Given that you added aliases in the last patch, you can use that to
refer to the serial:

stdout-path - "serial0:115200n8";

With or without the alias you can encode the UART configuration here
too:

stdout-path = "/amba/serial@e0001000:115200n8"

Which makes the expected configuration explicit without relying on the
Linux-specific bootargs.

Is there any reason to keep linux,stdout-path?

Thanks,
Mark.
