Public bug reported:

When trying to upgrade a Raspberry Pi 3 to Ubuntu 26.04, I get the
EEPROM upgrade error introduced due to
https://launchpad.net/bugs/2130734. However, this error message is
specifically for Raspberry Pi 4 and should not affect the Raspberry Pi
3.

It appears the _test_and_fail_on_pi4_old_eeprom method is not excluding
device trees for Raspberry Pi versions that don't have boot EEPROM. In
my case, /proc/device-tree/compatible says:

raspberrypi,3-model-bbrcm,bcm2837

** Affects: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)
