This version # is intended to be used when manual control is required, as it's # easier to control this from the shell than changing the Kernel # cmdline options. However, in some cases, the system won't come # up far enough to permit remote or even local access. # In such cases, you'd probably need to use the cmdline option # "kmod_load_subsyst_soc" and use this script for the rest. # Author : Stuart Winter # Date...: 20-Jan-2026 ############################################################################# # Usage: # load_subsyst platform # load_subsyst usb # load_subsyst pci ############################################################################# # Only load a module if it's not loaded already. # This prevents repeated messages. function modprobe_once() { local modname="$1" [[ -z "$modname" ]] && return 0 # Kernel reports loaded modules with '_' not '-' local norm="${modname//-/_}" if ! awk '{print $1}' /proc/modules | grep -Eq "^${norm}$"; then # modprobe accepts either form, but use the original name # Dry-run first to ensure it can be properly loaded: #modprobe -nq "${modname}" && modprobe "${modname}" modprobe "${modname}" fi } # Load the correct modules by its alias in /sys - e.g. pci:, of:, usb: ) function modprobe_by_alias() { local alias="$1" [[ -z "$alias" ]] && return 0 #modprobe_once "$alias" 2>/dev/null #modprobe -qn "${alias}" && modprobe -q "${alias}" 2>/dev/null modprobe "${alias}" } # Walk a sysfs bus device directory and load modules by modalias: function modprobe_bus_by_modalias() { local busdir="$1" local hwdevice alias for hwdevice in "${busdir}"/*; do if [[ -r "${hwdevice}/modalias" ]]; then alias="$(cat "${hwdevice}/modalias")" modprobe_by_alias "${alias}" >/dev/null 2>&1 fi done } # Sanity check that the specified bus exists: [ ! -d "/sys/bus/${1}/devices" ] && { echo "ERROR: Specified bus not found" ; exit 1 ;} echo "Bringing up sub system: ${1} ...
