- *	pl011_console_match - non-standard console matching
- *	@co:	  registering console
- *	@name:	  name from console command line
- *	@idx:	  index from console command line
- *	@options: ptr to option string from console command line
- *
- *	Only attempts to match console command lines of the form:
- *	    console=pl011,mmio|mmio32,<addr>[,<options>]
- *	    console=pl011,0x<addr>[,<options>]
- *	This form is used to register an initial earlycon boot console and
- *	replace it with the amba_console at pl011 driver init.
- *
- *	Performs console setup for a match (as required by interface)
- *	If no <options> are specified, then assume the h/w is already setup.
- *
- *	Returns 0 if console matches; otherwise non-zero to use default matching
