[PATCH v2 10/19] bootstd: Add a function to update a command line

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Tue Jun 20 10:22:41 CEST 2023


The Linux command line consists of a number of words with optional values.
At present U-Boot allows this to be changed using the bootargs environment
variable.

But this is quite painful, since the command line can be very long.

Add a function which can adjust a single field in the command line, so
that it is easier to make changes before booting.

Changes in v2:
- Add comment for copy_in()
- Avoid multiplication on a boolean
- Add a comment as to why @len is needed
