Juno and Seattle both contain the node in the dt supplied with the upstream Linux kernel (not sure about their factory kernel), as do a bunch of non-virt capable arm devices, but with stdout-path support being added to Linux in v3.19-rc1 I expect that number will soon grow. I think "dt-uart: use ':' as separator between path and options" should be a candidate for stable backport. Since last time: removed back compat support for ',', constify, warn if stdout-path is truncated.
