patch to add mmc/sdhci drivers to generic initfs to enable boot from SD cards
This patch uses a more generic means of detecting which drivers are needed for MMC/SD booting on devices that have SD cards that aren't attached by USB like most ARM devices and tablets

patch to add mmc/sdhci drivers to generic initfs to enable boot from SD cards
fixes a typo on the last patch

ahci/mmc/sdhci patch that was sent upstream
This was the final patch the I've sent upstream too (vger seems to be slow so I don't have an link yet)
Currently the block driver detection for generic initrd doesn't include
the SD/MMC drivers so we fail to boot generic images on any device using
those platforms as boot devices when using a generic initrd. Add logic
to detect those modules. This primarily fixes embedded ARM devices but
also likely intel tablets/dev boards and enterprise hypervisors that
have the ability to boot from SD.
Also the ahci_init_controller misses a number of drivers that use the
libahci_platform module for the init so this fixes some missing achi
moduless too.
Finally it cleans up the ARM storage module hacks that the above now
deals with in a more generic manner.
This was fixed in dracut 38 upstream, now in rawhide |
