[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH v2] mvebu: fix broken console on WRT32X (venom)

From: Michael Gray <michael.gray at lantisproject.com>

The console bootarg is being corrupted on boot, causing various issues
including broken sysupgrade.
Utilising the bootargs mangle patch from other targets, hardcode the console
arguments and fetch the rootfs from the bootloader.

Kernel command line: console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock8

Bootloader command line (ignored): console= root=/dev/mtdblock8

Please cherry pick to 18.06 too

changes since v1:
- Modified patch 006 to be mvebu specific. Now passes the bootloader cmdline
on if no append-rootblock stanza is found

+Subject: [PATCH 67/69] generic: Mangle bootloader's kernel arguments
+
+The command-line arguments provided by the boot loader will be
+appended to a new device tree property: bootloader-args.
+If there is a property "append-rootblock" in DT under /chosen
+and a root= option in bootloaders command line it will be parsed
+and added to DT bootargs with the form: <append-rootblock>XX.
+Only command line ATAG will be processed, the rest of the ATAGs
+sent by bootloader will be ignored.
+This is usefull in dual boot systems, to get the current root partition
+without afecting the rest of the system.

+This patch has been modified to be mvebu specific. The original patch 
+did not pass the bootloader cmdline on if no append-rootblock stanza 
+was found, resulting in blank cmdline and failure to boot.
