Yes, you're right.

Yeah, specifying the path isn't nice.

This isn't a reason to not think about better alternatives. An if
something like:
stdout-path = &uart0 + ":115200n8";
would be possible, I'd definitely prefer it over "serial0:115200n8".

AFAIK aliases are seen as (still necessary) evil by the dt people. So if
you can stop making use of them, that would be nice.
