[PATCH] powerpc: Support CMDLINE_EXTEND

From: Chris Packham
Date: Wed Jul 24 2019 - 01:33:17 EST


Device tree aware platforms can make use of CMDLINE_EXTEND to extend the
kernel command line provided by the bootloader. This is particularly
useful to set parameters for built-in modules that would otherwise be
done at module insertion. Add support for this in the powerpc
architecture.
