Meh, OK. I'm still going to require the platform code to call register_early_udbg_console() if it wants to register earlier than setup_system() - so the behaviour will essentially be the same. NB that if it breaks anything I can now say BenH told me to do it ;) cheers -- Michael Ellerman OzLabs, IBM Australia Development Lab wwweb: http://michael.ellerman.id.au phone: +61 2 6212 1183 (tie line 70 21183) We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. - S.M.A.R.T Person
