before using it. If the expanded command line started with 'setenv
bootargs', it executed this command, otherwise, it prepended 'setenv
bootargs' and executed it.

This was present to allow using U-Boot environment variables that were
meant to be used with the "run" command in the kernel command line. As
those variables can contain other commands than just "setenv bootargs",
this didn't always work correctly. Therefore, we remove this
functionality. If users are need this functionality, they can use the
uboot lines in the novaboot script to explicitly invoke the run command.

For example, the following novaboot script

    load linux/arch/arm/boot/uImage ${netargs} myparam=1

should be rewritten as follows:

    uboot run netargs

Michal Sojka [Wed, 30 Jul 2014 14:27:15 +0000 (16:27 +0200)]
U-Boot: Extend kernel command line handling

In order to be compatible with a standard U-Boot way of having
variables containin U-Boot commands and using 'run' to expand variable
references in them, we check kernel command line if it starts with
'setenv bootargs'. If yes, we simply run this command, otherwise, we
preprend 'setenv bootargs' ourselves.

Examples:

1) Novaboot script contains:

       load linux console=${console} quiet

   U-Boot is instructed to run:

       setenv bootargs console=${console} quiet

2) Novaboot script contains:

       load linux ${netargs} quiet

   and the U-Boot variable netargs contsins "setenv bootargs console=${console}"
   U-Boot is instructed to run:

       setenv bootargs console=${console} quiet

Note that in case 1) novaboot prepends "setenv bootargs" itselv
whereas in 2) inly executes the command line as is.
