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.
