sunxi: Set the /chosen/stdout-path fdt property for sunxi boards
While discussing with some people how to get the Linux kernel to do the right thing wrt sending output to both the serial console and the hdmi out / lcd screen when booting on ARM devices, Grant Likely pointed out that there already is a solution for this. All we need to do is set the /chosen/stdout-path fdt property, and if no console= arguments were specified on the kernel commandline the kernel will honor this and add this device as a console (next to the primary video output on hdmi). And u-boot already has support for setting this, all we need to do is define OF_STDOUT_PATH and then everything will just work ootb, without people needing to meddle with adding console= arguments in extlinux.conf .
