groovy flash-kernel fails on rpi4b 8GB

[Paul Larson]

When running 'sudo flash-kernel' on an 8GB rpi4, it fails with the following error:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo flash-kernel
Unsupported platform.

This only seems to happen on the 8GB model, not 2GB, 4GB, etc.
This is reproducible on both the armhf and the arm64 kernel

flash-kernel:
  Installed: 3.100ubuntu2

Thank you Paul for reporting this! I have forwarded this to Dave and he informed me that this is now fixed in the new flash-kernel (it was already waiting in the Unapproved queue yesterday). Even though it's quite a serious issue, I consider it non-beta-blocking as it can be fixed with an upgrade. It's important for us to have it fixed for final release, which we will.

This is flash-kernel (3.100ubuntu3) of course.

I think this is now fixed in the migrated 3.100ubuntu3.
