Hi Rafal
The alias is fine. But putting the stdout-path here is unusual. Which
serial port is used for console is board specific, where as
bcm5301x.dtsi is very generic, it describes the SoC, not a board. If
you look at other .dtsi files, those that specify stdout-path contain
properties which are common to a range of similar boards.
