They would be set in boot.scr or extlinux.cfg on the disk that the
system boots from; the kernel cmdline is part of the OS that's installed
there, not part of U-Boot. This is why these boot scripts load a
script/config-file from the disk which in turn defines which
kernel/DTB/cmdline to use, rather than directly loading a kernel and
DTB. This approach should even be suitable for booting a non-Linux-OS,
with suitable commands in boot.scr.
