openwrt/target/linux/generic/pending-4.19/920-mangle_bootargs.patch

From: Imre Kaloz <kaloz@openwrt.org>
Subject: init: add CONFIG_MANGLE_BOOTARGS and disable it by default

Enabling this option renames the bootloader supplied root=
and rootfstype= variables, which might have to be know but
would break the automatisms OpenWrt uses.
