Ah, yes.  Looks to me then as if the bug exists there, and not in arch
code then.  early_init_dt_scan_chosen() completely ignores the CMDLINE
options if the chosen node is not found.

Sorry, that's my mistake - as you've pointed out above, it is supported
but via generic code.  I was only looking at arch code when I made the
statement.

This patch (untested) should solve it:
