I don't see any highspeed register setup here. More generically,
aren't you just skipping any UART setup? That may be useful on other
platforms with 8250s, too. With the kernel command line version, you
could perhaps add a "noinit" flag. The DT case is harder, and I'm not
sure how we should handle that. We could perhaps add a
"stdout-path-initialized" flag to chosen.

Is there a reason early_serial8250_write can't work for you other than
it is currently static?
