"earlycon=" is not actually supported. I will fix this in the next
version by adding a /chosen/stdout-path to the dts. The compatible
string provided to OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE will also be changed from
"fsl,s32v234-linflexuart" to "fsl,s32-linflexuart" to match the one in
the device tree nodes. I missed this after importing a rename from our
codebase.

Should I remove this addition from kernel-parameters.txt after that?

Stefan
