Hi,
With v6.15-rc5, the below chromebooks were not booting with the
following message. These tests were run in drm-ci.
Starting kernel ...
[ 1.843801] ? __pfx_kernel_init+0x10/0x10
[ 1.909838] ? __pfx_kernel_init+0x10/0x10

Failing jobs:
amdgpu:stoney (AMD Stoney Ridge chipset):

i915:amly (64 bit Intel Whiskey Lake):

i915:whl (64 bit Intel Amber Lake):
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/vigneshraman/linux/-/jobs/76000931
These tests were passing till v6.14-rc7, and the issue was seen starting
in v6.15-rc1. This issue is seen only with these 3 boards and does not
affect other chromebooks (the pipeline log shows the other i915 driver
tests).
On bisecting the commits, the commit which introduced this issue is,
3181424aeac2f6596534bf43021a10eae294a9b0 x86/early_printk: Add support
for MMIO-based UARTs
After reverting the below commits in v6.15-rc5, the board boots and
tests are executed:
3181424aeac2 x86/early_printk: Add support for MMIO-based UARTs
996457176bb7 x86/early_printk: Use 'mmio32' for consistency, fix
comments (this fixes 3181424aeac2)
pipeline after reverting the commits,

Please could you look into this issue. Thank you.
