RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
The nvmem-imx-ocotp driver is needed to enable certain hardware on NXP i.MX SoCs which are of interest to potential RHEL for Edge customers. This driver is needed to enable networking among other things. It is included in the initrd created during a kernel install on the target hardware, but it is not included in the PXE kernel initrd which prevents PXE installs from working.

Additional info:
This is gating adding NXP i.MX 8M Quad systems to beaker. We have multiple NXP i.MX 8M Quad systems waiting to be added once PXE booting is working and this fix will allow these systems to PXE boot.
Thanks,

In this case, it seems that it should be enough to only include the module in our installation images. I am not sure what service is currently building those images these days. Maybe still lorax? But IMHO, we should reassign the bug there.
It is dracut's responsibility to include drivers in the initrd when lorax runs it in hostonly mode. lorax may trim down the list of existing drivers, but that's not what is happening here since runtime-cleanup.tmpl doesn't remove anything under .../drivers/nvmem/
Since the problem described in this bug report should be
resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
