X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d856c66618f953fc3cd1e613226d5f098ad322c8;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

[SERIAL] Add comment about early_serial_setup()

early_serial_setup() must not be called after console initialisation.
Add a comment prior to the function explicitly stating this.
