The issue is fixed in Lunar and newer so closing the main task.
Technically we should SRU to kinetic before jammy but it's probably fine
to skip that serie at this point

Title:
[SRU] Support to install nvidia driver by allowing list
Status in OEM Priority Project:
Confirmed
Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[ Impact ]
* In NVIDIA new GPU release cycle, NVIDIA ships their new GPUs to
OEM/ODM for production.
In the meantime, NVIDIA usually notify OEM/ODM/Canonical (under NDA)
to use a specific nvidia version to development/production.
NVIDIA and OEN/ODM will announce the next generation combination at
the same time usually when the factory ready to ship the product.
We made Ubuntu as a leading distribution supports many cutting edge
devices, it's time to have an official way to make the nvidia
installation consistent in unannounced (yet) nvidia devices to support
OEM/ODM factory shipment for our growing counterparts.
[ Test Plan ]
* Steps to make sure it works:
1. pick a cutting edge nvidia graphic.
2. remove nv-525 from the pool.
3. check the nv support status:
```
$ ubuntu-drivers list
oem-fix-gfx-nvidia-ondemandmode
libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom
oem-somerville-cinccino-meta
```
4. modify custom file
```
$ cat /etc/custom_supported_gpus.json
{
"chips": [
{
"devid": "0x24BA",
"name": "TEST 24BA",
"branch": "580.1234",
"features": [
"runtimepm"
]
},
{
"devid": "0x25BC",
"name": "TEST 25BC",
"branch": "510",
"features": [
"runtimepm"
]
}
]
}
```
5. make sure the hook works
```
$ ubuntu-drivers list
nvidia-driver-510, (kernel modules provided by nvidia-dkms-510)
oem-fix-gfx-nvidia-ondemandmode
libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom
oem-somerville-cinccino-meta
[ Where problems could occur ]
* This feature only impact target system has a custom file
"/etc/custom_supported_gpus.json". And it won't generate automatically
which should not impact normal users
