[Where problems could occur] * Systems with devices managed by the ice driver on Bionic HWE kernel from Focal. * The firmware enables advanced features, increasing driver exposure and device activity. * This has been available on Focal, which helps with some chance of issues being hit and reported previously (e.g. bug 1939855, searched for 'kernel ice driver' on bugs.lp.net).
