'ARM Server Base Boot Requiremets' [1] mentions SPCR (Serial Port
Console Redirection Table) [2] as a mandatory ACPI table that
specifies the configuration of serial console.
Defer initialization of DT earlycon until ACPI/DT decision is made.
Parse the ACPI SPCR table, setup earlycon if required,
enable specified console.
Thanks to Peter Hurley for explaining how this should work.
