+Subject: [PATCH] feat(hwdb): install hwdb on demand when module is needed
+
+Adding a module to install hwdb. Further extensions might make only selected
+part of hwdb installable, to save space. The module is not included by default.
+
+Including the module adds 2MB of compressed data (on Fedora, the file has 12MB).
+
+hwdb is needed in case of custom HW, like a keyboard/mouse or various interfaces.
+
+Original PR: https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/pull/1681
+
+(Cherry-picked commit: 062e739d89543a38d4b3e2cab155912bc4bf9e56)
+
+Resolves: #2233597
