** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
+ * The bionic release currently cannot boot on certain pi models (3B+, CM3+)
due to outdated firmware.
+ * This is fixed in the disco and eoan releases with firmware revision
20190215, however it would be nice to enable booting on these platforms for the
current LTS release.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ * Attempt to boot the current bionic release on a CM3+; it never gets past
the rainbow screen.
+ * Flash same image onto a CM3; it boots successfully.
+ * Upgrade linux-firmware-raspi2 to the proposed revision. Reboot to ensure
CM3 still boots successfully.
+ * dd image onto CM3+
+ * CM3+ should now boot successfully.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ * Minimal regression potential; I've tested the updated firmware with
+ bionic on a 3B, 3B+, CM3, and CM3+ (to ensure it fixes the issue on the
+ plus platforms, and doesn't regress on the others). All boot
+ successfully with the updated firmware.
+
+ [Other Info]
+
+ * Tested with built package (linux-firmware-raspi2 1.20190215-0ubuntu4) in
https://launchpad.net/~waveform/+archive/ubuntu/pkg
+ * I can attach a debdiff if required, but I'm not sure how useful it'll be
given that the important changes are simply updated binary blobs.
+ * This is not the very latest firmware available from the
github.com/raspberrypi/firmware repo (the very latest includes support for the
pi4), but this is intentional (issues have been discovered when testing with
the very latest firmware).
+
+
+ Original description:
+
A new raspberry pi (the 3 B+) was released in March 2018. To enable
this to boot the firmware needs updating to the latest version.
