Ah that's a good point! We add these commands in Yocto, but I forgot the 
use case without Yocto. So I will add a nv/linux.bootargs.rootfs file 
with "rootwait ro fsck.repair=yes" (fsck.repair is a systemd unit).

This is already implemented by a test above these changes, isn't it?

snippet from init/bootsource:
   1 #!/bin/sh 

   2 

   3 if [ -n "$nv.boot.default" ]; then 

   4         exit 

   5 fi

   7 if [ -e /dev/mmc1.0 ]; then
