Public bug reported:

[ Impact ]

With the release of Ubuntu 25.04 (Plucky) we support new RISC-V
hardware:

* Pine64 Star64
* DeepComputing FML13V01

In the 25.10 cycle we will upgraded the ISA from RVA20 to presumably
RVA23. This implies that hardware that is not RVA23 compliant will only
be supported on 24.04 in the long term.

We therefore need to backport the hardware support to 24.04. This
includes:

* U-Boot
* Kernel 6.14

With this SRU we will backport U-Boot 2025.01-3 to Noble.

[ Test Plan ]

Install the updated U-Boot and check booting on the following boards:

DeepComputing FML13V01
Microchip Icicle Kit
Milk-V Mars
Pine64 Star64
StarFive VisionFive 2
SiFive Unmatched

Check that U-Boot's variable $fdtfile shows the value matching the board.
(With the current U-Boot on Noble this will not work for the FML13V01 and 
Pine64 Star64.)

Check that booting via GRUB into Ubuntu works.

See the descriptions in the Ubuntu manual tests for the respective
boards.

For testing best use preinstalled Plucky images which will have the
matching kernel.

[ Where problems could occur ]

The wrong device-tree might be loaded.

Booting might fail.
