Title:
  Raspberry Pi 5 boards need an EEPROM update to boot kernel 7.0

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

Bug description:
  Raspberry Pi 5 boards will not boot Ubuntu 26.04 LTS images unless
  they have a higher EEPROM than 23 SEP 2024. It is yet to be determined
  exactly which EEPROM release is needed for upgrades, but 8 DEC 2025
  has been known to work.

  A quirk may have to be added to the release upgrader to

  A) prevent upgrading on a lower EEPROM release than the one needed, or
  B) download and apply the EEPROM somehow.
