Commit 008a2ebcd677 ("ARM: dts: omap3: Remove skeleton.dtsi usage")
removed the skeleton.dtsi usage since we want to get rid of it.

But this can cause issues when booting a kernel with a boot-loader
that doesn't create a chosen node if this isn't present in the DTB
since the decompressor relies on a pre-existing chosen node to be
available to insert the command line and merge other ATAGS info.

Including empty chosen node fixes (or rather workaround) this problem. 
You can add my Tested-By.
