Build failure if I select it on mpc885_ads_defconfig :

reference to `udbg_init_debug_16550'

Putting it before EARLY_DEBUG_MEMCONS means that configs that were
previously selectiong EARLY_DEBUG_MEMCONS will now select
EARLY_DEBUG_16550 instead.

Add a dependency to PPC_UDBG_16550 to avoid the build failure I mentionned ?

A default value is necessary here to avoid prompts during defconfig builds.

'extern' keywork is pointless and deprecated for function prototypes,
please don't add new ones.

Checkpatch reports:

CHECK: extern prototypes should be avoided in .h files
