Arch Linux

Description:
Approximately from beginning of May 2019 there is missing MVSAS module in the kernel for EspressoBin (linux-espressobin kernel package). The latest currently available version of this package is 5.1.11-1.

$ zcat /proc/config.gz| grep MVSAS
# CONFIG_SCSI_MVSAS is not set

The missing module causes non working PCI-SATA interface. If an external disk is attached to this PCI-SATA interface the system does not recognize the disk.

Additional info:
* package version(s): linux-espressobin 5.1.11-1
* config and/or log files etc.: see the output of grep command above
* link to upstream bug report, if any: N/A

Steps to reproduce:
1. Take EspressoBin v5 board
2. Connect a SATA disk to the SATA interface of the EspressoBin v5 board
2. Create bootable microSD card as describe in https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv8/marvell/espressobin#installation
3. Boot the system
4. Log in (username/password is root/root)
5. In shell run the following command:
$ ls /bin/sd*
6. If you get the following message then the MVSAS module is missing
ls: cannot access '/dev/sd*': No such file or directory
