This patchset will add staging modules exception to the kernel_tainted
test in ubuntu_boot for our raspberry pi kernel.

These modules are:
  * bcm2835_codec
  * bcm2835_isp
  * bcm2835_v4l2
  * bcm2835_mmal_vchiq
  * snd_bcm2835
  * vc_sm_cma

These will cause the following kernel taints on Focal / Jammy raspi
kernels:
  * F - unsigned / staging
  * J - staging (according to Juerg, these should not be signed and
        will be corrected in the future)

Patch tested on F-raspi:
$ sudo ./kernel_taint_test.py
Kernel taint value is 9216
Taint bit value: 10 (staging driver was loaded)
Exception made in test script: bcm2835_codec
Exception made in test script: bcm2835_isp
Exception made in test script: bcm2835_v4l2
Exception made in test script: bcm2835_mmal_vchiq
Exception made in test script: snd_bcm2835
Exception made in test script: vc_sm_cma
*   Staging modules found, but they are expected and OK
Taint bit value: 13 (unsigned module was loaded)
Exception made in test script: bcm2835_codec
Exception made in test script: bcm2835_isp
Exception made in test script: bcm2835_v4l2
Exception made in test script: bcm2835_mmal_vchiq
Exception made in test script: snd_bcm2835
Exception made in test script: vc_sm_cma
*   Unsigned modules found, but they are expected and OK
$ echo $?
0

This can help us to improve the boot-testing result review process.
