Re: [Bug 221721] New: prom21-xhci does not allow to use USB keyboard in plymouth

[Switching to email, hope this will work]

Jihong Min, it seems a recent change of yours is causing trouble. See
below for details.

Side note, but not my area of expertise, so feel free to ignore this, as
I might be sending people in the wrong direction and it's just a hunch
anyway: wonder if this is another of those situations where the driver
needs to be in the initramfs. Tomasz, did you have SENSORS_PROM21_XHCI=m
when things were broken? And if yes: have you tried if adding it to the
initramfs or setting SENSORS_PROM21_XHCI=y helps?

Ciao, Thorsten
