[Bug 1923673] Re: Rewrite fkms overlay to kms overlay on upgrade of desktop pi image

[Brian Murray]

Finally, would adding more information to config.txt about why the
changes were made help? I'm thinking either link to the bug, to the
release notes, or include the code comment in config.txt. That being
said I don't know what all is in config.txt so that may not be
appropriate.

Title:
  Rewrite fkms overlay to kms overlay on upgrade of desktop pi image

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  With the switch to the Wayland desktop in hirsute, the gadget defining
  the boot partition of the desktop image for the Raspberry Pi was
  updated to use the KMS overlay ("full" KMS) instead of FKMS ("fake"
  KMS): https://github.com/snapcore/pi-
  gadget/commit/5c701c62e9502999a4af3ba0f071bf3b764e1b30

  In addition, the camera firmware was disabled with a comment as there
  may be incompatibilities with it at this time. However, users
  upgrading from groovy may still have such entries in their boot
  configuration. We should deal with this by adding an appropriate
  "quirk" to the release upgrader.
