Subject: package/busybox: support automatic module loading with mdev
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=07f46c2b6daec44a6176039c90be67e66c4c2e42;p=buildroot.git

package/busybox: support automatic module loading with mdev

A recently discussed on the mailing list:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2016-February/154189.html

Our mdev configuration currently doesn't handle module loading. Fix that by:

- Telling mdev to run modprobe on hotplug events providing MODALIAS

- Adjust the init script to handle coldplug modalias events (E.G. modules
  for which the devices were already present before mdev was added as the
  hotplug handler). mdev -s should arguable handle this, but it doesn't.
