Hi,
I am running kernel 5.12.4 on an imx6dl-pico-pi board with a QCA9377 Wifi chip.
Originally I was selecting BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_CREATION_DYNAMIC_EUDEV=y,
but that caused the QCA9377 firmware to be loaded only after almost 3
minutes.
Changing it to BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_CREATION_DYNAMIC_MDEV=y caused the
QCA9377 firmware to be loaded very quickly as expected.
I am using a recent master version of Buildroot:
ab9ceea782c770acdb9a25d8601b12af261c8ccb
I am OK with using MDEV but just wanted to report it in case someone
knows if this is a known EUDEV issue.
Thanks,
Fabio Estevam
