Public bug reported:

Please sync rocprim 5.7.1-2 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

This sync requires a FeatureFreeze exception. This package version
requires rocm-hipamd 5.7.1, which is being tracked in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rocm-hipamd/+bug/2058606.

# Why a new upstream version is necessary

1. The upstream ROCm 5.7.1 version was the last release of the ROCm 5
series. While both ROCm 5.5 and ROCm 5.7 are no longer supported
upstream, there will be a much larger community using ROCm 5.7.
Knowledge sharing within this larger community will be beneficial for
the long-term maintenance of the noble release.

2. The versions of ROCm components included on Ubuntu Noble are very
inconsistent. This FeatureFreeze exception is one of several that I will
be filing in an attempt to get as much of the ROCm stack as possible
onto the upstream 5.7.1 release. The narrower the range of versions, the
better. Ubuntu does not have significant automated testing for the AMD
GPU libraries, so it is safer to use versions that closely correspond to
what upstream and Debian are using (as both do significant testing on
these libraries).

Honestly, the changes to the Debian packaging from this sync are more
valuable than the upstream changes in rocprim. The debian patches fix
rocthrust, hipcub and rocsparse on Navi 22, Navi 23, Navi 24, and
Rembrandt hardware. Still, I would still strongly recommend the upgrade
to get the entire ROCm stack onto the same version.

# Other Notes

The build log (using rocm-hipamd 5.7.1-3) is attached and includes the
build tests. The upstream change log is also attached.
