[Pkg-raspi-maintainers] Bug#976114: python3-rpi.gpio: does not work on RPI 4 (with Debian kernel)

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Package: python3-rpi.gpio
Version: 0.7.0-0.2
Severity: important

Hi,

RPi.GPIO does not work on the RPI 4 with the Debian kernel (not the
raspberry pi unofficial kernel). The auto-detection of the RPI model
fails. This is tracked in upstream bug
https://sourceforge.net/p/raspberry-gpio-python/tickets/191/

This is just a bug to ensure that this is tracked on the Debian side. I
suppose it will be resolved upstream.
