^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This would be CMDLINE_NO_MODIFY as used in the actual Kconfig files.
I am fine with the change per se, but could you rename CMDLINE_NO_MODIFY to
CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER as it's used on the other architectures such as arm
and powerpc, preferably using the same help text.
Also, I usually prefer the first word in the subject to be capitalized, i.e.
sh: Convert the last use of 'optional' property in Kconfig
Thanks,
Adrian
