[PATCH] of: fdt: Honor CONFIG_CMDLINE* even without /chosen node

From: Alexander Sverdlin
Date: Mon Dec 12 2022 - 00:57:08 EST


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"

Move CONFIG_CMDLINE handling outside of early_init_dt_scan_chosen() so that
cases b and c above result in the same cmdline.
