fix: use kernel-built DTBs for RPi SD card driver probe

The sdhci-iproc driver (RPi 4 SD card controller) probes via Device Tree matching. Using DTBs from the firmware repo instead of the kernel build caused a mismatch — the driver silently failed to probe, resulting in zero block devices after boot. Changes: - Use DTBs from custom-kernel-arm64/dtbs/ (matches the kernel) - Firmware blobs (start4.elf, fixup4.dat) still from firmware repo - Also includes prior fix for LABEL= resolution in persistent mount Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
fix: resolve LABEL= syntax for RPi data partition

Using DTBs from the firmware repo instead of the kernel build caused a mismatch — the driver silently failed to probe, resulting in zero block devices after boot. Changes: - Use DTBs from custom-kernel-arm64/dtbs/ (matches the kernel) - Firmware blobs (start4.elf, fixup4.dat) still from firmware repo - Also includes prior fix for LABEL= resolution in persistent mount Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-02-12 19:27:54 -06:00

Fix by detecting LABEL= prefix and resolving it to a block device path via blkid -L in the wait loop. Also loads mmc_block module as fallback for platforms where it's not built-in.

Changes: - Increase partition 1 from 32 MB to 384 MB - Populate partition 1 with full boot files (kernel, initramfs, config.txt with kernel= directive, DTBs, overlays) - Keep autoboot.txt for A/B redirect on supported EEPROMs - When autoboot.txt works: boots from partition 2 (A/B scheme) - When autoboot.txt is unsupported: boots from partition 1 (fallback) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-02-12 18:52:21 -06:00
