Dear Benjamin, dear Paul, dear Michael,

with commit 48b545b8018d ("powerpc/microwatt: Use standard 16550 UART
for console"), you have some code in arch/powerpc/kernel/udbg_16550.c,
conditional on the Kconfig symbol PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_MICROWATT. However,
since then, the definition of this Kconfig symbol was never introduced
to the mainline repository or current linux-next, nor am I finding any
pending patch for that.

Are you going to add this config definition soon? Or did you identify
that this setup code in udbg_16550.c is not actually needed and can we
simply drop this code again?

This issue was identified with the script ./scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.py.


Best regards,

Lukas
