[U-Boot] Need assistance with increasing command line size on Cavium

First thing would be to ask whoever provided you with the code ;)

If this doesn't help, check the code in lib_mips/bootm.c.  Especially
linux_params_init.  Also be sure to check what gd->bd->bi_boot_params is
on your boards.

As I cannot see any Cavium support in mainline U-Boot, when can we
expect the patches adding support to be posted? :)

Cheers
  Detlev
