[LEDE-DEV] [LEDE-DEV,fstools] mount_extroot: repeat detection for slow devices

[sam_ at centrum.sk]

Thanks for responding, I've tried that. As I stated, until some time there was no problem for this SD card+4G dongle to be found even with single 5 second delay. Then after (what I suspect) electricity blackout, mount_extroot was not able to find corresponding device no matter how much time I assigned to delay_root. But upon full boot up, device was there, I could mount its fs (tried both f2fs and ext4) and read/write files. Only with repeated calls to make_devs() this card+dongle combination is properly detected for mount_extroot to complete successfully. Should that matter/help dongle is huawei_E3372h-153 with 8GB SanDisk microSD.

 Just set delay_root to an appropriate value, as mentioned in
