[Bug 2069802] Re: [SRU] flash-kernel to support xilinx kria platforms with noble kernel

[Talha Can Havadar]

@Dave thank you very much for the enlightenment as well.

Based on the recent development in xilinx optimized noble kernel (more
configurations enabled) and seems like we needed to drop CMA to 800M.
Decision is backed by AMD Xilinx team, they are confident that it will
be enough for the FPGA applications that they provide. So thats why I
uploaded new versions of debdiffs noble-3 and oracular-2

But I will unsubscribe ubuntu-sponsors from this bug until flash-kernel
changes stabilised.

Title:
  [SRU] flash-kernel to support xilinx kria platforms with noble kernel

Status in flash-kernel package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

   * With the current version of flash-kernel, users wont be able to
  boot into xilinx devices using optimised noble kernel because of the
  renaming of device-trees in kernel and cma configuration changes.

   * We need to fix this issue to keep support for xilinx devices in
  noble as well. This must not be back-ported into jammy since the
  kernel in jammy keeps the old names for device-trees and cma
  configuration in there didn't change

   * Patch will fix the issue by updating bootscript and `its` file to
  point correct device-tree files.

  [ Test Plan ]

   * Flash the new image generated with new flash-kernel that has this fix
   * Try booting with new image
   * You should be able to reach the login prompt and be able to login using default username and password
   * This must work for all Kria devices listed below:
    - KV260
    - KR260
    - KD240

  [ Where problems could occur ]
   * This change could only impact Xilinx Kria devices since it will only touch the files used by Xilinx Kria platforms including the ones listed above in test plan
   * Since this is an enablement patch for Ubuntu Noble image on Xilinx Kria platforms, there shouldnt be an impact to devices in the field.
   * If the patch is broken then the devices listed above will still continue to not work.

  [ Other Info ]
   
   * This is based on changes in new optimised kernel: https://code.launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux-xilinx/+git/noble
