AMD Carrizo / Stoneyridge use a DesignWare 8250 UART that uses a 48 MHz
input clock. Currently, there is no way to tell earlycon to use a specific
uart input clock when configuring a baud rate.
Patch 1 adds an earlycon ->setup() callback to set up this clock. The setup is
triggered on the commandline by specifying "earlycon=amdcz,...".
Patch 2 adds an ACPI SPCR quirk to automatically trigger this hook when the
ACPI SPCR table OEMID field is "AMDCZ ".
Patch 3 adds an additional fix which allows botht the ACPI SPCR quirk and amdcz
->setup() to tell 8250_core to skip initialization of old serial ports that do
not exist on these SoCs.

serial: 8250_early: Add earlycon support for AMD Carrizo / Stoneyridge
ACPI: SPCR: Add support for AMD CT/SZ
serial: core: Allow skipping old serial port initialization
