Why are we upstreaming an emulation platform?
I assume you have some sort of scripts or something to load the
kernel image into the emulator, so those scripts could go and
modify the dtb in place to populate the initrd and commandline.
If you need pointers on that feel free to contact me directly.

And the hardware is not emulated properly to report the actual
frequency that the timer is running at? That's sad.
At the least, this should be in the board specific dtsi file
instead of the SoC specific file, because it's a board quirk.
