Problem with the commit "console: don't prefer first registered if DT specifies stdout-path"

Hello Paul,

After your commit "console: don't prefer first registered if DT 
specifies stdout-path" [1] we couldn't see any kernel boot messages 
anymore. I restored the old code and after that I was able to see the 
messages again.

System: Nemo board with P.A. Semi PA6T PowerPC CPU

I understand your idea of this patch but unfortunately it doesn't work 
with our system. There isn't a possibility to modify the DT.

We have created a patch for removing your commit but I hope you have a 
better idea.

Cheers,
Christian
