And in fact, what should really be done is not the above but simply
update early_init_dt_scan_chosen_ppc() in drivers/of/fdt.c as it is
there that CONFIG_CMDLINE and CONFIG_CMDLINE_FORCE and
CONFIG_CMDLINE_EXTEND are handled.
It looks to me that the current implementation is rather complete and
eventually only missing the prepend. Why not just add prepend to the
current implementation, and also move CONFIG_CMDLINE etc ... into
arch/Kconfig instead of having it in each arch ?
