[PATCH] serial: i.MX: evaluate linux,stdout-path property

[Sascha Hauer]

devicetrees may have the linux,stdout-path property to specify the
console. This patch adds support to the i.MX serial driver for this.

I was originally looking for a more generic way to handle this, but
since a struct console has no device associated to it, it's not
possible to match a console with a device in a generic way. So we
just call add_preferred_console from the driver and let it go down
to a string matching in the console code.
If anyone has a better idea how to handle this, please let me know.
Otherwise I'm happy to see this patch applied aswell.

Thanks
 Sascha
