WANT_32BIT:1 WANT_64BIT:0 WANT_PI4:0 WANT_PI5:0 still installs *-v8-16k (and *-v7) kernels

[DougieLawson]

If I run rpi-update on an ancient old Raspberry Pi model 1B it installs the *-v8-16k kernel which is a waste of time and uses SDCard space. [It also installs *-v7 kernels but I don't suppose we can suppress that without adding more code to check for models.]

I'm running rpi-update with the following overrides WANT_32BIT=1 WANT_64BIT=0 WANT_PI4=0 WANT_PI5=0

That gets this log

I thought that WANT_PI5=0 would be enough to suppress the *-v8-16k kernels.

The Pi 5 kernel install may be fallout from the v8_16k+ -> v8-16k+ rename. Can you confirm what has actually been installed in your case (not just mentioned in the log above)?

Here's one thing that needs updating: https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-update/blob/master/rpi-update#L196-L200

I've got

pi@odyssey:/lib/modules$ ls -la
total 20
drwxr-xr-x  5 root root 4096 Jun 25 14:51 .
drwxr-xr-x 94 root root 4096 May  8 08:12 ..
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 Jun 25 14:51 6.6.35+

drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 Jun 25 14:51 6.6.35-v8-16k+
pi@odyssey:/lib/modules$

It only really needs 6.6.35+.
