Which is better to specify console, "console= " or "stdout-path" ?

I think there exist two ways to specify the console port and baudrate.


[1] Specify console in bootargs

  chosen {
        bootargs = "console=ttyS0,115200";
  };


[2] Specify stdout-path

   chosen {
         stdout-path = "serial0:115200n8";
   };



Now I have both in my DTS, but it is redundant.

So, I want to select either [1] or [2].


Which is a preferable way?

stdout-path is better. It took us a while to get that implemented
on arm32, but now that it works, we should all use it.
