With any SRU, it's important not to break existing users, so we can't rely on users upgrading the kernel along with systemd; it needs to continue to work without breaking if they upgrade systemd, but choose not to upgrade the kernel.
In focal since it's only adding new entries, there should be no breakage, and in impish since it's not released yet we don't need to worry about any 'existing' users, but in hirsute it does appear we need to keep the current entries, and just add the new sku-based entries as well, unless there's a specific reason that the existing entry lines should be removed in hirsute (i.e. if the existing lines actually *cause* a problem, instead of simply not covering all hardware).

[Impact] * This fixes unwanted rotations on certain Dell clamshell laptop models with accelerometer. [Test Plan] * On Dell laptops with model SKU 0A3E or 0E0E, install this package and kernel 5.13, or kernel with this patch backported: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=e26f023e01ef26b4138bc1099af309bdc4523d23 * Rotate the laptop and the display should not be rotated. [Where problems could occur] * This is to add parameters for certain models in hwdb, and does not affect any other part of systemd. * This fix would only take effect with kernel 5.13 or the above patch backported. [scope] this is needed for all releases this is being fixed upstream by https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/20314 [Other info] * The patch mentioned above is going to have a separated SRU for linux-oem-5.10 and linux-hwe-5.11 (LP: #1938143) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1938259/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
