Subject: [PATCH v4] Make initramfs honor CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT

FYI I dug up my old https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/9/13/651 and ported it to
current, because I needed it for a thing.

From: Rob Landley <[email protected]>

Make initramfs honor CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT, and move
/dev/console open after devtmpfs mount.

Add workaround for Debian bug that was copied by Ubuntu.

Hi Rob,

You need to send this patch to some maintainer who could merge it.

And it uses the wrong multi-line comment format.

cheers.

Um, hi.

The implicit "if" is "you expect the kernel bureaucracy to merge anything Not
Invented Here", and the 3 year gap since the last version is because I stopped:

https://landley.net/notes-2017.html#14-09-2017

To be honest I didn't think anyone would notice this. They don't usually:

http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/2002.2/00083.html
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-sh/msg56844.html

It just seems polite to post things that got shipped to customers.

Offending comment removed.
