Re: [U-Boot] [U-Boot, v4] bootm: Avoid 256-byte overflow in fixup_silent_linux()

This makes fixup_silent_linux() use malloc() to allocate its working space, meaning that our maximum kernel command line should only be limited by malloc(). Previously it was silently overflowing the stack.

Note that nothing about this change increases the kernel's maximum command line length. If you have a command line that is >256 bytes it's up to you to make sure that kernel can handle it.

Applied to u-boot/master, thanks!
