On sparc platforms this is obtained differently.  We obtain the 32-bit
instance value of "/chosen/stdout" and convert that into a prom device
node path using "instance-to-path".

If this of_lookup_stdout() is going into generic OF code, it should be
done in a way that works on all platforms.  All of these "linux,*"
properties and node names are powerpc platform specific.
