[PATCH v2 6/7] init: add secondary DPS root partition type UUID
From: Vincent Mailhol
Date: Sun Oct 25 2026 - 09:05:26 EST
Some 64-bit architectures can run 32-bit user space. For those
configurations, also allow DPS root discovery to use the compatible
32-bit root partition type UUID as a fallback.
Add a secondary root partition type UUID Kconfig symbol and include it
in the DPS root lookup when it is defined.
Try the secondary UUID only when the native lookup returns -ENODEV.
