Bug Description

In bionic and bionic-updates, the linux-raspi2 kernel hasn't received any updates since April 2018 and is based on Linux kernel 4.15, which is now past End of Life. This means it doesn't include the latest security patches and bug fixes. cosmic and cosmic-updates have a newer version of the linux-raspi2 kernel (4.18), but this has also reached End of Life.

The linux-raspi2 kernel should be updated alongside the generic kernels, or should at least be based on a recent LTS version that is still receiving updates.
