For any rootfs on LVM, I expect root=/dev/mapper/VG-LV. When updating the kernel, it calls grubby, which should just create a new entry based on a previous entry only updating the name of the kernel and initramfs accordingly. I haven't seen it change the root entry.

Thank you for the information.
When I run grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.test
the generated file is correct.
I am not able to reproduce manually what happens during the 2 last kernal updates.
I will check again after the next update.
