booting: more flexible Linux bootargs generation
We currently use the environment variable 'bootargs' to get the Linux bootargs. This patch allows for a more flexible bootargs generation using global variables. With it the Linux bootargs are concatenated from multiple variables. This allows to replace parts of the bootargs string without having to reconstruct it completely. With this bootargs can be constructed like: global linux.bootargs.base="console=ttyS0,115200" global linux.bootargs.ip="ip=dhcp" global linux.mtdparts="physmap-flash.0:512K(nor0.barebox),-(root)" This will then automatically be combined into a kernel bootargs string during boot. If the 'linux.bootargs.' variables are all empty the old standard 'bootargs' way will be used. Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>
