ARM: omap: Add empty chosen node in SoCs top level DTSI

Hello Tony,

As discussed in [0], there's a regression when booting a kernel with a DTB
that doesn't have a pre-existing chosen node. This is usually not an issue
for most boards since u-boot creates an empty chosen node if isn't present
in the DTB.

But it can be an issue for others bootloaders as Pali pointed out with the
N9/900/950 phones and the Nokia Loader (NoLo).

This patch series add chosen nodes in the top level DTSI for all OMAP SoCs.

Best regards,

Commit 55871eb6e2cc ("ARM: dts: dra7: 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.

Hello Tony,

As discussed in [0], there's a regression when booting a kernel with a DTB
that doesn't have a pre-existing chosen node. This is usually not an issue
for most boards since u-boot creates an empty chosen node if isn't present
in the DTB.

But it can be an issue for others bootloaders as Pali pointed out with the
N9/900/950 phones and the Nokia Loader (NoLo).

This patch series add chosen nodes in the top level DTSI for all OMAP SoCs.

Applying these into omap-for-v4.10/fixes thanks.

Tony

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