 arguments. Data in the chosen node does not represent the hardware.
 
+The following properties are recognized:
 
-stdout-path property
---------------------
+
+kaslr-seed
+-----------
+
+This property is used when booting with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE to seed
+the entropy used to randomize the kernel image base address location. It
+is parsed as a u64 value, e.g.
+
+/ {
+	chosen {
+		kaslr-seed = <0xfeedbeef 0xc0def00d>;
+	};
+};
+
+Note that when booting through EFI when EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL is supported,
+this value will be overwritten by the EFI stub.
+
+stdout-path
+-----------
 
 Device trees may specify the device to be used for boot console output
 with a stdout-path property under /chosen, as described in the Devicetree
