Why do you need this parameter?

Given this driver uses DT, can't it figure out the serial port address
from chosen/stdout-path?

+OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE(stm32, "st,stm32h7-uart", early_stm32_h7_serial_setup);
+OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE(stm32, "st,stm32f7-uart", early_stm32_f7_serial_setup);
+OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE(stm32, "st,stm32-uart", early_stm32_f4_serial_setup);
