I just tested and U-Boot 'bootargs' has precedence over DT bootargs
but I didn't find a way to append boot parameters from U-Boot. You can
either overwrite it completely or not.

That been said I think that is a good idea to have some default
bootargs on the DT but since you can't append any boot option from
U-Boot I would also add root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootwait so at least it
will be able to mount the rootfs from the uSD/MMC.

Also, many IGEP COM Module base boards also have serial consoles that
are connected to the OMAP3 UART3 (ttyO2), so maybe is better to add
this to omap3-igep.dtsi instead of omap3-igep0020.dts to avoid future
duplication.

Best regards,
Javier
