I'm having an issue related to lacking support for thunderbolt lane bonding which I reckon is fixed in kernel 5.5, is there any way of knowing when that'll be available in 20.04?

If possible I'd like to not have to mess around with installing mainline kernel version and going outside to regular update process

The first HWE kernel will ship with Ubuntu 20.04.2, currently no date for that is available (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseSchedule) but it'll occur after 20.10's release as it'll be 19.10's kernel that gets used.
Ubuntu 20.10 is scheduled to be released 22-October-2020 (https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/groovy-gorilla-release-schedule/15531) so it'll be after that.
