No Arnd. The whole point of EARLY_DEBUG is that it is -known- to break other platforms :-) So that we can use it before we even get to probe anything. I am still tempted, one day, to change the kernel early init to setup a stack in .bss and go straight to C to do that sort of stuff by parsing the flat DT, this could be done using pretty much completely generic code :-) But not right now.
