Device tree aware platforms can make use of CMDLINE_EXTEND to extend the
kernel command line provided by the bootloader. This is particularly
useful to set parameters for built-in modules that would otherwise be
done at module insertion. Add support for this in the powerpc
architecture.

I think you also have to implement some stuff in early_cmdline_parse() in arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c

Maybe look at https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1074126/
