"pciserial" earlyprintk helps much on many modern x86 platforms, but unfortunately there are some platforms whose PCI UART devices have wrong PCI class code, which will be blocked by current check.
So loose the class code check by giving a warning message instead. This should be fine, as a developer who can give the accurate BDF should know whether it's a usable UART device.
