Yes, I see that, but linux doesn't use it AFAICT. Are you suggesting
that U-Boot should? Or should we use 'u-boot,stdout-path' in /chosen?
See my question immediately above about /chosen.

Linux use stdout-path property specified, without linux prefix.

Check for example:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/tree/arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6qdl-sabresd.dtsi?id=refs/tags/v3.16.1

/ {
chosen {
stdout-path = &uart1;
};

OK great. This seems to have happened very recently in Linux. I was
looking at 3.14 but I see that in the current master about half of the
.dts files have droped the 'linux' prefix.

So assuming that the U-Boot console should be the same as Linux, then
it sounds like it is OK to use this feature. That's good enough to get
me going.

Thanks,
Simon
