Typically, you set uart.hw.console to point to the console. Since
device numbers don't make sense, you define the console in terms of
hardware I/O location. For example:
	uart.hw.console=io:0x3f8
or
	uart.hw.console=mm:0xfef04500

The uart.hw.console variable also allows you to specify baudrate,
stopbits, parity and the device class (ns8250, z8530, etc), which
hints do not.

Hints are not recommended, unless you already have hints to
describe the hardware. In that case you can simply add:
	hint.uart.0.flags=0x10

The patch looks good to me.
