Subject: [PATCH 4/4] MIPS: add bootargs-override property

From: David Bauer <mail@...id-bauer.net>

Add support for the bootargs-override and bootargs-append property
to the chosen node similar to the one used on ipq806x or mpc85xx.

This is necessary, as the U-Boot used on some boards, notably the
Ubiquiti UniFi 6 Lite, overwrite the bootargs property of the chosen
node leading to a kernel panic on kernel loading (hardcoded root path or
other not compatible thing).
