fix USB keyboard initialization

[notgivenby]

Summary

This commit solves the issue with the usb keyboard initialization for some boards that needed it. Initially discovered during my wip m900 port. Please see #2101

Initial Problem

Systems with CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD_REQUIRED=y or CONFIG_USER_USB_KEYBOARD=y need USB keyboard support during initrd/early boot.

Previously, the initrd/init boot script only called:

enable_usb

This enabled USB support, but it did not load the usbhid.ko module required for USB keyboard input.

As a result, systems that depend on a USB keyboard during early boot could be left without keyboard input. This could prevent users from interacting with the system during initrd, including cases where keyboard input is needed to unlock or recover the system.

Solution Description

The solution changes the USB keyboard initialization path so that initrd/init calls:

enable_usb_keyboard

instead of calling enable_usb directly.

The enable_usb_keyboard function in initrd/etc/functions.sh now performs the complete USB keyboard setup sequence:

enable_usb
wait_for_usb_devices
insmod.sh /lib/modules/usbhid.ko || DIE "usbhid: module load failed"

This ensures that when USB keyboard support is required or enabled, the system will:

1. Enable USB support.
2. Wait for USB devices to become available.
3. Load the usbhid.ko USB HID keyboard module.

Changes

• Updated initrd/init to call enable_usb_keyboard for USB keyboard setup.
• Updated enable_usb_keyboard in initrd/etc/functions.sh to:
  • Call enable_usb
  • Call wait_for_usb_devices
  • Load /lib/modules/usbhid.ko

Expected Result

USB keyboards are now properly initialized during early boot when CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD_REQUIRED=y or CONFIG_USER_USB_KEYBOARD=y.

Testing

• Verified that USB keyboard initialization now follows the full setup path.
• Confirmed that usbhid.ko is loaded through enable_usb_keyboard when USB keyboard support is enabled.

@notgivenby i've rebased on master and fixed indentation under ab308e6 but that makes me co-author.

If you're ok with that commit, LGTM and ready to merge, let me know
