Just this boot argument is not enough to boot with anyway, so listing it doesn't really help anyone. In theory you could make some assertion about what the "most popular" boot device and filesystem is, but it seems unlikely to cover the majority of the cases. I won't NAK this change myself, but I certainly won't push for it. -Doug

This patch should be entirely optional. I believe you said it wasn't necessary because the bootloader supplies it. My point is that someone needs to know what to put into the bootargs (setenv / boot.scr / uEnv.txt) - knowing whether it's ttySAC3 vs. ttySAC2 vs. ttyS0 etc. has been pretty handy for me. In this case, Snow and Spring use an identical console, so not sure if it might be tty2 or something elsewhere? My question of what to use for linux,stdout-path (which was elsewhere mentioned as successor to bootargs in that regard) remained unanswered. Should it point to the dp-controller node or what?

No idea since I've never heard of linux,stdout-path other than your emails. Maybe someone else can chime in and I'll learn something. ;) -Doug
