Public bug reported:

With the switch to the Wayland desktop in hirsute, the gadget defining
the boot partition of the desktop image for the Raspberry Pi was updated
to use the KMS overlay ("full" KMS) instead of FKMS ("fake" KMS):
https://github.com/snapcore/pi-
gadget/commit/5c701c62e9502999a4af3ba0f071bf3b764e1b30

In addition, the camera firmware was disabled with a comment as there
may be incompatibilities with it at this time. However, users upgrading
from groovy may still have such entries in their boot configuration. We
should deal with this by adding an appropriate "quirk" to the release
upgrader.
