Public bug reported:

[ Impact ]

On RISC-V boards we have specified 'earlycon' on the command line to
provide early kernel log output. This does not work with current
kernels.

We have to specify 'earlycon=sbi' to use the kernel driver for the SBI
debug console extension which is available since OpenSBI v1.3.


[ Test Plan ]

To reproduce the problem append 'console=ttyS0' to the kernel command
line. This will result in writing at 9600 baud in the 'late' console
while the early console is expected at 115200 baud.

With 'earlycon=sbi' the early messages are shown.

For testing the Nezha D1 board can be used with our preinstalled server
image.

[ Where problems could occur ]

The early console might not work and users might see messages late.
