Thanks for the tip. I have seen examples using alias `&serial0;` and using
the name directly `serio0:115200', but I guess I didnt really understand
what was going on. I read through as much of the console initialization,
of, earlycon and printk code as I needed to refresh my memory on this...
It seems there are a few other issues here:
- To use "serial0:115200" we will need an alias to the path (or specify
the full path)
- It looks like we can't use console= and stdout-path at the same time
- We still need "earlycon" to define that we want to initialize early
printk
I think updating to something like the below works, but its a few extra
lines:

The boot prompt before showed:
Kernel command line: console=uart,mmio,0x90000000,115200
earlycon: uart0 at MMIO 0x90000000 (options '115200')
bootconsole [uart0] enabled
Now it shows:
Kernel command line: earlycon
earlycon: ns16550a0 at MMIO 0x90000000 (options '115200')
bootconsole [ns16550a0] enabled
