I don't quite follow this. table->serial_port.address is explicitly u64, not pointer, so, according to printk-formats.txt %llx is ok here, %pa is wrong. Am I missing something? >>> /* >>> - * Just 'earlycon' is a valid param for devicetree earlycons; >>> - * don't generate a warning from parse_early_params() in that case >>> + * Just 'earlycon' is a valid param for devicetree and ACPI SPCR >>> + * earlycons; don't generate a warning from parse_early_params() >>> + * in that case >>> */ >>> - if (!buf || !buf[0]) >>> - return early_init_dt_scan_chosen_serial(); >>> + if (!buf || !buf[0]) { >>> + init_spcr_earlycon(); >> >>> + early_init_dt_scan_chosen_serial(); >>> + return 0; >> >> And you hide an error? > > Well, this is a little bit tricky because "earlycon" early parameter with > missing /chosen/stdout-path node is no longer an error, since ACPI may be > specifying the earlycon instead. Agree, but note the email by Rob Herring. The code should be like this: if (!buf || !buf[0]) { if (acpi_disabled) { return early_init_dt_scan_chosen_serial(); } else { init_spcr_earlycon(); return 0; } } But that requires to have made ACPI/DT decision at this point.
