The purpose of this series is to improve and enhance the
handling of kernel boot arguments.

It is first focussed on powerpc but also extends the capability
for other arches.

This is based on suggestion from Daniel Walker [off-list ref]

I don't see a point in your changes at this time. My changes are much more
mature, and you changes don't really make improvements.

Not really a helpful comment. What we merge here will be from whomever
is persistent and timely in their efforts. But please, work together
on a common solution.

This one meets my requirements of moving the kconfig and code out of
the arches, supports prepend/append, and is up to date.

Maintainers are capable of merging whatever they want to merge. However, I
wouldn't make hasty choices. The changes I've been submitting have been deployed
on millions of router instances and are more feature rich.

I believe I worked with you on this change, or something like it,

https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/3/19/970

I don't think Christophe has even addressed this.

I thing I have, see https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/patch/3b4291271ce4af4941a771e5af5cbba3c8fa1b2a.1614705851.git.christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu/

If you see something missing in that patch, can you tell me.

 
Ok, must have missed that one.

I've converted many
architectures, and Cisco uses my changes on at least 4 different
architecture. With products deployed and tested.

As far as we know, only powerpc was converted in the last series you
submitted, see
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/list/?series=98106&state=*

Me and others submitted my changes many times, and other architectures have been included. The patch
you submitted I've submitted similar at Rob's request years ago.

Here a fuller submissions some time ago,

https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/cover/992768/

You've only been involved in prior powerpc only submissions.
