Interesting question! I hadn't really thought about device tree. I actually
have very little understanding of how it works to be honest :-)
I'm happy to add loglevel support to device tree, I assume I'd add another
property under the chosen node, like chosen/stdout-loglevel.
Please do not add a new property there.
IMHO, the loglevel should be specified on the kernel command line,
and not be fixed using a DT property.
Ah, if that's what you want, it should already work I think (if I understood
your point correctly).
As long as you know which console type will be brought up, you can just specify
the following rule on the command line and the rule will be applied to
whichever console is brought up by DT (untested, but it should work):
# default 4, serial to 5
loglevel=4 console=ttyS0/5
# default 4, usb to 5
loglevel=4 console=ttyUSB0/5
Is that the kind of thing you meant?
