[RFC PATCH v2 35/74] checks: Get 'chosen' node using get_subnode()

From: Herve Codina

Date: Wed Aug 26 2026 - 06:07:05 EST


get_node_by_path() is going to be updated in order to handle orphan node
support for addon device-tree.

The 'chosen' node is a subnode of the root node and can perfectly be
retrieved using get_subnode().

In preparation of the future change related to get_node_by_path(),
replace its usage to get the 'chosen' node by a call to get_subnode().

The modification doesn't introduce any functional changes.
