Subject: [PATCH 0/2] sunxi: Enforce consistent MMC numbering
Date: Sun, 18 Apr 2021 21:52:44 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210419025246.21722-1-samuel@sholland.org> (raw)

Dealing with the inconsistent numbering has been a major pain, and
there is a solution with (as far as I can tell) no tangible downsides.
So let's use it.

Yes, I know the kernel supports UUIDs for root=. But UUIDs do not help
when referencing the whole, unpartitioned device, like is needed for
updating the bootloader and firmware. So for the use case of "write a
bootloader to the SD card, regardless of where the board is currently
booted from", I know of two options:
  - Dig around in sysfs to find the mmc number from the MMIO address,
    which means I have to know the MMIO addresses for every SoC, or
  - Apply patches like these.
