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";

This will work for even early/boot console, so this is better than
option [1]

Be aware that options specified via /chosen/stdout-path are
currently ignored by earlycon. There were some hiccups getting the
initial support upstream; when 4.4 hits mainline, I'll resubmit
my series that implements the of_serial i/o properties and
options passthrough to earlycon setup.

Yes I am aware of that. IIUC it's in -next now and works fine for me.
But having stdout-path in the DTS won't hinder normal console in anyway.
So I prefer it even without the patch you are referring(to support early
console parsing stdout-path)
