ARM: 7437/1: zImage: Allow DTB command line concatenation with ATAG_C…
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
…MDLINE

This patch allows the ATAG_CMDLINE provided by the bootloader to be
concatenated to the bootargs property of the device tree.

This is useful to merge static values defined in the device tree
with the boot loader's (possibly) more dynamic values, such as
startup reasons and more.

The bootloader should use the device tree to pass those values to
the kernel, but that's not always simple (old bootloader or very
small one).

The behaviour is the same as the one introduced by Victor Boivie in
4394c12 by extending the CONFIG_CMDLINE.

Uses the command-line options passed by the boot loader instead of
the device tree bootargs property. If the boot loader doesn't provide
any, the device tree bootargs property will be used.

The command-line arguments provided by the boot loader will be
