RISC-V: Update Kconfig to better handle CMDLINE
Added a menu to choose how the built-in command line will be used and CMDLINE_EXTEND for compatibility with FDT code. v2: Improved help messages, removed references to bootloader and made them more descriptive. I also asked help from a friend who's a language expert just in case. v3: This time used the corrected text v4: Copy the config strings from the arm32 port. v5: Actually copy the config strings from the arm32 port.

For most platforms, it is firmware or second stage bootloader
|
|
||||||
that by default specifies the kernel command line options.
|
|
||||||
However, it might be necessary or advantageous to either override
|
|
||||||
the default kernel command line or add a few extra options to it.
|
|
||||||
For such cases, this option allows hardcoding command line options
|
|
||||||
directly into the kernel.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For that, choose 'Y' here and fill in the extra boot parameters
|
|
||||||
in CONFIG_CMDLINE.

command line will be ignored and replaced by the built-in string.

Supply command-line options at build time by entering them here.

For most platforms, the arguments for the kernel's command line
|
||||||
|
are provided at run-time, during boot. However, there are cases
|
||||||
|
where either no arguments are being provided or the provided
|
||||||
|
arguments are insufficient or even invalid.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

When that occurs, it is possible to define a built-in command

line here and choose how the kernel should use it later on.
