Subject: [PATCH v6 07/15] MIPS: Setup boot_command_line before plat_mem_setup

From: Paul Burton <paul.burton@...s.com>

Platforms using DT will typically call __dt_setup_arch from
plat_mem_setup. This in turn calls early_init_dt_scan. When
CONFIG_CMDLINE is set, this leads to its value being copied into
boot_command_line by early_init_dt_scan_chosen. If this happens before
the code setting up boot_command_line in arch_mem_init runs, that code
will go on to append CONFIG_CMDLINE (via builtin_cmdline) to
boot_command_line again, duplicating it. For some command line
parameters (eg. earlycon) this can be a problem. Set up
boot_command_line before early_init_dt_scan_chosen gets called such that
it will not write CONFIG_CMDLINE in this scenario & the arguments aren't
duplicated.
