Title:
Add Raspberry Pi 4 rev 1.2 entry
Status in flash-kernel package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in flash-kernel source package in Eoan:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Impact
======
A new variant of the Raspberry Pi 4 (revision 1.2) has been released
(presumably to deal with the USB-C power issue [1]). Without a
corresponding entry in the flash-kernel database, users of this board
will receive an error whenever flash-kernel is run (e.g. on kernel
updates); see LP: #1848790 comment #44 for an example.

chargers-or-why-you-need-two-cc-resistors/
Test Case
=========
* On a Pi 4 Rev 1.2 board, boot an Eoan image (working around LP: #1848790 as necessary)
* Attempt to run "sudo flash-kernel"
* Observe the "Unsupported platform" message
* Enable proposed
* Run "sudo apt upgrade" to upgrade the flash-kernel installation
* Run "sudo flash-kernel" once more, observe no error
Regression Potential
====================
Extremely low; the change is a one liner adding a matching "Machine"
line to the database. It doesn't remove or alter existing lines. The
worst case scenario is that the Machine line doesn't match the model
in the device-tree (in which case it'll still produce "Unsupported
platform").
