Re: Specifying the console device using an alias

(correct list)

Hi,

In U-Boot we currently specify the console device (typically serial)
using something like:

aliases {
   console = "/serial@1234";
}

But the question has come up as to whether this should be done another
way. I see the "linux.stdout" property in the /chosen node.

I am concerned that making use of the /chosen node in U-Boot might
confuse a lot of people, since this node is normally used to provide
selections for the OS to use when booting. If we did use /chosen, then
linux,stdout seems plain wrong but perhaps u-boot,stdout could be used
instead.

Does anyone have an opinion about this? It would be good to work this
out soon before it proliferates into more code.

Regards,
Simon
