Hello Andreas, Sorry for missing your v5.

If you want to add a bootargs in the DTS I think that it should be a complete kernel command line that allows to boot a system. I would at least add a root parameter and possibly another console for the serial port. So if CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER is not set then the DT can be used to specify the bootargs instead of using whatever was set in CONFIG_CMDLINE which probably won't be relevant for every system on a multi-platform kernel. But I think that is safe to rely on the bootloader to set the bootargs and after all having a hardcoded bootargs in the DTS is not much better than having a hardcoded CONFIG_CMDLINE since as Doug said it is hard to make assumptions about what would be the most common options. Personally I would just drop this change and as I said before remove the empty chosen node on a follow up patch but I don't have a strong opinion either.
