    of: Enable console on serial ports specified by /chosen/stdout-path · a208ffd2
    Grant Likely authored
    If the devicetree specifies a serial port as a stdout device, then the
    kernel can use it as the default console if nothing else was selected on
    the command line. For any serial port that uses the uart_add_one_port()
    feature, the uart_add_one_port() has all the information needed to
    automatically enable the console device, which is what this patch does.
    
    With this change applied, a device tree platform can be booted without
    any console= parameters on the command line and the kernel will still be
    able to determine its console.
    
    Tested on QEMU Versatile model and i.MX
