The function bootcmdline_init() in arch/mips/kernel/setup.c will populate the boot_command_line string using the parameters hardcoded in the kernel, and those provided in the devicetree file. Then, it would append the content of the arcs_cmdline variable, which is filled by the board's plat_mem_setup() function. The plat_mem_setup() function for the generic MIPS board would just copy the current boot_command_line to arcs_cmdline, which is nonsense for two reasons: - the result will be appended to the boot_command_line anyway, so all it does is duplicate every single parameter on the command line; - the code did not perform at all what it's supposed to, which is to retrieve the parameters passed by the bootloader. Fix this by calling fw_init_cmdline() in plat_mem_setup(), which will properly initialize arcs_cmdline to the parameters passed by the bootloader.
