Subject: pcdp: use early_ioremap/early_iounmap to access pcdp table
From: Greg Pearson <[email protected]>
commit 6c4088ac3a4d82779903433bcd5f048c58fb1aca upstream.
efi_setup_pcdp_console() is called during boot to parse the HCDP/PCDP
EFI system table and setup an early console for printk output. The
routine uses ioremap/iounmap to setup access to the HCDP/PCDP table
information.
The call to ioremap is happening early in the boot process which leads
to a panic on x86_64 systems:

do_exit+0x043c
oops_end+0x00a7
no_context+0x0119

setup_arch+0x03a9
start_kernel+0x00d4
x86_64_start_reservations+0x012c
x86_64_start_kernel+0x00fe
This replaces the calls to ioremap/iounmap in efi_setup_pcdp_console()
with calls to early_ioremap/early_iounmap which can be called during
early boot.
This patch was tested on an x86_64 prototype system which uses the
HCDP/PCDP table for early console setup.
