[PATCH] of: support passing console options with stdout-path

Leif Lindholm leif.lindholm at linaro.org
Mon Nov 24 14:23:58 PST 2014


Support specifying console options (like with console=ttyXN,<options>)
by appending them to the stdout-path property after a separating ':'.

Example:
	stdout-path = "uart0:115200";

This patch also modifies of_find_node_by_path() to match only the
portion of the path before a ':'.
