This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ARM: Drop CMDLINE_* dependency on ATAGS to the 4.19-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: arm-drop-cmdline_-dependency-on-atags.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 1a67d667c581bf5a9b16b5717f5f2611cfb587fa Author: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Sep 27 15:28:26 2022 +0200 ARM: Drop CMDLINE_* dependency on ATAGS [ Upstream commit 136f4b1ec7c962ee37a787e095fd37b058d72bd3 ] On arm32, the configuration options to specify the kernel command line type depend on ATAGS. However, the actual CMDLINE cofiguration option does not depend on ATAGS, and the code that handles this is not specific to ATAGS (see drivers/of/fdt.c:early_init_dt_scan_chosen()). Hence users who desire to override the kernel command line on arm32 must enable support for ATAGS, even on a pure-DT system. Other architectures (arm64, loongarch, microblaze, nios2, powerpc, and riscv) do not impose such a restriction. Hence drop the dependency on ATAGS.
