[PATCH v2] Documentation: dt: Add binding for /secure-chosen/stdout-path

[Jerome Forissier <jerome.forissier@linaro.org>]

Some platforms may use a single device tree to describe two address
spaces, as described in d9f43babb998 ("Documentation: dt: Add bindings
for Secure-only devices"). For these platforms it makes sense to define
a secure counterpart of /chosen, namely: /secure-chosen. This new node
is meant to be used by the secure firmware to pass data to the secure
OS. Only the stdout-path property is supported for now.

Notes:
    Sending this again, slightly modified. Previous submission was in March
    2017 [1]. Since then, OP-TEE has implemented this binding for platforms
    that use DT [2] (fallback to /chosen/stdout-path to be implemented in
    [3]). A patch for QEMU has been proposed [4], to which the maintainer
    responded "Are the DT bindings upstream yet?" ;-)

    Changes since v1:
    - Use "should" instead of "may" ("...the Secure OS should use the value
    of /chosen/stdout-path...").
