Public bug reported:
[Impact]
We landed a patch to support msm_emac module in initrd for amberwing platforms.
But the upstream driver has since been renamed to qcom_emac. This module is
needed in d-i's initrd so that these nics can be used to d-i install the
system. The driver already exists in the zesty kernel under
drivers/net/ethernet/qualcomm/emac/
Revert commit 14893d91c9c391f8a4c2668b96ffe60aa728ad23 and add qcom_emac
to initrd, and change the module name to qcom_emac.
[Test Case]
D-I install zesty on amberwing platform and notice that DI does not recognize
the onboard two port nic.
[Regression Potential]
At present this driver applies only to amberwing systems, any regression will
be isolated to amberwing platforms. The over all risk of regression is low.
