add debug info. sometimes cmdline in dts is too long,

I don't see debug info here.

Please use full sentences, starting with capital letter and ending with
full stop.

Please wrap commit message according to Linux coding style / submission
process (neither too early nor over the limit):
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.4-rc1/source/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst#L597


developers are not aware of the length limit of the
cmdline, resulting in some misjudgments.

Why only OF early should have this warning and cmdline passed via ATAGS
or in ACPI system should not?
I have a Raspberry Pi 5, so I can test my patch. But for chips with other architectures, I don't have the equipment and I am not very
familiar with them. If you are familiar with other architectures,
I hope you can help impore the patch or independently complete this
idea.

Thanks.
