Bug description:
SRU Justification
Impact: CONFIG_SATA_HIGHBANK was changed from y to m after trusty,
with no justification appearing in the git history. This can cause
problems booting on some systems.
Fix: Change the option back to y.
Regression Potential: Minimal, as this only switches a driver from
being a module to being built-in, and the driver will only be used if
the device appears in a platform's device tree.
---
Sometime between trusty and xenial, CONFIG_SATA_HIGHBANK was changed
from y to m. I believe the change was in utopic, but it's hard to
tell.
This makes booting on Calxeda Highbank systems pretty difficult since
you can't get to the root filesystem on a SATA disk unless you were
smart enough to have initramfs-tools include the sata_highbank module.
On a clean install, you'd need to know to drop out of the installer,
and rebuild the initramfs appropriately.
Any chance that could be changed back to y for armhf?
