[PATCH 7/8] of: allow sending a NULL value to early_init_dt_scan_chosen

[Daniel Walker]

It's possible that an architecture may want to populate
boot_command_line before calling the device tree code.
Currently, early_init_dt_scan_chosen won't accept a NULL
in the data parameter and it returns immediately if you
send one.

I changed early_init_dt_scan_nodes() to send a NULL into
early_init_dt_scan_chosen() , then I made
early_init_dt_scan_chosen() to do the initrd checking, and
the rng-seed checking and skip all the command line related
code.

Given lots of changes to the command line, I think it makes sense
to allow the initrd code and rng-seed code to be run without
forcing the command line handling. I'm also submitting changes
to arm64 which populate boot_command_line much early and this
device tree code overwrites boot_command_line in that case.

This code depends on all architecture to have a NULL
boot_command_line at boot up when this function runs, unless
it's already populated.

This code was boot tested on powerpc 32bit, x86, and arm64.
