Device name are typically longer than 8 characters. This leads to ragged output. Only the I and O bit of the device flags are of interest for the user. Writing a hexadecimal number is just confusing.
Before the patch the output looked like this:
=> coninfo List of available devices: pl011@9000000 00000007 IO stdin stdout stderr serial 00000003 IO usbkbd 00000001 I.With the patch the output looks like this:
=> coninfo List of available devices |-- pl011@9000000 (IO) | |-- stdin | |-- stdout | |-- stderr |-- serial (IO) |-- usbkbd (I)Signed-off-by: Heinrich Schuchardt heinrich.schuchardt@canonical.com

Is there a help update for this?
The online help does not need a change.
But a man-page in the HTML documentation with an example showing reassignment of stdios would be helpful.
In drv_system_init() we create a stdio device called "serial". Do we need this dummy device if CONFIG_$(SPL_TPL_)DM_SERIAL=y? I find this device duplicating the default serial device confusing.
