Bug Description

SRU justification:

Impact: people reported the linux-raspi2 kernel was missing several driver modules for phy and wifi if compared against the generic x86/armhf kernel, so i did a config comparison between generic and raspi2 and indeed there was a large config skew.

Fix: A config sync between generic and the raspi2 kernel was done to realign the two

Test case: Check the number of .ko files available before and after:

flag@harukaze:~/canonical/linux$ grep =m .config.4.4.0-1010.11 | wc -l
1318
flag@harukaze:~/canonical/linux$ grep =m .config.configsync | wc -l
3157

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
