5d8a250f906815a56051aa402e80c0824ba9b9de hw/openrisc/openrisc_sim: keep serial@90000000 as default
We used to only have a single UART on the platform and it was located at
address 0x90000000. When the number of UARTs was increased to 4, the
first UART remained at it's location, but instead of being the first one
to be registered, it became the last.
This caused QEMU to pick 0x90000300 as the default UART, which broke
software that hardcoded the address of 0x90000000 and expected it's
output to be visible when the user configured only a single console.
This caused regressions[1] in the barebox test suite when updating to a
newer QEMU. As there seems to be no good reason to register the UARTs in
inverse order, let's register them by ascending address, so existing
software can remain oblivious to the additional UART ports.
Changing the order of uart registration alone breaks Linux which
was choosing the UART at 0x90000300 as the default for ttyS0. To fix
Linux we fix three things in the device tree:
1. Define stdout-path only one time for the first registered UART
instead of incorrectly defining for each UART.
2. Change the UART alias name from 'uart0' to 'serial0' as almost all
Linux tty drivers look for an alias starting with "serial".
3. Add the UART nodes so they appear in the final DTB in the
order starting with the lowest address and working upwards.
In summary these changes mean that the QEMU default UART (serial_hd(0))
is now setup where:
* serial_hd(0) is the lowest-address UART
* serial_hd(0) is listed first in the DTB
* serial_hd(0) is the /chosen/stdout-path one
* the /aliases/serial0 alias points at serial_hd(0)
