ofpath or ofpathname (from yaboot or the ibm-power-utils or whatever
that package is named) are the one doing the OF path from linux path
mapping. Not sure it supports the other way around, but that would be
the right way to handle this.

The question is if it is necessary to know that. For that I'd first like 
to see that script output I requested.

Thanks for the offer. To be honest, if possible I'd prefer practical 
examples (e.g. content of (pseudo) files, examples of symlinks) over 
technical and theoretical documentation.
Whether or not we need to look in proc, I doubt fixing this issue will be 
very hard. The main thing is to have someone who can provide the needed 
info and test changes.

Is it understood how one determines which device file (hvsi0, hvsi1 or
hvc0) Open Firmware associates with the console as it pertains to IBM
System p servers?

This can be determined by looking at properties under /proc/device-tree.

Please let me know if this is needed and I will find the documentation. I
know how it is accomplished, I just need to make sure that I point to
documentation already released by IBM.
