Initially, these were switched to built-ins as they were included in
the default initramfs, which can have a worse compression ratio
than the kernel itself (e.g. Exynos 4 kernel uses xz for kernel, gzip
(pmbootstrap default) for initramfs).
Since f45319dc, however, these have been moved to initramfs-extra;
as such, they don't get built into the initramfs on devices that use
create_initfs_extra. They are now safe to move to modules - this
lets us save ~2MB on space-constrained devices.

Since non-booting and non-packaged devices were merged into one list, any
device that was listed as booting but wasn't packaged would get detected
as non-booting. That created a loop where to pass CI one would have to set
packaged = yes, which they shouldn't do until the port has actually been
merged, which they can't do unless it passes CI...
Now the section has been split into two sub-sections, thus the non-booting
section is separate once again. This fixes the issue, but we need to tell
the CI script to use that section name.
This effectively reverts commit e9d2ac8021.

The linux-edge kernel enables the BL_SWITCHER kernel option, which enables
an in-kernel big.LITTLE switcher - with it enabled, only 4 cores are enabled
at a time, and the kernel switches between the big and little cores. However,
in a server workload, it's more likely that a user wants all 8 cores to work
simultaneously.
Disable the switcher by default by providing the no_bL_switcher cmdline option.
It can still be re-enabled by writing 1 to /sys/kernel/bL_switcher/active.

GPT paritions seem to interfere with the firmware baked into the SD card image;
both U-Boot and various Linux tools report the GPT partition table as broken
and fall back to the backup table. Notably, this makes the card difficult to
mount in another device. "Fixing" the partition table makes it refuse to boot.
Force the msdos partition type in deviceinfo to fix this.

Viciouss noticed that audio no longer works after the recent changes
to build some things as modules, including the WM8994 driver.
Setting just the MFD bits to =y seems to fix it, so do it to fix audio.
Luckily these are pretty small and don't increase the kernel size much,
and we can still keep the actual sound driver (and thus all the sound
framework parts) compiled as modules.

The kernel-side parts necessary to get jack detection to work have been
merged as part of the 6.10 upgrade; now, update the UCM config to allow
for automatically switching to headphones and headset mic when a cable
is inserted.

- Improved charging on Tab 3 8.0 and Midas boards
- Minor improvements for Tab 3 8.0 (fix home keycode, enable fuel gauge current sensing)
- Fixed#1783
The isorec initramfs is now stores in the exynos4-mainline linux repo
and has been dropped from pmaports.

Use stock WiFi firmware instead of the generic linux-firmware-brcm
firmware. The stock firmware is newer and seems to be better suited
for the BCM4334B2 variant used in these tablets.
This fixes timeout errors from the brcmfmac driver and seems to
slightly improve download/upload speeds (by about 1MB/s).
These appear to be client demos, and are already in _pmb_recommends;
drop them from depends to avoid duplication.

The SSH agent built into gnome-keyring has been disabled by default
in version 46, and replaced by the SSH agent implementation in gcr.
Install the new implementation to provide a graphical SSH agent
for all GNOME-based UIs.
Follow-up to aports!63893, which fixes this upstream and adds this
dependency to the upstream gnome package.
Fixes#2728.

This one has stalled a bit due to some upstream shenanigans,
but is now confirmed to be fine; since it hasn't been merged
yet, add it here manually.

This new package covers all three variants of the tablet: the WiFi
version (SM-T310), the 3G version (SM-T311) and the LTE version
(SM-T315). It uses the linux-postmarketos-exynos4 kernel, like other
mainlined Exynos 4 devices.
- The 3 different variants of the lt01 will be merged into a single
main device package, so the old package is deprecated.
- We will now be using the mainline kernel, so the downstream kernel is
no longer necessary.
- Add a patch to fix a new build error.
The binaries are the same as for the other devices, we just need to add three
new NVRAM TXTs, so add them here since they don't make the package that much
larger.
Notification daemon; provides nice HUD for volume control and allows
Blueman to normally send notifications instead of opening separate
windows (which can get very annoying for frequently-reconnecting
devices).
- Proper WiFi support (building modules, firmware package)
- Architecture change to armv7
- Fix no MAC address on USB networking
