The current OOTB Gstreamer experience on Gnome DEs can be disappointing as
a lot of default codecs and elements are missing. This is often not obvious
for users as Gst in various cases has less optimal fallbacks, easily leaving
the impression that either an app, drivers or hardware are at fault.
Add the most important packages to pmb_recommends so users have a better time.
Notes:
- Many images already ship ffmpeg-libavcodec, so this shouldn't worsen the
legal situation.
- '-bad' is usually already pulled in indirectly while '-good' at least for
GS variants is already required. Both are strongly recommended for apps
like Showtime, Snapshot and many more mobile-friendly apps from the
ecosystem.
- '-bad' really isn't bad any more these days and various elements in it
are used by default if available. That is, many elements there should have
long moved to '-good'.
This was done in 7 steps:
* prepare by running pmbootstrap kconfig migrate
* fix up kconfig category:uefi
* fix up kconfig category:zram
* fix up kconfig category:default
* fix up kconfig category:default (NULL_TTY)
* fix up kconfig category:input
* bump pkgrels

The null TTY driver provides a proper (dummy) TTY interface when
console=null is set on the kernel cmdline. This fixes certain
applications which don't correctly handle read() immediately returning
with 0 bytes (e.g. busybox syslogd).
Most normal EFI devices don't boot with console=null and as such there
are various foot-guns littered all over Linux userspace and even in our
own initramfs. However some android devices even enforce console=null,
so it's something we have to deal with.
NULL_TTY should reduce the chance of folks running into strange problems
because of this.

The Xfce4 power manager can control the display brightness. It doesn't
save and restore it over boots, however. In distributions with systemd
this is handled by "systemd-backlight@.service". For OpenRC the package
brightnessctl offers a service saving the state of the brightness at
shutdown and reboot.
As brightnessctl is a rather simple tool and not specifically adapted to
Xfce4, it can get confused when the power manager e.g. lowers the display
brightness when on idle. To avoid such a hassle, the display power settings
were simplifyed in repository "xfce4-phone" version 0.5.3 (and needed a
correction in version 0.5.4). Users nonetheless can change them if desired.
The package was named tinydm instead of tinydm-systemd accidentally.
This will cause tinydm-start-session to vanish after upgrading,
completely breaking booting into any GUI that depends on tinydm.
(only systemd installations are affected)
when stdin is /dev/null (e.g. when console=null is on the kernel
cmdline) syslogd will call read() over and over and never handle the
SIGTERM we send it, pinning a CPU core on every boot.
Hooking up syslogd std I/O to /dev/zero prevents this.

This new version includes initial support for systemd (for bluetooth
only atm). udev rules are only installed for openrc systems, bt config
on systemd was replaced by a unit file and using bootmac for wifi has
issues (https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/bootmac/-/issues/7)

Somehow enabling in-kernel PD mapper (introduced in 5b9f51b200dcb
"remoteproc: qcom: enable in-kernel PD mapper"), breaks the bottom mic
on xiaomi-beryllium (Poco F1) and distorts audio on OP6 (and possibly
OP6T). Temporarily disable it until the issue is resolved upstream.
Previously, the module's was modified to disable the in-kernel PD
mapper. This modification was a hack. Instead, modify the config so that
the in-kernel PD mapper is not built in the first place, which achieves
the same result.

This tool is similar to msm-firmware-loader or droid-juicer, except it
copies firmware from Windows instead.
Currently when the ADSP loads the new firmware it causes a usb reset
which breaks booting from USB. For now ask people to run this manually
and ensure the adsp firmware isn't available on the USB.

Extend existing X1 Elite support with the modules needed to bring up the
Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x.
We could use the EFI framebuffer in the initramfs, however the
regulators are turned off before we get there so it goes blank. Pull in
all the bits for proper display/panel support.
