The console bootarg is being corrupted on boot, causing various issues
including broken sysupgrade.
Utilising the bootargs mangle patch from other targets, hardcode the console
arguments and fetch the rootfs from the bootloader.

Kernel command line: console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock8

Bootloader command line (ignored): console= root=/dev/mtdblock8

Please cherry pick to 18.06 too

Community have flagged this as broken on devices that aren't Venom.
Investigating further. Please hold fire on this one for now.

+Subject: [PATCH 67/69] generic: Mangle bootloader's kernel arguments
+
+The command-line arguments provided by the boot loader will be
+appended to a new device tree property: bootloader-args.
+If there is a property "append-rootblock" in DT under /chosen
+and a root= option in bootloaders command line it will be parsed
+and added to DT bootargs with the form: <append-rootblock>XX.
+Only command line ATAG will be processed, the rest of the ATAGs
+sent by bootloader will be ignored.
+This is usefull in dual boot systems, to get the current root partition
+without afecting the rest of the system.
