[PATCH 1/3] OF: Add helper for matching against linux,stdout-path

[Sascha Hauer]

devicetrees may have a linux,stdout-path property in the chosen
node describing the console device. This adds a helper function
to match a device against this property so a driver can call
add_preferred_console for a matching device.
