The SRU team was asked to consider this. We have discussed this amongst
the SRU team.

It is a longstanding policy position of the Ubuntu project that hardware
enablements are only permitted in stable releases if newer releases are
also enabled, to avoid breaking users in hardware support on upgrade.
See:
https://documentation.ubuntu.com/sru/en/latest/reference/requirements/#other-
safe-cases

Therefore, it isn't acceptable to SRU this to Jammy without having the
enablement also performed on all newer still-supported releases.

Dave is correct that this activity should be carried out outside the
main archive until these requirements are met. This helps maintain the
quality of the official Ubuntu archive in respect of user expectations.

We note that src:linux-mtk has already been added since Jammy's release,
but isn't available on any still-supported newer release. This is also
not compliant with our hardware enablement policy. What's the plan
there?
