Description

The Ubuntu 20.04 release will be based on the upstream Linux 5.4 kernel. We want to make the experience for Raspberry Pi users to be as positive as possible. Therefore we are interested in any Raspberry Pi commits going into the 5.5 and 5.6 Linux kernels which we will consider backporting to our 20.04 Ubuntu kernel.
