Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Support CMDLINE_EXTEND
Date: Wed, 24 Jul 2019 17:33:03 +1200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190724053303.24317-1-chris.packham@alliedtelesis.co.nz> (raw)

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.
