Drivers like uartps/ns16550 contain logic when baudrate and
uartclk is used for baudrate calculation.

The patch is reading optional clock-frequency property to replace bogus
BASE_BAUD * 16 calculation to have proper baudrate calculation.

Commit 99492c39f39f ("earlycon: Fix __earlycon_table stride") tried to fix
__earlycon_table stride by forcing the earlycon_id struct alignment to 32
and asking the linker to 32-byte align the __earlycon_table symbol.  This
fix was based on commit 07fca0e57fca92 ("tracing: Properly align linker
defined symbols") which tried a similar fix for the tracing subsystem.

However, this fix doesn't quite work because there is no guarantee that
gcc will place structures packed into an array format.  In fact, gcc 4.9
chooses to 64-byte align these structs by inserting additional padding
between the entries because it has no clue that they are supposed to be in
an array.  If we are unlucky, the linker will assign symbol
"__earlycon_table" to a 32-byte aligned address which does not correspond
to the 64-byte aligned contents of section "__earlycon_table".

To address this same problem, the fix to the tracing system was
subsequently re-implemented using a more robust table of pointers approach
by commits:
 3d56e331b653 ("tracing: Replace syscall_meta_data struct array with pointer array")
 654986462939 ("tracepoints: Fix section alignment using pointer array")
 e4a9ea5ee7c8 ("tracing: Replace trace_event struct array with pointer array")

Let's use this same "array of pointers to structs" approach for
EARLYCON_TABLE.
