Hi Grant
Humm, do i have an old version of ePAPR?
All i see is that in Table 3-4 It says:
stdout-path O <string> A string that specifies the full path to the
node representing the device to be used for
boot console output. If the character ":" is
present in the value it terminates the
path. The value may be an alias.
If the stdin-path property is not specified,
stdout-path should be assumed to define the input device.
So what is before the : is defined. What comes afterwards,
baudrate/parity/bits/flow control does not appear to the defined in
ePAPR. Should we not document the extension being added here?
