[Qemu-ppc] [PULL 24/24] hw/ppc/spapr, e500: Use new property "stdout-path" for boot console

[David Gibson]

From: Nikunj A Dadhania <address@hidden>

Linux kernel commit 2a9d832cc9aae21ea827520fef635b6c49a06c6d
(of: Add bindings for chosen node, stdout-path) deprecated chosen property
"linux,stdout-path" and "stdout".

Introduce the new property "stdout-path" and continue supporting the older
property to remain compatible with existing/older firmware. This older property
can be deprecated after 5 years.
