12Example
13-------
14/ {
15	chosen {
16		stdout-path = "/serial@f00:115200";
17	};
18
19	serial@f00 {
20		compatible = "vendor,some-uart";
21		reg = <0xf00 0x10>;
22	};
23};

25tick-timer property
26-------------------
27In a system there are multiple timers, specify which timer to be used
28as the tick-timer. Earlier it was hardcoded in the timer driver now
29since device tree has all the timer nodes. Specify which timer to be
30used as tick timer.

32Example
33-------
34/ {
35	chosen {
36		tick-timer = "/timer2@f00";
37	};
38
39	timer2@f00 {
40		compatible = "vendor,some-timer";
41		reg = <0xf00 0x10>;
42	};
