As it stands, CM4 support in master is less than ideal: the mmc issues
I've mentioned in some earlier discussion are making it very hard to
draw any definitive conclusions. Soft reboots or cold boots don't seem
to make a difference: the storage might not show up at all, leading to
getting dropped into an initramfs shell, or it might show up but further
accesses can be delayed so much that the system proceeds to booting but
very slowly, and it might even lead to getting dropped into some
emergency/maintenance mode.

This affects both the CM4 Lite variant (no internal storage = SD card in
the CM4 IO slot) and some CM4 non-Lite variant (with internal storage),
with messages like this one getting repeated:

That happens with current master (v5.19-rc5-56-ge35e5b6f695d2), with or
without this patchset.

That being said, I'm not able to reproduce the showstopper regression
that I reported against the initial patchset (booting was breaking in
the very first few seconds), so I suppose it's fine to propose the
following even if that's somewhat tainted by those mmc issues.


With Raspberry Pi CM4 (Lite and non-Lite), mounted on a CM4 IO Board:
 - with a PCIe to quad-USB board, USB storage and USB keyboard;
 - without anything in the PCIe slot.
