Prarit Bhargava 0231d00082 ACPI: SPCR: Make SPCR available to x86
SPCR is currently only enabled or ARM64 and x86 can use SPCR to setup
an early console.

General fixes include updating Documentation & Kconfig (for x86),
updating comments, and changing parse_spcr() to acpi_parse_spcr(),
and earlycon_init_is_deferred to earlycon_acpi_spcr_enable to be
more descriptive.

On x86, many systems have a valid SPCR table but the table version is
not 2 so the table version check must be a warning.

On ARM64 when the kernel parameter earlycon is used both the early console
and console are enabled.  On x86, only the earlycon should be enabled by
by default.  Modify acpi_parse_spcr() to allow options for initializing
the early console and console separately.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
