This patch switches Malta from using the MIPS implementation of early printk with Malta's prom_putchar to using the generic 8250_early implementation. This offers a couple of advantages: - We duplicate less generic code. - The UART can be initialised rather than being reliant upon inheriting a valid setup from the bootloader. The Malta console_config function is extended to initialise the early console if no earlycon= kernel parameter is provided, inheriting the modetty0 bootloader environment if present and falling back to a default 38400n8r setup if not. This matches the behaviour used for the regular console= parameter.
