Subject[PATCH v3 0/7] ACPI: parse the DBG2 table
Date
"ARM Server Base Boot Requirements" [1] mentions DBG2 (Microsoft Debug
Port Table 2) [2] as a mandatory ACPI table that specifies debug ports.

- Move earlycon early_param handling to serial to parse earlycon option once
- Add definition of DBG2 subtypes. It's the same patch as in the SPCR series [3]
- Refactor ACPI linker tables code to enable iterating over subtables other than
subtables having acpi_subtype header (such as DBG2)
- Implement macros

ACPI_DBG2_DECLARE(name, type, subtype, setup_fn, data_ptr)

that defines a handler for the port of the given type and subtype.
- For each port defined by that macros that is also described in the ACPI DBG2
table call provided callback.
- Implement a helper macros that can be used to define early serial console
- Enable DBG2 on ARM64
- Define early console for pl011 serial

Based on the work by Leif Lindholm <leif.lindholm@linaro.org> [4]

Should be applied to next-20160229.

Tested on last QEMU with patches that introduce DBG2 and fix a QEMU bug:

https://git.linaro.org/people/aleksey.makarov/qemu.git amakarov/gdb2.03

v3:
- Drop "arm64: move acpi/dt decision earlier in boot process". It is incorrect.
(Matthias Brugger)
- Fix the message at port discovery.

v2:
https://lkml.kernel.org/g/1456333819-13482-1-git-send-email-aleksey.makarov@linaro.org
- Fix parse_acpi() (Matthias Brugger)
- Add a reference to QEMU DBG2 patches and to original work
- Rebase to the last linux-next
