[Bug 1897999] [NEW] groovy flash-kernel fails on rpi4b 8GB

[Paul Larson]

Public bug reported:

When running 'sudo flash-kernel' on an 8GB rpi4, it fails with the
following error:

ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ sudo flash-kernel
Unsupported platform.

This only seems to happen on the 8GB model, not 2GB, 4GB, etc.
This is reproducible on both the armhf and the arm64 kernel

flash-kernel:
  Installed: 3.100ubuntu2

Kernel versions:

Linux ubuntu 5.8.0-1002-raspi #5-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Thu Sep 3 12:48:22

Linux ubuntu 5.8.0-1002-raspi #5-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Thu Sep 3 12:40:07
