See how you complained that I have CMDLINE_BOOL in my changed, and you think it
shouldn't exist.

Yet here mips has it, and you just deleted it with no feature parity in your
changes for this.

In my changes I tried to maintain as much feature parity as I could with the
architectures. I did the same huge conversion a long time ago you've done here to be sure all
platforms have the features needed.

AFAICT, CMDLINE_BOOL equates to a non-empty or empty CONFIG_CMDLINE. You 
seem to need it just because you have CMDLINE_PREPEND and 
CMDLINE_APPEND. If that's not it, what feature is missing? CMDLINE_BOOL 
is not a feature, but an implementation detail.

Not true.

It makes it easier to turn it all off inside the Kconfig , so it's for usability
and multiple architecture have it even with just CMDLINE as I was commenting
here.

Among the 13 architectures having CONFIG_CMDLINE, todayb only 6 have a CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL in addition:

arch/arm/Kconfig:config CMDLINE
arch/arm64/Kconfig:config CMDLINE
arch/hexagon/Kconfig:config CMDLINE
arch/microblaze/Kconfig:config CMDLINE
arch/mips/Kconfig.debug:config CMDLINE
arch/nios2/Kconfig:config CMDLINE
arch/openrisc/Kconfig:config CMDLINE
arch/powerpc/Kconfig:config CMDLINE
arch/riscv/Kconfig:config CMDLINE
arch/sh/Kconfig:config CMDLINE
arch/sparc/Kconfig:config CMDLINE
arch/x86/Kconfig:config CMDLINE
arch/xtensa/Kconfig:config CMDLINE

arch/microblaze/Kconfig:config CMDLINE_BOOL
arch/mips/Kconfig.debug:config CMDLINE_BOOL
arch/nios2/Kconfig:config CMDLINE_BOOL
arch/sparc/Kconfig:config CMDLINE_BOOL
arch/x86/Kconfig:config CMDLINE_BOOL
arch/xtensa/Kconfig:config CMDLINE_BOOL


In the begining I hesitated about the CMDLINE_BOOL, at the end I decided to go the same way as what 
is done today in the kernel for initramfs with CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE.

The problem I see within adding CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL for every architecture which don't have it today 
is that when doing a "make oldconfig" on their custom configs, thousands of users will loose their 
CMDLINE without notice.

When we do the other way round, removing CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL on the 6 architectures that have it 
today will have no impact on existing config.

Also, in order to avoid tons of #ifdefs in the code as mandated by Kernel Codying Style §21, we have 
to have CONFIG_CMDLINE defined at all time, so at the end CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL is really redundant 
with an empty CONFIG_CMDLINE.

Unlike you, the approach I took for my series is to minimise the impact on existing implementation 
and existing configurations as much as possible.

I know you have a different approach where you break every existing config anyway.
