    mpc85xx: Add cmdline override patch
    
    This patch adds a new kernel option called CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE. This
    setting is for devices with locked down u-boot environments, where users
    are unable to change the default bootargs. When set, the fdt driver will
    propagate the cmdline for the kernel from chosen/bootargs-override
    instead of chosen/bootargs as long as it exists within the DTB.
