I'm not sure this behavior can be changed without breaking some MIPS platforms that could be relying on the current behavior. But trying to make sense of the MIPS code is a challenge and they have some other issues in this area. Can't this be fixed by making /chosen manditory? I'd expect ultimately you are always going to need it. I'd rather not resort to making this per arch. There's also some effort to consolidate cmd line handling[1].
