** Description changed:

  Impact
  ======
  
  The current stable release (bionic) does not support booting on the
  Raspberry Pi 4. Several packages need back-porting from devel to support
  this, along with a new kernel.
  
  Test Case
  =========
  
  * Attempt to boot the latest bionic image (18.04.3) on a pi4; note failure
  * Move the SD card to a pi3 and boot successfully
  * Ensure all packages are up to date (apt update/upgrade)
  * sudo add-apt-repository ppa:waveform/pi4
  * sudo apt upgrade
+ * sudo reboot
+ * Ensure boot proceeds successfully on the pi3
+ * Verify facilities (USB peripherals, USB mass storage, wifi, bluetooth, 
audio, etc.) work
  * sudo apt install linux-image-raspi2-hwe-18.04-edge
  * sudo reboot
  * Ensure boot proceeds successfully on the pi3
+ * Verify facilities (USB peripherals, USB mass storage, wifi, bluetooth, 
audio, etc.) work
  * Move the SD card back to the pi4
  * Ensure boot proceeds successfully on the pi4
+ * Verify facilities (USB peripherals, USB mass storage, wifi, bluetooth, 
audio, etc.) work
  * Repeat for both archs (armhf and arm64)
  
  Regression Potential
  ====================
  
  Plenty; pi4 support on bionic requires back-ports of flash-kernel,
- u-boot, linux-firmware-raspi2, and the kernel. Verification of boot, and
- other facilities (USB peripherals, mass storage, free memory, etc. etc.)
- should be performed on both archs and all supported models of pi (2, 3,
- 3A+, 3B+, 4B all memory variants).
+ u-boot, linux-firmware-raspi2, and the kernel. Furthermore, the firmware
+ package needs to support two kernels (the current 4.x series and the
+ proposed 5.x series). Verification of boot, and other facilities (USB
+ peripherals, mass storage, free memory, wifi, etc. etc.) should be
+ performed on both archs and all supported models of pi (2, 3, 3A+, 3B+,
+ 4B all memory variants).
