Rob Herring 064e32dc5b of: fdt: Honor CONFIG_CMDLINE* even without /chosen node, take 2
I do not read a strict requirement on /chosen node in either ePAPR or in
Documentation/devicetree. Help text for CONFIG_CMDLINE and
CONFIG_CMDLINE_EXTEND doesn't make their behavior explicitly dependent on
the presence of /chosen or the presense of /chosen/bootargs.

However the early check for /chosen and bailing out in
early_init_dt_scan_chosen() skips CONFIG_CMDLINE handling which is not
really related to /chosen node or the particular method of passing cmdline
from bootloader.

This leads to counterintuitive combinations (assuming
CONFIG_CMDLINE_EXTEND=y):

a) bootargs="foo", CONFIG_CMDLINE="bar" => cmdline=="foo bar"
b) /chosen missing, CONFIG_CMDLINE="bar" => cmdline==""
c) bootargs="", CONFIG_CMDLINE="bar" => cmdline==" bar"

Rework early_init_dt_scan_chosen() so that the cmdline config options are
always handled.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
