[Bug 1975592] Re: Enable Nezha board

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

** Changed in: livecd-rootfs (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid

** Changed in: linux-riscv (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  integrate linux-allwinner patches into linux-riscv kernel
  
  [Test]
  * Newly built images should boot and work on both nezha and licheerv
  * Upgraded systems using old images should reboot and work on both nezha and licheerv
- * Once this migrates, mantic+ livecd-rootfs can be improved to use generic kernel
+ * livecd-rootfs must continue to install linux-allwinner when building for nezha and licheerv
  
  [Implementation details]
- * linux[-image]-allwinner depends on new enough generic kernel with allwinner support pull request applied; and on an updated u-boot-nezha package
- 
- * new enough u-boot-nezha package ensures that MMC driver is included in
- the initramfs, and triggers initramfs update at the end of the apt
- transaction
- 
- * End result, nezha/licheerv systems switch from tracking allwinner
- kernel to tracking generic kernel with initrd that contains MMC driver
- which used to be built-in.
+ * linux[-image]-allwinner depends on new enough generic kernel with allwinner support pull request applied; and contains additional initramfs configuration to ensure booting is possible
  
  [Regression potential]
  Ensure this new build of linux-riscv doesn't regress on existing supported systems (sifive & qemu)
  
  scope:
  linux-riscv https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2023-May/139655.html
  u-boot-nezha patch attached
  linux-meta-riscv patch attached
