* linux-oem-6.1/jammy
* linux-oem-6.5/jammy
* ilnux/mantic

[Where problems could occur]

New device firmware blob, even blob format changes. Expect bugs, power
consumption issues, etc.

[Other Info]

linux-next now. To preserve consistency, Unstable, Mantic and OEM-6.5 kernels
are nominated for fix. As for linux-firmware, the only target is Jammy.
