Dear Maintainer,
* I'm searching a solution to implement a fallback kernel mechanism
in case of boot failure. 'u-boot' has this ability, but it must be
enabled. See some example at
https://github.com/balena-os/balena-raspberrypi/blob/master/layers/meta-balena-raspberrypi/recipes-bsp/u-boot/u-boot/configs-Add-bootcount-configs-to-rpi-defconfigs.patch
* From the debian sources, it appears this option is not selected. It
would be great to at least test if enabling it permits to
effectively work around boot failures.
