Hm, I expected just checking it in the loop as below.

The difference is checking "bootconfig" cmdline option or checking
the "bootconfig" is actually empty. So the behaviors are different
when the "bootconfig" is specified but there is no bootconfig data.
Another idea is to check whether the cmdline is actually updated by
bootconfig and show original one only if it is updated.
(I think this fits the purpose of the original patch better.)
