You mean putting stdout-path in the dts, I'm not sure if I like that,
to me both bootargs and stdout-path are something which should be
left to the bootloader to set. But I understand that when not
using upstream u-boot that may be an issue.

I know that some other platforms ask for stdout-path when they review
it, because iirc, barebox uses it to know on which console to output
its log and export its shell, which is also a valid interpretation of
that property, and, contrary to bootargs, doesn't really imply that
the bootloader should update it.

Hmm, that is interesting we should probably start doing the same in
all the sunxi dts files, as eventually I would like to move all u-boot
board config to devicetree, so that we only need to maintain dts files
and not both dts files and u-boot board configs.

I had the plan to remove all earlyprintk in the bootargs of the DTS, I
can do it to convert all DTS to use stdout-path as well.

Sounds good, please do.

Regards,

Hans
