We could enable more "uefi-ish" features on this kernel to keep it closer to generic configs, but they are of little to no value for most of our users. I.e. PLATFORM_KERYING, LOCK_DOWN_IN_SECURE_BOOT.

CONFIG_RESET_RASPBERRYPI is not set on raspi-nolpae flavour, and I don't know for sure why not. (edit: nolpae is for rpi23 only thus no need for rpi4-only driver)

Some raspi patchseries are reverted, maybe we should ask them to drop them.

Some raspi patches should be upstreamd - for example poweroff_halt & zswap patches are cute and generally useful everywhere.

Somehow src:linux-raspi .deb compression is xz instead of the expected zstd. Which is inherited from master kernel, will follow up on that.

somewhat expect virtio drivers to be promoted from modules-extra to modules. It would be nice, if one could boot stock rpi image in qemu locally (albeit not using regular boot methods). But i guess need to evaluate if carrying virtio drivers in our default initrd is worth it. Maybe not.

rpi-5.13 dropped rpi-fan module, yet we still carry it in impish.

Otherwise, packaging looks sane; rebase looks sane; diffs look sane.
