[Bug 2137611] Re: pi refuses to use new firmware every boot

[Dave Jones]

I suspect, given this is a Pi 4, that this is another duplicate of LP:
#2130734 -- the base EEPROM requirement is now added as a quirk in
ubuntu-release-upgrader, and documented in both release notes and the
hw-support docs. If that's the case, please let me know and I can mark
this as a duplicate.

Otherwise, if this is still an issue, please try running "rpi-eeprom-
update" and attaching the output here so we can verify this is something
else.
