Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/prom_init: remove linux,stdout-package property

This property was added in 2004 by

    https://github.com/mpe/linux-fullhistory/commit/689fe5072fe9a0dec914bfa4fa60aed1e54563e6

and the only use of it, which was already inside `#if 0`, was removed a month
later by

    https://github.com/mpe/linux-fullhistory/commit/1fbe5a6d90f6cd4ea610737ef488719d1a875de7

Fixes: https://github.com/linuxppc/linux/issues/125
