Subject[PATCH 1/4] docs: dt: Document new bootargs chosen property
Date
The bootargs property might be overridden by bootloaders on kernel load,
in such scenario, bootargs-override might be used instead. With
bootargs-override set, any value set in bootargs will be ignored.

The bootargs-append can be used to append additional kernel arguments
to the bootargs property. This can be useful in the context of a
bootargs overridden by the bootloader that contains correct that but
the kernel require additional one to be correctly setup.
