Some partitions are sparse (DATAFS, FACTORYFS), but the largest
partition, UMS, needs to be non-sparse. DATAFS partition also expects
some special images with a magic header (or something), simply trying
to flash a sparse or non-sparse image to it gives an error from device
bootloader:
```
[ ... ]
erase completed(from 73728 to 90111).
.
mmc_pwrite: partition[6] written successfully.
...set_nps_update_start: set nps start flag successfully.
process_packet: id=102, data=0
process_packet: id=102, data=2
process_packet: id=102, data=3
pda completed: id=11, size=31457280, final=0
Invalid Magic Code! 0x 0
[ ... ]
```
Therefore set UMS as default rootfs partition and create non-sparse
images.

Notable changes are that we switch to zstd module compression, and
enable MODULE_DECOMPRESS=y to let kernel handle decompression, as
busybox modprobe cannot handle zstd.
Also switch non /boot filesystem types to modules, and disable
MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD as it is not really a good idea for non-testing
devices.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/merge_requests/7921>
If $modules is empty, then `modprobe -a` is run which gives an error
with full modprobe (i.e. not busybox variant):
[pmOS-rd]: modprobe: ERROR: missing parameters. See -h.
Add a check and return early to avoid potentially printing the error
to users.

Some notable changes since 6.10.1 are:
- Add support for konawifi (@jack_kekzoz)
- Drop initramfs that we carried in kernel (only exynos4210 devices
needed it, and those can now use u-boot)
- Update config to make kernel a bit smaller (disable some options,

happy

The close-to-mainline u-boot fork can then load linux from boot
partition.
One downside is that it will no longer be possible to flash through
pmbootstrap, since there is no support for flashing arbritrary targets
to arbritrary partitions with pmbootstrap, yet.
Therefore, users will need to manually flash
/usr/share/u-boot/trats/u-boot.bin to the KERNEL partition for i9100
to work after these changes.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/merge_requests/6921>
The downstream port of i9100 does not use u-boot-samsung-i9100, so it
is essentially dead code. Furthermore, this u-boot is ancient, based
on 2012.04-rc1, with backported patches to get ext4 support. It is
hence not really suitable for use with postmarketos.

screen_width and screen_height are only needed for
dev_touchscreen_calibration calculation. We do not need to set
dev_touchscreen_calibration though, as we already ship a custom

to pmaports in the meanwhile.
Fixes issue where allocated, but non-set memory is used, which gives

PostmarketOS now uses ncm instead of rndis, so update script accordingly.
Unfortunately usb networking does not work even after this change when
I test on dream2lte, so this needs further debugging.

If a custom bl1 is used on sdcard, then it should be embedded at
0x200 (512). If a GPT filesystem is used, then the GPT header uses
roughly the first 0x500 bytes, and hence bl1 overwrites part of the
GPT header in that configuration.
Change to msdos partition type so that the filesystem works fine
whether or not we use stock bl1 or custom one.

It is needed by udev, which is in initfs-extra. If libkmod and its
dependencies are put in the first initfs then the boot.img size
increases by roughly 2 MB, which is a problem for devices with small
boot partitions.

To make boot.img smaller. With changes in postmarketos/pmaports#5544
we get a boot.img larger than the boot partition (8 MB). With these
changes we are down to around 7.8 MB, and hence have some margin
again.
Noteable config changes:
* Disable max14577/max77836 stuff, is not used by any Exynos 4 devices
* Disable tps65090 driver and a few SND_SOC options that are only used by Exynos 5 devices
The one we switch to has version 5.90.100.43, while original one has
version 5.90.100.41 (can be checked with: `strings bcmdhd_sta.bin |
tail -n1`). The p4wifi tablet is also using the same blob (but
downloaded from elsewhere).
I believe the blob originates from the msm version of galaxy s2, with
codename "skyrocket". It seems to be the newest blob for brcm4330b1
available. The linux-firmware repo only has a blob for brcm4330b2,
which does not work for i9100.
Unfortunately even with latest available firmware blob mainline linux
still prints errors like:
[ 593.513854] ieee80211 phy1: brcmf_proto_bcdc_query_dcmd: brcmf_proto_bcdc_msg failed w/status -110
[ 593.513926] ieee80211 phy1: brcmf_cfg80211_dump_station: BRCMF_C_GET_ASSOCLIST failed, err=-110
a few times per minute.
Tested on:
* odroid-xu4
* samsung-klimtlte
* samsung-manta
Only regression I spotted is that usb networking no longer works on
samsung-klimtlte and samsung-manta (but wifi works fine, so still
possible to login to the device).
The boot partition on the device is 8.0 MB, while built boot.img is
