Hi Daniel,

> Dear Maintainers,
> 
> The debian-installer initrds for arm64 cannot bring up SDIO-attached
> Wi-Fi devices sitting behind an mmc-pwrseq-simple power sequencer,
> because the reset-gpio module is not included in any installer udeb.
> 
> Observed on a MediaTek MT8186 Chromebook (Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3
> Chrome 14M868, device-tree compatible google,steelix-sku393221,
> "corsola" family) with an MT7921S Wi-Fi module on SDIO, booting the
> current daily arm64 netboot installer (kernel 7.1.3+deb14-arm64):
> ethdetect finds no NIC, manually loading mt7921s does nothing, and
> /sys/kernel/debug/devices_deferred shows:
> 
>   wifi-pwrseq     pwrseq_simple: reset control not ready
>   11240000.mmc    platform: supplied wifi-pwrseq not ready

From an installer team point of view: great work, thank you!
