Subject[PATCH 1/1] ARM: Add option CMDLINE_FORCE to force usage of the in-kernel cmdline
Date
If true the default kernel command string is used, even if the boot
loader passes another command string to the kernel.

Useful if someone cannot or don't want to change the
command-line options of the boot loader but is able to change
the kernel.
