+The chosen node
+---------------
+The chosen node does not represent a real device, but serves as a place
+for passing data like which serial device to used to print the logs etc
+
+
+stdout-path property
+--------------------
+Device trees may specify the device to be used for boot console output
+with a stdout-path property under /chosen.
+
+Example
+-------
+/ {
+ chosen {
+ stdout-path = "/serial@f00:115200";
+ };
+
+ serial@f00 {
+ compatible = "vendor,some-uart";
+ reg = <0xf00 0x10>;
+ };
+};
+
+tick-timer property
+-------------------
+In a system there are multiple timers, specify which timer to be used
+as the tick-timer. Earlier it was hardcoded in the timer driver now
+since device tree has all the timer nodes. Specify which timer to be
+used as tick timer.
+
+Example
+-------
+/ {
+ chosen {
+ tick-timer = "/timer2@f00";
+ };
+
+ timer2@f00 {
+ compatible = "vendor,some-timer";
+ reg = <0xf00 0x10>;
+ };
+};
