Hi Hauke,

sorry for the late reply - turns out I didn't have time to look into
this all week until now.

nit picking here: your patch actually fixes
6b94234a6598b855573a6516494de8e7d755e944 because I removed the
bootargs in that patch -> the kernel only uses the bootloader's
cmdline if there are no bootargs inside the .dts

your change looks good to me, except for two boards (there might be
more, I don't have access to a computer with a sane operating system
at the momemnt) which are still missing the bootargs:
* ARV4525PW
* ARV8539PW22

both are including danube.dtsi which provided default bootargs for all
danube boards, see [0]
unfortunately I won't be able to send a patch until Sunday (fingers
crossed...), so it'd be awesome if someone else could do this.

thanks for un-breaking things I broke!

Regards,
Martin
