This is just a change in the dts files shipped with the kernel not in dtc,
the dts files for sunxi used to not set stdout-path, and you patched in
a stdout-path setting for u-boot:

http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commitdiff;h=1a81cf8399675056beef5e76be8a9380d88c4ebf

+       chosen {
+               stdout-path = &uart0;
+       };

But now the upstream dts contains a stdout-path itself, but like this;

	alias {
		serial0 = &uart0;
	};

	chosen {
		stdout-path = "serial0:115200n8";
	};

And the current u-boot dts parsing does not grok this due to it not recognizing
the : in there.

Where as the kernel has:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/of/base.c#n713

static struct device_node *__of_find_node_by_path(struct device_node *parent,
						const char *path)
{
	struct device_node *child;
	int len;

	len = strcspn(path, "/:");
	if (!len)
		return NULL;

	__for_each_child_of_node(parent, child) {
		const char *name = strrchr(child->full_name, '/');
		if (WARN(!name, "malformed device_node %s\n", child->full_name))
			continue;
		name++;
		if (strncmp(path, name, len) == 0 && (strlen(name) == len))
			return child;
	}
	return NULL;
}

Where the strcspn surves the same purpose as the fdt_path_next_seperator my patch
introduces find the basename to match for stopping at the first occurence of
either a '/' or a ':' char.

Hans
