Dear Richard, dear list
When testing 4.9-rc2 the device wouldn't boot, as it turns out commit
c83ed4c9dbb358b9e7707486e167e940d48bfeed prevent's me mounting root.
The relevant portion of init in the initramfs:
modprobe ubi mtd=$(get_mtd_from_root_arg) block=0,0 || rescue_shell "ubi"
modprobe ubifs || rescue_shell "ubifs"
sleep 1
mount -o ro -t squashfs /dev/ubiblock0_0 /rom || rescue_shell "mount rootfs"
mount -o rw,noatime -t ubifs /dev/ubi0_1 /overlay || rescue_shell "mount rootfs_data"
mkdir -p /overlay/upper || rescue_shell "mkdir upper"
mkdir -p /overlay/work || rescue_shell "mkdir work"
mount -o rw,noatime,lowerdir=/rom,upperdir=/overlay/upper,workdir=/overlay/work \
-t overlay overlay /newroot || rescue_shell "mount overlay"
The corresponding output:
