[PATCH 1/2] of/fdt: Allow architectures to override CONFIG_CMDLINE logic

[Paul Burton]

The CONFIG_CMDLINE-related logic in early_init_dt_scan_chosen() falls
back to copying CONFIG_CMDLINE into boot_command_line/data if the DT has
a /chosen node but that node has no bootargs property or a bootargs
property of length zero.

This is problematic for the MIPS architecture because we support
concatenating arguments from either the DT or the bootloader with those
from CONFIG_CMDLINE, but the behaviour of early_init_dt_scan_chosen()
gives us no way of knowing whether boot_command_line contains arguments
from DT or already contains CONFIG_CMDLINE. This can lead to us
concatenating CONFIG_CMDLINE with itself, duplicating command line
arguments which can be problematic (eg. for earlycon which will attempt
to register the same console twice & warn about it).

Move the CONFIG_CMDLINE-related logic to a weak function that
architectures can provide their own version of, such that we continue to
use the existing logic for architectures where it's suitable but also
allow MIPS to override this behaviour such that the architecture code
knows when CONFIG_CMDLINE is used.

Marked for stable as a prerequisite of the following patch.

DT maintainers: if you're OK with this it'd be great to get an ack so
this can go through the mips-fixes tree.
