So if CONFIG_CMDLINE_EXTEND=true, dt_bootargs is empty, and @data is non
empty, I want CONFIG_CMDLINE + @data..
Now the logic...

That means that if CONFIG_CMDLINE_EXTEND is set, it will overwrite
whatever is in data. So in my case of user command line coming via
"data" in the first place, I'm not going to get the expected behaviour.
You can probably fix that by doing
if (data && ((overwrite_incoming_cmdline && !concat_cmdline) || ...
But we are losing the point of having those variables instead of
CONFIG_* in the first place.
Additionally...

So if you have CONFIG_CMDLINE_EXTEND, and have a command line in the
device-tree, you just read it, concat with what's in data but ...
the next node in the device-tree will hit the initial code above again
which will overwrite what you just did with the content of
CONFIG_CMDLINE (unless /chosen is the last node in the device-tree,
probably why it might have worked for you once).
It can still work ... as long as once you've hit the command line above,
you clear overwrite_incoming_cmdline. You may also clear read_dt_cmdline
for good measure.
Cheers,
Ben.
