Please unblock package raspi-firmware Upstream release for the Raspberry Pi non-free firmware, needed for booting their systems with Linux [ Reason ] We would like to release Bullseye with the latest firmware, as it often contains bugfixes. The contents of the firmware are opaque to us. [ Impact ] No ill effects would stem from not approving this; we did upload before the current freeze came into effect, but are applying only now because I waited for the needed 20 days. [ Tests ] I have built and tested images with this firmware for all of the Raspberry lineup (0W, 1 using armel; 2 using armhf; 3, 4 and p400 using arm64). [ Risks ] There is the always latent risk when using non-free software that this change might break something. That is true, of course, also of the currently present version. Version 2.20210303 has been used by thousands of users, and no updates have been posted in close to two months by the Raspberry foundation. [ Checklist ] [X] all changes are documented in the d/changelog [ ] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [ ] attach debdiff against the package in testing [ Other info ] Please note that raspi-firmware is in *non-free*. Not attaching debdiff as it is not relevant (i.e. the only nonbinary change is in debian/changelog) I have some pending changes in the Debian packaging side I will upload (and apply for an unblock request, if we make it in time for Bullseye. unblock raspi-firmware/1.20210303+ds-1 -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.7.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
