My current DTS file contains following entry:

If I enable "ttylogin" in /etc/config/system it works quite similarly (just
asks for a login):

My problem appears when I drop bootargs and use:
stdout-path = "/chipcommonA/serial@0300:115200";
instead (which is a non-deprecated DTS solution).
In such case I can't login anymore:

Press the [f] key and hit [enter] to enter failsafe mode
Press the [1], [2], [3] or [4] key and hit [enter] to select the debug level
[    9.340180] procd: - early -

Do you know what's the reason for this? Can we have a proper console support
while using upstream preferred syntax for the stdout-path?
Please note entering failsafe mode it not affected by this.

Since noone got idea how to handle this, I added workaround as for now
in commit 0a05fbd135663 ("bcm53xx: add support for TP-LINK Archer C5
V2")
https://git.lede-project.org/?p=source.git;a=commit;h=0a05fbd1356631a1f903adcd63ffb05550537667

You can find it in the 320-ARM-dts-BCM5301X-Add-serial-to-the-bootargs.patch

I hit this problem again while working on the bcm4908 target. This time I
debugged it. It's caused by the procd's askconsole(). That function requires
console device (e.g. ttyS0) to be specified in cmdline's console.

I don't know how to fix it. Reading "stdout-path" from "chosen" will return
"serial0:115200n8". Then it's possible to read "serial0" alias which points
to some DT node (e.g. /bus@ff800000/serial@640).

The problem I have is that my /bus@ff800000/serial@640 doesn't reference
/dev/ttyS0 anyhow.
