Public bug reported:
When we have a testing kernel between releases in following version
string format "6.8.0-1006.2+testing20240708-2-flavor", flash-kernel
fails to detect this newly installed kernel even though it has correct
flavor suffix at the end of version string.
After a bit of skimming in the source code, I found the flavor detection
logic in `include_only_flavors` function:
```
include_only_flavors() {
# include_only_flavors(flav1, flav2, flav3)
# filter lines of input in uname -r format (X.Y.Z-N-flavor)
# and filter-out anything that is not in the listed input
# if the only flavor given is "any", then assume everything is a
match
local cur_uname cur_flav allowed_flav
while read cur_uname; do
if [ "$*" = "any" ]; then
echo "$cur_uname"
else
# could use cur_flav=$(get_kfile_suffix "$cur_uname")
# but this is much faster.
cur_flav=${cur_uname#*-*-}
for allowed_flav in "$@"; do
if [ "${cur_flav}" = "${allowed_flav}" ]; then
echo "$cur_uname"
break
fi
done
fi
done
}
```
As you see above, this detection logic has a wrong assumptions about the
version string, but in fact the commented out alternative
`get_kfile_suffix` works with the use cases like we have.
