No mechanism exists in DT to add bootargs to the existing command line instead. This is needed in order to avoid having to update the bootloader or default bootloader config when upgrading to a DTB and kernel pair that requires bootargs not previously needed. One example use case is that OpenWrt currently supports four ARM devices by means of locally applying the previously rejected edition of this patch. So far, the patch has been used in production only on ARM, but architecture is not a distinction in the design. On MIPS, Commit 951d223 ("MIPS: Fix CONFIG_CMDLINE handling") currently prevents support of such a mechanism, so I am including a workaround, in anticipation of upcoming changes.
