Public bug reported:
Core 26 will be moving from FKMS to KMS, and uses particularly long
overlay paths with its boot setup. This is already fixed for the Pi 4
and Pi 5 in LP: #2128161 but the Pi 3 / 3+ / Zero2W / CM3+ (still
supported in 26.04 and Core 26) do not have this fix as their boot
firmware resides in this package. Bump the older boot firmware to a
version incorporating this fix.
