Since the axs101 DT cmdline lacks any reference to root device - how does this
unmodified kernel boot anyways w/o changing DT. Does uboot provide the cmdline for
rootfs ?

The reason we've had initramfs for ages (vs. relying on uboot) is because we can't
have uboot based workflow primarily because Alexey / I have 1 AXS MB and we
constantly keep switching between 700 and HS builds.

I think you can use KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG (grep in Documentation) to override the
INITRAMFS !
