Kernel 5.10 on Ubuntu 20.04 (or later) (for T2 Apple hardware)

[Will McGinnis]

Hi Keith, Thanks for that. In your view and experience is that the best way
to get kernel version 5.10 with the Ubuntu patches, or is there a more
proper way?
In the page at link you provided it says that OEM kernels have a shorter
support life so it seems like support for 5.10.x will drop well before the
upstream kernel developers stop supporting it.
