patch "tty: serial: imx: enable earlycon by default if IMX_SERIAL_CONSOLE is" added to tty-linus

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

tty: serial: imx: enable earlycon by default if IMX_SERIAL_CONSOLE is

to my tty git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
in the tty-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: tty: serial: imx: enable earlycon by default if IMX_SERIAL_CONSOLE is
enabled

Since 699cc4dfd140 (tty: serial: imx: add imx earlycon driver), the earlycon part of imx serial is a separate driver and isn't necessarily enabled anymore when the console is enabled. This causes users to loose the earlycon functionality when upgrading their kenrel configuration via oldconfig.

Enable earlycon by default when IMX_SERIAL_CONSOLE is enabled.
