[PATCH] openrisc: dts: or1ksim: Add stdout-path

[Stafford Horne]

During reviews of the OpenRISC SMP patch series it was suggested to add
stdout-path to the SMP dts file.  Add stdout-path to our other dts files
to be a good example.

I think that should be:

-               bootargs = "console=uart,mmio,0x90000000,115200";
+               stdout-path = "serial0:115200";

If stdout-path is present, it will become the default console.
All other UART parameters except for the serial speed are derived from
the serial0 node (= serial@90000000) in DT.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

                        Geert

Thanks for the tip.  I have seen examples using alias `&serial0;` and using
the name directly `serio0:115200', but I guess I didnt really understand
what was going on.  I read through as much of the console initialization,
of, earlycon and printk code as I needed to refresh my memory on this...

It seems there are a few other issues here:
  - To use "serial0:115200" we will need an alias to the path (or specify
    the full path)
  - It looks like we can't use console= and stdout-path at the same time
  - We still need "earlycon" to define that we want to initialize early
    printk

I think updating to something like the below works, but its a few extra
lines:

The boot prompt before showed:

Now it shows:

    bootconsole [ns16550a0] enabled
