grub2: re-add test module
It seems more hardware needs early load of firmware when initialised to work properly (at least Intel hardware). One of previous case is CPU microcode, which this series[1] tried to change. The second one is Intel graphics IC, which needs firmware for controlling DMC circuit (switch conncted display to DC6 power state). As it stands, the i915 module is built-in and it seems the hardware can't cope with firmware loaded later from rootfs, it needs to be supplied when the module is loaded. Unfortunately we need bootloader to handle the load of firmware in this case, but as previously mentioned series[1], there was an error when initrd was hardcoded, instead of testing existence for it and then loading. To remedy this in later the 55b808e0c4be ('x86: image: add test module to bootloader') was commited. Which was later accidentally dropped when grub2 image creation was moved to packages. Therefore bring back test module, so we can test for cases of existing firmware in grub.cfg. 1. https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/openwrt/cover/20181120162044.16371-1-tomek_n@o2.pl Fixes: 5a5df62d95f5 ("x86/grub2: move grub2 image creation to package") Signed-off-by: Tomasz Maciej Nowak <tmn505@gmail.com>
