[Bug 1859478] Re: Use the 5.3 kernel for the raspi3 bionic 18.04.4 images

[Łukasz Zemczak]

This is still verified, as seen in the latest raspi3 bionic daily build:
"Installing linux-image-raspi2-hwe-18.04 as Depends of linux-raspi2-hwe-18.04"

Title:
  Use the 5.3 kernel for the raspi3 bionic 18.04.4 images

Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in livecd-rootfs source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Currently our bionic images only support the pi2, pi3 and cm3 families
  of devices. For 18.04.4 we would also like to enable support for the
  pi4 (available in eoan+). For this to work, kernel support is required
  - this can be achieved by either backporting all the needed pi4
  patches to the 4.15 kernel *or* using the 5.3 raspi one from focal
  that has already been tested and working. We decided that using 5.3 is
  the smartest and safest bet, so for this to work we need to use a
  different kernel flavour - linux-raspi2-5.3.

  This requires a change in livecd-rootfs to pull in the new kernel
  flavour for our raspi3 images.

  [Test Case]

  Build a raspi3 classic bionic image via cdimage with -proposed
  enabled. Confirm that linux-raspi2-5.3 is used instead of linux-
  raspi2.

  [Regression Potential]

  None really. The only thing that could go wrong is that the raspi3
  images would be using the wrong kernel - but that would fail
  verification then.
