Right. Don't assume that "b has been done" means that "a has been done"
even if you think that one implies the other.

I didn't look at the relevant commits, but:
- Perhaps it's from spec sheets/docs.
- Perhaps it's ported from another OS.
- Perhaps they're required parts before other work can be done.
- Perhaps it boots partially in conjunction with other work that can't
be committed yet.

Release notes are mostly not written by the person doing the work but
by someone going through commit logs and deciding what to put in.
Also this may be useful information for someone tracking what work has
been done on the platform.
If/when rpi5 works expect a clear indication in release notes and on
arm64.html rather than "x little bit of rpi5 supported".
