Bug Description
Trusty through xenial currently have version 5.1.1 of the skiboot source package (producing opal-prd and opal-utils binary packages), while we've had a number of updates since, which introduce compatibility for newer hardware & firmware facilities.
Can we have this updated to a more recent skiboot version?

I've uploaded skiboot 5.1.13 to xenial, trusty, and wily. However, before it can be accepted for SRU into the stable releases, we would need a test plan for validating this update. How will we ensure that the new binary package hasn't regressed anything, vs. the 5.1.1 currently in the release?
The added hardware support is sufficient justification for the SRU, we just need to also be sure that we aren't regressing existing hardware support.
