In this situation, no code is needed to perform such an operation.  If you want to do this, just enable the PREBOOT feature and define a default "preboot" command as "setenv stdout serial".  THe effect is the same, but now the user still has a chance to change behavious as he deems fit.

I tried the "no code" approach initially (following the README) and it did not allow me to redirect the console output to serial port.

Only when I placed 'setenv("stdout", "serial");' inside board_late_init() worked for me.
