Yes, I noticed this some time ago. > It would be relatively easy to do c) by creating Yet Another Config > Variable that bootm used for the "force" flag rather than hardcoding it. > I'm not wild about creating YACV. Adding Yet Another Parameter to > bootm is probably as bad or worse. Hmmmm. I'm wondering who really wants to *not* override the chosen bootargs property? I'm probably missing something here, but for me it just makes no sense to not override the bootargs property with the U-Boot bootargs env variable.
