Last time I tried Alpine's linux-edge kernel (was on an S905 board), my SD
card was not being detected correctly either. I also suspect missing
things in the kernel's config. For reference, this is the kconfig
postmarketOS uses:
https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/blob/4c0787f38f74a089f1140f85ba980da91fc48016/device/testing/linux-postmarketos-amlogic/config-postmarketos-amlogic.aarch64
No patches are required to get the module working.
When I tested it, the eMMC module works perfectly fine on all my Libre
Computer boards (alta, solitude, lepotato, lafrite). I've no doubt it
should work on sweetpotato as well.
Cheers.
