Bug Description

[ Impact ]

Flash-kernel only supports boards maintained in the db/all.db database.

We want to be able to support the 'Sipeed Lichee RV Dock' and the 'PolarFire Icicle Kit' in Jammy.

The database entries are copied from the Lunar/Kinetic version for the package.

[ Test Plan ]

As the database entries are the same as in Kinetic they already received some testing.

Check that no entry is deleted in the database.

Boot the LicheeRV board using the 22.04 Nezha image. Set /etc/flashkernel/machine to 'Sipeed Lichee RV Dock'. Reboot the board. Check that /proc/devic-tree/model has the value 'Sipeed Lichee RV Dock'.

Boot the PolarFire Icicle Kit. Set /etc/flashkernel/machine to 'Microchip PolarFire-SoC Icicle Kit'. Reboot the board. Check that /proc/devic-tree/model has the value 'Microchip PolarFire-SoC Icicle Kit'.

[ Where problems could occur ]

We could by mistake delete entries for other boards in the database.

We could create a database file that flash-kernel cannot parse.

This could lead to errors in booting other systems.

Both causes are not probable as we copy the entries from Kinetic where testing already has occurred.

The debdiff contains only additions to db/all.db. No deletions.

On the Sipeed Lichee RV Dock board device-tree allwinner/sun20i-d1-lichee-rv-dock.dtb is copied to /boot/dtbs and linked correctly. Reboot with the device-tree is successful.

On the SiFive HiFive Unmatched board device-tree sifive/hifive-unmatched-a00.dtb is copied to /boot/dtbs and linked correctly. Reboot with the device-tree is successful.
