Could we please see complete description of the runtime effects of this change? How does it affect users? How does it benefit users? The DEVTMPFS_MOUNT Kconfig help (drivers/base/Kconfig) says: This option does not affect initramfs based booting, here the devtmpfs filesystem always needs to be mounted manually after the rootfs is mounted. which seems to no longer be correct?
