[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH] gemini: Fix hard disk boot on D-Link devices

[Linus Walleij]

Since the D-Link devices boot from hard disk we need to
add the following changes to Gemini:

- Supply a bootarg in the device tree so we can boot from
the right partition (/dev/sda4 on DNS-313)
- Disable forced command line in config so the kernel picks
up the right bootargs from the device tree
- Enable EXT4 in the config as this is used for rootfs else
we get nowhere, we cannot load this as a module because,
well, it is supposed to be loaded from the root partition
(chicken and egg problem).

Also clean out the premature attempts to dynamically
modify the command line in the Image makefile: we should
pass this with the device tree bootargs instead, it works
much better.

+Subject: [PATCH] ARM: dts: Fix bootargs for Gemini D-Link devices
+
+These machines need to be booted from very specific harddisk
+partitions (as the D-Link DNS-313 boots specifically from
+partition 4). Add the proper bootargs so that everything works
+smoothly.
