Subject: driver core: early platform driver buffer
From: Magnus Damm <damm@opensource.se>

Add early_platform_init_buffer() support and update the early platform
driver code to allow passing parameters to the driver on the kernel
command line.

early_platform_init_buffer() simply allows early platform drivers to
provide a pointer and length to a memory area where the remaining part of
the kernel command line option will be stored.

Needed to pass baud rate and other serial port options to the reworked
early serial console code on SuperH.
