Pull devicetree changes from Grant Likely:
 "Lots of activity in the devicetree code for v3.18.  Most of it is
  related to getting all of the overlay support code in place, but there
  are other important things in there.

  Highlights:

   - OF_RECONFIG notifiers for SPI, I2C and Platform devices.  Those
     subsystems can now respond to live changes to the device tree.

   - CONFIG_OF_OVERLAY method for applying live changes to the device
     tree

   - Removal of the of_allnodes list.  This used to be used to iterate
     over all the nodes in the device tree, but it is unnecessary
     because the same thing can be done by iterating over the list of
     child pointers.  Getting rid of of_allnodes saves some memory and
     avoids the possibility of of_allnodes being sorted differently from
     the child lists.

   - Support for retrieving original DTB blob via sysfs.  Needed by
     kexec.

   - More unittests

   - Documentation and minor bug fixes"

+The chosen node
+---------------
+
+The chosen node does not represent a real device, but serves as a place
+for passing data between firmware and the operating system, like boot
+arguments. Data in the chosen node does not represent the hardware.
+
+
+stdout-path property
+--------------------
+
+Device trees may specify the device to be used for boot console output
+with a stdout-path property under /chosen, as described in ePAPR, e.g.
+
+/ {
+	chosen {
+		stdout-path = "/serial@f00:115200";
+	};
+
+	serial@f00 {
+		compatible = "vendor,some-uart";
+		reg = <0xf00 0x10>;
+	};
+};
+
+If the character ":" is present in the value, this terminates the path.
+The meaning of any characters following the ":" is device-specific, and
+must be specified in the relevant binding documentation.
+
+For UART devices, the preferred binding is a string in the form:
+
+	<baud>{<parity>{<bits>{<flow>}}}
+
+where
+
+	baud	- baud rate in decimal
+	parity	- 'n' (none), 'o', (odd) or 'e' (even)
+	bits	- number of data bits
+	flow	- 'r' (rts)
+
+For example: 115200n8r
+
+Implementation note: Linux will look for the property "linux,stdout-path" or
+on PowerPC "stdout" if "stdout-path" is not found.  However, the
+"linux,stdout-path" and "stdout" properties are deprecated. New platforms
+should only use the "stdout-path" property.
