non-hex is not supported...

in arch/x86/kernel/early_printk.c
static __init void early_serial_init(char *s)
{
        unsigned char c;
        unsigned divisor;
        unsigned baud = DEFAULT_BAUD;
        char *e;

        if (*s == ',')
                ++s;

        if (*s) {
                unsigned port;
                if (!strncmp(s, "0x", 2)) {
                        early_serial_base = simple_strtoul(s, &e, 16);
                } else {
                        static const int __initconst bases[] = { 0x3f8, 0x2f8 };

                        if (!strncmp(s, "ttyS", 4))
                                s += 4;
                        port = simple_strtoul(s, &e, 10);
                        if (port > 1 || s == e)
                                port = 0;
                        early_serial_base = bases[port];
                }
                s += strcspn(s, ",");
                if (*s == ',')
                        s++;
        }

so it check 0x too.
