Consoles can be on devices other than uarts, so this should really be
of_device_is_stdout_path() and in the DT core.

I know I said use struct device, but since only device_node ptr is
needed you should just use that. Then the function is usable if you only
have the device_node ptr.

Need an empty version for !CONFIG_OF?
