[RFC/PATCH 2/3] of: add of_lookup_stdout() utility function

From: Grant Likely <hidden>
Date: 2008-08-06 06:02:53
Subsystem: open firmware and flattened device tree, the rest · Maintainers: Rob Herring, Saravana Kannan, Linus Torvalds

From: Grant Likely <redacted>

of_lookup_stdout() is useful for figuring out what device to use as output
for early boot progress messages.  It returns the node pointed to by the
linux,stdout-path property in the chosen node.
