[Bug 1854487] Re: Add Raspberry Pi 4 rev 1.2 entry

[Dave Jones]

** Description changed:

+ 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]). An entry will need
- to be added to the flash-kernel database to permit it to recognize the
- platform.
+ (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
+ * Run "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:waveform/flash-kernel" to add the PPA containing the test package
+ * 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").
+ 
+ 
+ Other Info
+ ==========
+ 
+ The following branch contains the relevant changes:
