[Bug 2053052] [NEW] Device type not shown for eMMC

[Heinrich Schuchardt]

Public bug reported:

When installing via Subiquity to eMMC the drive is only shown as "local
disk".

It would be helpful for the user to understand what type of device it
is, e.g. by adding the device name: "local disk mmcblk0".

block/probe-data.json has this information:

{
    "blockdev": {
        "/dev/mmcblk0": {
            "CURRENT_TAGS": ":systemd:",
            "DEVLINKS": "/dev/disk/by-path/platform-16010000.mmc /dev/disk/by-id/mmc-SOD16G_0xe5ce1136 /dev/disk/by-diskseq/10",
            "DEVNAME": "/dev/mmcblk0",
            "DEVPATH": "/devices/platform/soc/16010000.mmc/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/block/mmcblk0",
            "DEVTYPE": "disk",
            "DISKSEQ": "10",
            "ID_DRIVE_FLASH_MMC": "1",
            "ID_DRIVE_MEDIA_FLASH_MMC": "1",
            "ID_NAME": "SOD16G",
            "ID_PATH": "platform-16010000.mmc",
            "ID_PATH_TAG": "platform-16010000_mmc",
            "ID_SERIAL": "0xe5ce1136",
            "MAJOR": "179",
            "MINOR": "8",
            "MMC_TYPE": "MMC",
            "SUBSYSTEM": "block",
            "TAGS": ":systemd:",
            "USEC_INITIALIZED": "10087412",


So how about "MMC 0 device SOD16G"?

Best regards
