Re: misc/60956: ramdisk-cgdroot.fs seems to check for /libdata/firmware/ in the ram disk rather than the mounted cgdroot

Right, it helps only for drivers that do it at first ifconfig up time
or similar.

For others we could decouple the config_mountroot() and the "hey this
is a good time to (re-)try loading your firmware" event, and then
send that event at config_mountroot() time but also (again) at pivot
time. For chroots we probably don't want to do that for security reasons.
