- drm: Enable panic QR codes:
+ Enable DRM_PANIC and DRM_PANIC_SCREEN_QR_CODE (Closes: #1121937)
+ Set DRM_PANIC_SCREEN="qr_code"
+ Point DRM_PANIC_SCREEN_QR_CODE_URL at a Debian-hosted decoder
* Install vdso files if available.
* Move dtb into modules directory.
* Convert doc to symlink in linux-libc-dev-*-cross.
* Split modules out of kernel-image udeb.
* [amd64] drivers/accel/amdxdna: Enable DRM_ACCEL_AMDXDNA as module
(Closes: #1114868)
* ipv6: clear RA flags when adding a static route (Closes: #1117959)
* d/b/stable-update: Use linux_version_full to get current full version

* Introduce a base package for version sync.
* [arm64] Add initial Raspberry Pi 5 support
- enable MMC_SDHCI_BRCMSTB, GPIO_BRCMSTB, PINCTRL_BRCMSTB
and PINCTRL_BCM2712 as modules
- enable OF_OVERLAY
- enable MISC_RP1 as a module
* [armhf] Enable LEDS_TURRIS_OMNIA as a module for Turris Omnia LED support.
* Fix version in filenames of linux-config and linux-source packages.
* Enable TCP_AO.
* [amd64] drivers/hid/intel-thc-hid: Enable INTEL_THC_HID, INTEL_QUICKSPI and
INTEL_QUICKI2C as modules (Closes: #1119810)
* [arm64] drivers/net/ethernet/renesas: Enable RAVB as module
(Closes: #1120673)
* Fix modular build of binder.
* Also split signing info into quick and not quick.
* [amd64] drivers/platform/x86/lenovo: Enable LENOVO_WMI_GAMEZONE as module
(Closes: #1119799)
* Introduce explicit test flavour.
* Also drop update from experimental versions.
* Take over linux-libc-dev-*-cross from cross-toolchain-base, see #1065416.
* Call pytest instead of historic py.test. (closes: #1119268)
* [powerpc/powrpc64] Remove a remaining non-multiarch build.
* [armel, mips*] Remove all kernel builds.
* d/salsa-ci.yml: Fix cache configuration for build job

* [riscv64] Enable I2C_MICROCHIP_CORE, MCHP_SBI_IPC_MBOX and
PWM_MICROCHIP_CORE as modules
* [riscv64] Enable MFD_SPACEMIT_P1, MMP_PDMA and NVMEM_LAYOUT_ONIE_TLV as
modules
* [riscv64] Enable PCIE_SG2042_HOST as built-in and SPI_SG2044_NOR as
module
* [riscv64] udeb: kernel-image: add DMA and reset controllers
So we cover a couple of further HW support enablements, the
introduction of a base package for version sync, enablement of
building rust drivers and features and the switch to dracut as the
preferred initramfs generator.
The switch of the preferred initramfs generator to dracut is a first
step towards the plan to switch to dracut by default. There is work
planned to make support for d-i, Benjamin is aiming to make a list of
packages that ship initramfs-tools hooks in Debian.
