Add a stdout-path property so that automatic console selection works
in the absence of a "console=" parameter on the kernel command line.

Remove the now-superfluous "console=" parameter from chosen/bootargs.

In my environment the bootargs portion of this change results
in no console output. I am guessing that this is because the
console starts with a different terminal speed (though which speed
I am unsure).

If my guess is correct then strictly speaking this is not a bug,
though it is a behavioural change. And as such I think at the very
least it needs some discussion.

I forgot emev is the only supported SoC not using sh-sci.
drivers/tty/serial/sh-sci.c:serial_console_setup() defaults to 115200 baud,
while serial8250_console_setup() defaults to 9600 baud.

So we have to keep the console= parameter. Will resend.

Thanks!
