Description ddbr was failing on a recent jammy build. The issue is that lsblk output has changed sometime since this script was written. The logic to parse out the $runfrom drive was returning duplicate info, so instead of 'mmcblk0' the value was 'mmcblk0 mmcblk0' Having this duplicate value was causing an error further down the script. Fix is to add ' | sort | uniq' this was already being done on the other lsblk outputs, just not this one. I've run into this before, and I guess at that time, I forgot to submit a PR for the fix, or it was for a different script that had the same issue.

Description The user idubrov reported on forums and discord that the current and edge images are not bootable from sdcard as mmc driver fails to probe due to regulator not being available. This is a regression that happened due to switching from bigtreetech provided axp313a driver to mainline axp313a driver. Updating regulator node name in dts apparently makes it work with the upstream driver as tested by the user. I have also noticed that CI was not covering current and edge kernel for this board. I have enabled the same to make sure we will be aware of such issues in the future. How Has This Been Tested? Please describe the tests that you ran to verify your changes.

Solution is to remove the files being replaced in a preinst step This also necessitated using the standard armbian extlinux.conf file as installing a custom one would result in the extlinux.conf file being replaced (without the append line being added, thus making the box unbootable after upgrade) Jira reference number [AR-9999] How Has This Been Tested?
