That's probably doable. For avoidance of doubt, is this:

mmc_core
mmc_block
sdhci
sdhci_pci

… the exact list of modules you want included?

Would you be interested in trying to contribute this change yourself?

If so, you can submit a merge request on
https://salsa.debian.org/tails-team/tails.

I think the best way to do so is to create a new file based on
config/chroot_local-includes/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/kms.

Other doc you might need:
