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.

I like it but I've an issue with it I cannot specify the option for

as example I need to set the uart at 38400n8 or 115200n8 regarless of wath the
booloader did

Best Regards,

Right. stdout-path can have a set of arguments appended for things like
serial speed.  ePAPR says this about stdout-path:

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, this function needs to do three more things:
- also look for 'stdout-path' (in addition to 'linux,stdout-path')
- Parse for a ':' in the path and trim that off so it can be used for
  arguments. (Bonus: return the arguments to the caller)
- make sure that it can handle the path containing an alias (I've just
  not checked if the current code will handle this)
