Currently, using fdt_fixup_stdout() on a device tree that is missing the relevant alias results in this:
WARNING: could not set linux,stdout-path FDT_ERR_NOTFOUND. ERROR: /chosen node create failed
- must RESET the board to recover.
FDT creation failed! hanging...### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###
There is no reason for this to be a fatal error rather than a warning, and removing this allows for a smooth transition on a platform where the device tree currently lacks the correct aliases but will have them in the future.

v2: Only continue booting if the problem was a missing alias, not the inability to write to the device tree.
