earlyprintk=efi,keep does not work any more with a warning in mm/early_ioremap.c: WARN_ON(system_state != SYSTEM_BOOTING): Boot just hangs because of the earlyprintk within earlyprintk implementation code.
This is caused by a new introduced middle state in below commit: commit 69a78ff226fe ("init: Introduce SYSTEM_SCHEDULING state") early_ioremap is fine in both SYSTEM_BOOTING and SYSTEM_SCHEDULING states, original condition should be updated accordingly.
