Got it. If we end up with a v4, I'll add it.

I just responded to that one. ...but to reiterate here: I'm happy to
add a CONFIG option to u-boot to allow setting the command line length
(so I can use the 1024 bytes I have available to me in ARM) and also
to avoid the buffer overrun.

If this is the approach you'd like me to go, I'm happy to do it.

Sorry, I must have misunderstood your earlier suggestions back in
October. My apologies there. :(
