Update to F38 since stable is on F38 and also update the u-boot.bin copy step for:

  • use rpi_arm64/u-boot.bin from uboot-tools as recommended by pwhalen because it supports both rpi3 and rpi4.
  • In bcm283x-firmware the default location of the uboot bin file was changed [1].

I marked this as draft for now. There is a VGA console issue I'm still chasing down with @pwhalen. For me the system starts booting up fine but somewhere in the middle of bootup (kernel and systemd messages are flowing) the VGA console cuts out. The system does finish coming up, though, and I can SSH in.

Adding nomodeset to the kernel command line fixes the VGA console dying at some point during boot. Working with the Fedora ARM team to see if there is an underlying bug here that needs fixing.

Update to F39 since stable will be on F39 next week. We have to add in a
`nomodeset` workaround for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2246428

Also update the u-boot.bin copy step for:

- use rpi_arm64/u-boot.bin from uboot-tools as recommended by pwhalen
  because it supports both rpi3 and rpi4.
- In bcm283x-firmware the default location of the uboot bin file was
  changed [1].

ok I just added nomodeset as a workaround in the steps for now. I'm marking this ready for review.
