I've tried to use this series to enable earlycon without hardcoded
static mappings, but apparently something is not right yet. Please see
below.

This set of flags gives a read-only mapping on the machine I'm testing
on (Exynos4412, Cortex A9MPcore). If I use the same set of flags as used
in arch/arm/mm/mmu.c for MT_DEVICE_NONSHARED then the mapping works fine.

Best regards,
