I posted this series a 1.5 months ago as an RFC. I'm going to put it in my tree for merging in v3.17. This series cleans up the selection of default console devices when using the device tree. The device tree defines a way of specifying the console by using a "stdout-path" property in the /chosen node, but very few drivers actually attempt to use that data, and so for most platforms there needs to be a "console=" line in the command line if a serial port is intended to be used as the console. With this series, if there is a /chosen/stdout-path property, and that property points to a serial port node, then when the serial driver registers he port, the core uart_add_one_port() function will notice and if no console= argument was provided then add it as a preferred console. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
