Dear Maintainer,

Currently the initrd section of the generated extlinux.conf will only use discovered
initrd.img-* files from /boot. However, some systems (discovered on the PinePhone Pro,
but other reclaimed Android devices are affected) require a custom "miniramfs" to be used.

Would it be possible to include the ability to manually set the initrd record in
/etc/default/u-boot? The attached patch allows a static configuration which will be used
for all kernels. An alternative would be setting "/miniramfs-${_VERSION}".

Thanks for considering,
Undef.

Hi,

As we discussed this on another channel, here are my comments on your
patch. Also, would you please consider sending the patch as an
attachment rather than inline in the email body? (or maybe provide both,
as this one is quite small).

As other variables, this needs a sensible default. IMHO this would be
better:

   +U_BOOT_INITRD="${U_BOOT_INITRD:-initrd.img-}"

This would even make the rest of your patch simpler by replacing every
occurrence of "initrd.img-" with "${U_BOOT_INITRD}".

It would also be nice to add this variable to the default config.

Cheers,
Arnaud
