@nosuchthingascloud This is the state of things, non-coherence from a user POV 
as all this is quite scattered and a PITA to manage. For the developers this 
transactional: They do the part they can (or want to) do, but for the whole 
thing to work, its usually several stages. 
In this case: Having a dtb is good. If upstreamed the kernel generally supports 
init on this hardware. Can boot with the devicetree statement in grub (and some 
other mechanisms, like UKI).
Also having the hwids additionally is good. This goes into dtb-loader and/or 
stubble. If merged there, stubblle / dtb-loader can detect booting on this 
hardware and do its magic.
Even if both things are achieved, it needs to be in the Ubuntu tree (on both 
repos) to build a kernel that can boot from this device. And released on a new 
ISO.
My kernels try to achieve at least the kernel part, including stubble. If the 
data is available, and I have "time", the current dt and hwid will be in my 
build repos and actually do the trick. Not a new ISO, though.
