I actually didn't get the point whats the problem here, but you are right our
boards have stdin,stdout,stderr defined in their environment. It seems to be
unneeded here. Maybe it is caused because we used CONFIG_CONSOLE_MUX in the past
but the relevant code was dropped at some point.

So we can remove these variables from our boards completely. Thanks for pointing
out.

Regards
Holger
