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.

On sparc platforms this is obtained differently.  We obtain the 32-bit
instance value of "/chosen/stdout" and convert that into a prom device
node path using "instance-to-path".

How about if I modify it to try both methods?
