    x86/earlyprintk: Add a force option for pciserial device · d2266bbf
    Feng Tang 提交于
    The "pciserial" earlyprintk variant helps much on many modern x86
    platforms, but unfortunately there are still some platforms with PCI
    UART devices which have the wrong PCI class code. In that case, the
    current class code check does not allow for them to be used for logging.
    
    Add a sub-option "force" which overrides the class code check and thus
    the use of such device can be enforced.
