I'm afraid even RaspiOS has moved to using bcm2710-* for their base
DTBs, putting this pretty clearly in the "won't fix" category.
** Changed in: flash-kernel (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix

Title:
Raspberry Pi uses old, non-upstream DTB naming (bcm2710 instead of
bcm283*)
Status in flash-kernel package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
The upstream Debian package is correct, but the Ubuntu version of the
package, even in Focal, uses the old bcm2710-* naming, which is a
holdover from the days before upstream RPi support was put merged into
mainline Linux. This causes errors when using U-Boot as a uEFI
implementation and the stock arm64 Ubuntu image with the stock arm64
Ubuntu kernel, as every kernel upgrade, flash-kernel is looking for
the wrong file name. (Side note, the RPi 4 does use
bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb in the upstream kernel, but every other Pi is
using bcm2835 - bcm2837).
