I do not read a strict requirement on /chosen node in either ePAPR or in Documentation/devicetree. Help text for CONFIG_CMDLINE and CONFIG_CMDLINE_EXTEND doesn't make their behavior explicitly dependent on the presence of /chosen or the presense of /chosen/bootargs. However the early check for /chosen and bailing out in early_init_dt_scan_chosen() skips CONFIG_CMDLINE handling which is not really related to /chosen node or the particular method of passing cmdline from bootloader. This leads to counterintuitive combinations (assuming CONFIG_CMDLINE_EXTEND=y): a) bootargs="foo", CONFIG_CMDLINE="bar" => cmdline=="foo bar" b) /chosen missing, CONFIG_CMDLINE="bar" => cmdline=="" c) bootargs="", CONFIG_CMDLINE="bar" => cmdline==" bar" Rework early_init_dt_scan_chosen() so that the cmdline config options are always handled.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
