Add a /chosen node with stdout-path pointing to serial0 (uart1) to
enable the DT-driven console discovery path in
serial_find_console_or_panic().
Without this node, the live DT path in serial_find_console_or_panic()
is skipped and the fallback path is used. Adding the /chosen node makes
the console selection explicit and deterministic, ensuring the correct
serial device is always selected as the console.

Changes in v2:
- Replaced the DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC approach (v1) with adding a /chosen
node in the board-specific U-Boot DTSI overlay, as suggested by
Casey Connolly. This is the standard DT mechanism for specifying
the console device and avoids modifying driver flags.
