noble: so an upstream commit fixes the build and adds platform id's at
the same time.. nice and confusing

Title:
  Failed to build against linux-6.11

Status in usbio-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in usbio-drivers source package in Noble:
  In Progress
Status in usbio-drivers source package in Oracular:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [SRU Justification]

  [Impact]

  Upstream commit 0edb555a65d1e ("platform: Make
  platform_driver::remove() return void") fails the build against
  linux-6.11.

  [Fix]

  An upstream usbio release WW3224-USBIO-PV-HFIX1 carries the fix.

  [Test Case]

  Install the built dkms binary package and linux-headers-
  oem-24.04b/noble. The dkms build should be triggered and complete
  successfully.

  [Where problems could occur]

  It appears the i2c protocol meant to be governed by this usbio is not
  in well control by the upstream collaborative peers, such that we fell
  into various problems due the the mismatch of firmware version, and
  therefore some ugly patch from Intel was added to work-around that.
  While we don't have too much details about the design and the
  solution, all we can do is to deploy extensive tests as possible.

  [Other Info]

  The SRU collects fixes for a few bugs:
  * bug 2076263: meant for series with kernel >= 6.11, therefore Noble and Oracular,
  * bug 2060101: meant for hwe-6.8 and on, therefore Noble and Oracular,
  * bug 2071821: meant for IPU7 platforms, therefore Oracular only (which will be compiled in linux/oracular and linux-oem-6.11/noble)
