Dear Maintainer,

/lib/systemd/system/systemd-fsck-root.service has
ConditionPathIsReadWrite=!/
on trixie.
For systemd-fsck-root.service to run fsck on the root filesystem,
it must be mounted read-only at boot.

But /etc/kernel/postinst.d/z50-raspi-firmware hard-coded the read-write mount
into /boot/firmware/cmdline. The root filesystem is never fsck'ed at boot time on trixie.

A suggested patch is attached.

Best regards, Ryutaroh Matsumoto

Since this issue does not happen with ext4 root fs as it is fsck'ed by
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/functions,
I downgrade its severity to minor.
Read-write mount of root fs still seems problematic when initramfs does not run fsck,
for example when /usr/lib/klibc/bin/fstype does not recognize type of root fs.
