I don't understand the question. Why would stuff from the UEFI
firmware be added to the kernel cmdline? and what does that have to do
with the DT fixup protocol?

Various UEFI interfaces are available from userspace anyway, are you
sure that whatever data you are looking for isn't readily available
from /sys/ anyway? why must it be kernel command line?

I don't know what this is, and what that has to do with uefi, sd-boot
or dt?

Anyway, the question is very confusing, I am not surprised noone
answered so far.
