Bug Description

We are planning to do SRU to systemd in focal, to avoid unwanted screen rotations on some Dell laptop models.

[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)

The old matches might match the same model name but with different form factor, although we are already trying to avoid that confusion by matching chassis type.

Also hirsute kernel is also going to backport the sku patch.

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).

I pushed your commits to f/h/i, can you check to make sure they look ok?

That hirsute change is okay after discussion with our PM.

Other than for h/i the changelog doesn't contain file path (I forgot about it), everything else seems okay to me.

i'll upload this week, so hopefully it can be released next week. The focal point release is this week, so review of the upload may be delayed, but hopefully not much.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-hirsute to verification-done-hirsute. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-hirsute. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

please, next time, test your change before things get into -proposed.
