"separate"?


"old" is a bit non-specific (e.g. there are also old mainline kernels).
Perhaps bootcmd_sunxi_compat? It's a bit of a mouthful but it will tab
complete b<tab>sun<tab> or close to that.

Does something other than the below setenv bootargs rely on this? It'd
be better not to pollute the default env with such a generically named
thing. I suggest following the naming of the command, so
root_sunxi_compat.

If it is important to have root= present e.g. for script.bin or
uEnv.txt then perhaps put setenv root ${root_sunxi_compat} at the start
of the command?
