+Subject: [PATCH] Switch drivers in initramfs
+
+Running depmod fails on Debian loads due to ostree. Using
+"ostree admin unlock --hotfix" allows the command to pass,
+but that's not usable for feature/product delivery.
+
+So we will switch drivers in initramfs. If cmdline parameter
+multi-drivers-switch is set to legacy, the legacy drivers
+will be loaded by "insmod" command before udevd is started,
+and that ensures that the legacy drivers will be loaded
+rather than the latest drivers.
+
+We need do the following steps to switch to the legacy drivers.
+1. Add cmdline parameter multi-drivers-switch=cvl-2.54
+2. reboot
+
+Do the following steps to switch back to the latest drivers.
+1. Add cmdline parameter multi-drivers-switch=cvl-4.0.1
+2. reboot
+
