I mean you could have modules > install on the rootfs and not all of them are packed in initramfs ? > Just wondering if that works for other modules, we can examine how > do they work and what are we missing ? scmi is special because the actual devices under /sys/bus/scmi/devices only get created when the module with the driver is loaded because of some funtion/id mapping requiring info from the driver. Patch 2/2 tries to work around this by loading all scmi drivers matching the scmi protocol which is known at bus enumeration time, but this only works if the actual scmi driver is in the initramfs because this done through directly calling modprobe() from the kernel which does not get "replayed" when switching to the real rootfs. And no /sys/bus/scmi/devices/xxx device means no /sys/bus/scmi/devices/xxx/modalias nor /sys/bus/scmi/devices/xxx/uevent which udev uses for coldplug (hotplug event replay) when switching to the real root. The cleanest way to fix this from a how things are supposed to work according to the generic kernel device-model design is to get rid of the creation of the devices being delayed. Which may mean moving some static mapping tables from the driver into the scmi core. I'm not familiar enough with the scmi bus code to be sure. Regards, Hans >
