Hello Naveed,
In Coreboot 4.4 (Intel baytrail FSP) early serial output use to work
(first line being coreboot version followed by RTC Init)
In Coreboot 4.5 it seems that serial output only works once the FSP
initializes the serial port (first line being romstage_main_continue).
What entity initializes serial port in Coreboot 4.4 (BYT FSP or Coreboot itself)? In which stage?
Once you get answer to this question, you should know what to do for/in Coreboot 4.5 . ;-)

Notes: Setup for spew output, using the debug serial port lines.
I am looking at what might have caused this but though I’d ask if this was a known issue, possibly already fixed with a patch or if it was an error on my part.
Note sure exactly where to search as I have already reviewed the changes in src/drivers/uart/uart8250io.c
