Summary0009703: Upgrading to RockyLinux 9.6 on Raspberry Pi 3B breaks /boot
Description(This is my first report here, so hopefully I did this right)
 
Upon doing a dnf update on my Raspberry Pi 3B, the system does not initialize after a reboot. I've come to find out that the files for the bootcode.bin and start.elf are placed within the /boot/efi directory instead of the /boot directory. The Pi's hardware doesn't search that directory to boot (on this older model I think), and as such, "bricks" the system until you take the card to a computer and move the files out of that directory and back into /boot.

I think the affected package(s) is either raspberrypi2-kernel4-6.1.31-v8.1.el9.altarch.aarch64, kernel-rpi-firmware, or raspberrypi2-kernel4. I'm not 100% sure.
Steps To Reproduce1. Boot Raspberry Pi 3B
2. dnf update
3. Reboot Raspberry Pi 3B after update
