I don't think this is true.

I just added a argument to bootargs to salvator-common.dtsi for some 
hack testing and it took effect. Tested on-top of latest renesas-drivers 
and H3 ES2.0.

>>> DIFF <<<

# cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/chosen/bootargs
ignore_loglevel rw root=/dev/nfs ip=dhcp adv748x.txbvc=1

And the module parameter had the expected effect on the adv7482x driver.  
Is there another issue here which I'm missing?

1. It may depend on the U-Boot version
2. Anyone playing with CONFIG_CMDLINE and CONFIG_CMDLINE_FORCE?

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

    It probably does! My U-Boot clearly copies its "bootargs" env. variable 
into DT's "/chosen/bootargs" prop.

    Not me (before now). Tried it now and it works as expected.
