[Bug 1867071] Re: Raspberry Pi uses old, non-upstream DTB naming (bcm2710 instead of bcm283*)

[Qwerty Chouskie]

Yes, I am running the generic arm64 kernel on the Pi.  (It runs just
fine when renaming/copying the DTBs.)  I should note that this naming
scheme is not used by the official Raspberry Pi OS (Raspbian) anymore
either after the relevant device trees were merged into upstream Linux,
leaving Ubuntu as one of the few (if not only) hold-outs of the old
naming scheme.

Title:
  Raspberry Pi uses old, non-upstream DTB naming (bcm2710 instead of
  bcm283*)

Status in flash-kernel package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The upstream Debian package is correct, but the Ubuntu version of the
  package, even in Focal, uses the old bcm2710-* naming, which is a
  holdover from the days before upstream RPi support was put merged into
  mainline Linux.  This causes errors when using U-Boot as a uEFI
  implementation and the stock arm64 Ubuntu image with the stock arm64
  Ubuntu kernel, as every kernel upgrade, flash-kernel is looking for
  the wrong file name.  (Side note, the RPi 4 does use
  bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb in the upstream kernel, but every other Pi is
  using bcm2835 - bcm2837).
