Bug Description

SCLP Event Type 11 "Control-Program identification"(CPI) provides an interface for the OS to report information about its version to the Support Element (SE). The SE displays this information on the HMC and reports it via call-home to IBM, where it can be used for statistics. The s390-tools package contains a script called "cpictl" that is run during boot to automatically send CPI information to the SE. Currently the information sent is limited to the first levels of the Linux kernel version. There is demand for adding additional information (distro release, more detailed kernel level, etc.). This new data should also be displayed correctly on the HMC.

The plan is to pick this up with the s390-tools version bump to v2.23 (planned for early August).

Looks like I misread the earlier post.
If it's part of 2.20, we'l have it already in jammy and kinetic.
Hence me updating the status (for jammy and kinetic) to Fix Released.
