It's used by serial.c to find the console, and the kernel requires it as
well.  There's no information in the bd_t that would allow the
bootwrapper to generate this, so it has to come from the device tree.

The only reason it's not required with dt-enabled u-boot is that u-boot
has it hardcoded in the board's config file.

Oops.  I need to be more careful with 'git commit -a'. :-(
