[Bug 1965539] Re: [FFe] Update rpi-eeprom to current upstream release (13.12-1) from raspios

[Dave Jones]

** Description changed:

  rpi-eeprom upstream (13.12) includes several important changes. From the
  changelog:
  
  * Support and bug fixes for all Compute Module variants.
  * NVMe interoperability fixes
  * FAT/GPT fixes and file-system performance improvements.
  * Added secure-boot support for industrial applications
  * Added ramdisk / boot.img - for RPIBOOT and secure-boot.
+ 
+ Furthermore, this release promoted the (previously beta) net-install
+ capability to the stable firmware.
+ 
+ = FFe Justification =
+ 
+ The network install capability permits installation without the
+ requirement for an additional machine (to flash the SD card). We have
+ had this in the beta branch for testing for several months now, but
+ upstream has only just promoted it to stable.
+ 
+ The secure-boot capability is also of major interest to both the Core
+ and Classic images, particularly with regard to it being an LTS release.
+ 
+ The new firmware has been successfully tested several images on all Pi 4
+ and 400 models that we support (not tested on the 0, 2, or 3 as these
+ models do not have the boot EEPROM).

  The network install capability permits installation without the

  The secure-boot capability is also of major interest to both the Core
