Note that I have made the fallback to /chosen optional. I'm okay with this, but would like to hold off merging it until your are really using it. You did say you were "experimenting" and it doesn't sound like the DT usage in secure world is that far along. I just want to see if there are other issues that come up. Rob

Some platforms may use a single device tree to describe two address spaces, as described in d9f43babb998 ("Documentation: dt: Add bindings for Secure-only devices"). For these platforms it makes sense to define a secure counterpart of /chosen, namely: /secure-chosen. This new node is meant to be used by the secure firmware to pass data to the secure OS. Only the stdout-path property is supported for now.
