These are in linus's tree or  linux-next

But this one is not in linux-next yet.

Title:
  tty: pl011: fix earlycon work-around for QDF2400 erratum 44

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  The work-around for the Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies QDF2400 erratum 44 
sets the qdf2400_e44_present" global variable if the work-around is needed. 
However, this check does not happen until after earlycon is initialized, which 
means the work-around is not used, and the console hangs as soon as it displays 
one character.

  [Test Case]
  Enable earlycon and boot the kernel.

  [Regression Potential]
  This impacts only Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies QDF2400 platforms.

  [Fix]
