[fedora-arm] Re: Issues with RPi4 and newer kernels

Adding arm@lists.fedoraproject.org back as it was dropped at some point.

We use a primarily upstream linus kernel, we've never had reports from
users of key things like this, and I've never seen it in my own
testing, so I would be interested in your usecase/configuration.

To some degree report bugs is helping because it means we can fix it
for all Fedora users, even if your coding ends up fixing it, because
it means we can ensure the fixes are in place for all users, not just
a single user, I feel that's a productive approach hence the request
for bug reports :-)
