Getting boot messages during initial kernel boot is a common problem,
which (almost) everyone wants to solve. Considering that this would be
required by multiple platforms, provide a helper to check if "earlycon"
or "earlyprintk" boot arguments are passed to kernel or not. The
platforms can use this helper to add serial constraints only if earlycon
if required.

No need for this function if it's not enabled?

And this feels really odd, does it really save any work for the
individual "constraint" to check for this option?  I'm all for helper
functions, but this feels like more work than it's worth...

thanks,

Ok, will move this code to individual platform driver files for now.
