Re-add ACPI SPCR (serial console) support
Four SPCR patches were merged upstream into 4.9, but one was reverted by a subsequent commit (due to a trivial merge conflict with a later, unrelated patch). A fixed up version of the missing patch is queued up for 4.10 in tty-next. Carry it to make sure users see serial console output on ACPI systems. Otherwise manually setting console=ttyAMAn would be required.

+Subject: serial: pl011: add console matching function
+
+This patch adds function pl011_console_match() that implements
+method match of struct console. It allows to match consoles against
+data specified in a string, for example taken from command line or
+compiled by ACPI SPCR table handler.
+
+This patch was merged to tty-next but then reverted because of
+conflict with
+
+commit 46e36683f433 ("serial: earlycon: Extend earlycon command line option to support 64-bit addresses")
+
+Now it is fixed.
