Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: add bootargs-override property

Add support for the bootargs-override property to the chosen node
similar to the one used on ipq806x or mpc85xx.

This is necessary, as the U-Boot used on some boards, notably the
Ubiquiti UniFi 6 Lite, overwrite the bootargs property of the chosen
node leading to a kernel panic when loading OpenWrt.
