Subject: [PATCH 3/3] startup: mount ps only on policy FS_EXTERNAL
Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2025 16:43:28 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251028154453.2990491-5-f.pflug@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251028154453.2990491-1-f.pflug@pengutronix.de>

Without the SCONFIG_FS_EXTERNAL, the bus of the driver for pstore will
not load, resulting in a missing driver for pstore and an error during
bootup.
Only mount the /pstore if FS_EXTERNAL is allowed by the security policy.
