Subject: [PATCH 3.18 11/31] powerpc: Look for "stdout-path" when setting up legacy consoles

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@...nel.crashing.org>

commit bf3d6afbb234156749b640b6c50f714967a85964 upstream.

Commit 78e5dfea84dc ("powerpc: dts: replace 'linux,stdout-path' with
'stdout-path'") broke the default console on a number of embedded
PowerPC systems, because it failed to also update the code in
arch/powerpc/kernel/legacy_serial.c to look for that property in
addition to the old one.

This fixes it.
