Note on testing:  I've tested this on several ARM64 and x86 boxes (only
earlycon, console=ttyS0,115200, and with both options), verified that
functionality on ARM64 has not changed (ie, CONFIG_ACPI_SPCR_TABLE is
always =y), and verified functionality when !CONFIG_ACPI_SPCR_TABLE on
x86.

P.

----8<----

SPCR is currently only enabled or ARM64 and x86 can use SPCR to setup an
early console.

General fixes include updating Documentation & Kconfig (for x86), updating
comments, and changing parse_spcr() to acpi_parse_spcr(), and
earlycon_init_is_deferred to earlycon_acpi_spcr_enable to be more
descriptive.

On x86, many systems have a valid SPCR table but the table version is not
2 so the table version check must be a warning.

On ARM64 when the kernel parameter earlycon is used both the early console
and console are enabled.  On x86, only the earlycon should be enabled by
by default.  Modify acpi_parse_spcr() to allow options for initializing
the early console and console separately.

I'm fine with the x86 aspect of this:

This looks okay to me. Tested on a variety of arm64 platforms.

This patch works for me, so I can ACK it, but first you might want to 
rename earlycon_acpi_spcr_enable, because these two lines don't make 
much sense.

"If ACPI is disabled, and ACPI SCPR is enabled, then ...."

If ACPI is disabled, then how can a variable called 
"earlycon_acpi_spcr_enable" be true?

Would it make more sense to rename it to earlycon_spcr_enable?

acpi_disabled is a global runtime flag that can be set via "acpi=off" on the
command line.  It does not disable the tables, only the reading and interpreting
of the data in the tables.

I just got asked this by oldconfig, which left me rather puzzled, WTF

Odd -- I thought I had taken care of that :(  My apologies Peter.

ACPI SPCR is used by a vendor to define the serial console for a system.  If
SPCR exists a user can add kernel parameter "earlycon" (no extra kernel
parameters) and the console will work out-of-the-box.

The serial console configuration varies from vendor to vendor.  This takes the
guess-work out of defining a serial console.

"earlycon" is needed only for an *early* console.  You don't need any 
command line parameters for a normal console to work with SPCR.

That's true on ARM64.  I specifically did not enable the console by default on
x86.  There are users who do not want a console active during boot & runtime.

But when I specify "earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200" this SPCR crud will
not interfere?

Hmmmm... That's a good point.  On ARM systems with SPCR, you get a 
console whether you like it or not.
