Obviously, the kernel needs a 'chosen' section, and that's 

why U-Boot

adds one.  And since U-Boot adds one, the DTS itself 

doesn't need one.

Does the 8272 never use U-Boot?

I'm not talking specifically about the 8272. I think we should at it
back to all dts's

Why do we need the chosen node in the dts files?   Is it to generalize
the dts files for use beyond u-boot?

What meaningful properties should it have in the dts?

'interrupt-controller'
