[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 4/4] dt-uart: support /chosen/stdout-path property.

[Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

ePAPR v1.1 section 3.5 defines the /chosen/stdout-path property to
refer to the device to be used for boot console output, so if no
dtuart property is given try to use that instead. This will make Xen
find a suitable console by default on DT platforms which include this
property.

As it happens the dtuart option has the exact same syntax as
stdout-path, so we can just copy the value into that buffer if it is
empty. If the string is too large for the buffer we truncate and warn
but continue in the hopes that enough of the path survived (i.e. only
the options part was dropped) to get something out.

FWIW support for this was added to Linux in v3.19-rc1 (7914a7c5651a
"of: support passing console options with stdout-path") and a fairly
large number of the dts files shipped with Linux have already included
a stdout-path property for quite a while now.

v2:
- simplified after removing unnecessary compat support for ',' in
  previous patch, declared stdout in the now smaller scope.
- constify struct dt_device_node pointer
- warn if stdout-path is truncated.
