Dear Simon Glass,

We have standard ways of telling the Linux kernel what the console port is - the "console=" boot argument has been working fine for many, many years and many, many boards and systems. But Tegra needs to invent it's own hackinsh implementation of putting special data in some special registers. What a crap.

This made me look into the x86 code - There is a command line option 'earlyprintk' which is available stupidly early (even the real-mode code and de-compressor have access to it)

So I do now wonder why Tegra needs to do anything differently
