[U-Boot-Users] [RFC][PATCH] Set linux,stdout-path via aliases

[Kumar Gala]

I was hoping to get some suggestions on how to handle using aliases to set
linux,stdout-path.

* Do we want this protected via some board CONFIG?
  - should this be mutually exclusive with OF_STDOUT_PATH?
  - if so, which has precedence?
* Was figuring we'd use CONFIG_CONS_INDEX to find the proper alias

any other comments are welcome.. this patch is a hack that works right
now.
