Remove the -dev subpackages of kernels that replace the linux-headers
package. As I understand, the only case where this would make sense is
if you wanted to build a kernel module against headers that need to be
newer than the headers in Alpine's linux-headers package (currently
5.19.5).
While this might have been historically relevant when wireguard wasn't
in the kernel and you might have needed newer linux-headers to build
the module, it seems irrelevant today. If somebody should need this in
the future, then bring it back properly / consider getting the
linux-headers package in Alpine upgraded. Right now the -dev packages
are broken in several ways:
* Use of unversioned provides= (pma#1766)
* Don't contain binaries needed to build binary packages (pma#462).
This was worked around in 6aba5f ("Package kernel-scripts
separately"), but later this didn't build anymore and we removed it.
So in short: broken and unused, drop them.
RootFS cannot be flashed on this devices since Samsung uses a different sparse format.
Enable this in the deviceinfo file to allow flashing the rootFS.

Additionally switch mainline kernel from qcom_fg to bq27xxx_battery_i2c.
While at it simplify the deviceinfo_modules_initfs_alpine list to
exclude implicit dependencies that mkinitfs can find itself to make the
line length a bit less unwieldy.

Additionally switch mainline kernel from qcom_fg to bq27xxx_battery_i2c
and probe the correct panel driver, this was a regression that came from
the initial linux-edge enablement MR.

While this provides the ability to use ModemManager, there are quite a
lot of issues with the driver still; keep it enabled in kernel for now
and let users "modprobe ipa" if they want to test modem features
whichever side effects that may cause including:
- Making the device nearly impossible to poweroff or reboot
- Making the UI lag noticeably more due to some interconnect bandwidth
issues

The qca (Bluetooth) and qcom (non-zap GPU) firmware blobs don't need to
be signed by the OEM, so let's use upstream versions to benefit from
fixes and updates done there.
The soc-qcom-sdm845* packages are mostly sufficient, but there are a few
issues that all MSM8998 devices on mainline will face, so include
workarounds for them in a generic package all device pkgs can depend on.
Kernel doesn't compile anymore, and it doesn't seem worth fixing it
again. The kernel has been added in 2017 as a stock mainline kernel from
that time with only two patches and wasn't maintained since then,
looking at git log --follow it was only patched to fix it up when
it didn't build.
As the device is a generic x86_64 tablet: if somebody has that
particular device, try to get the generic device-tablet-x64uefi running
instead.
Patch header for 0027 was not formatted correctly. Fix that and
re-generate all other patches while we are at it.

Also:
Fix camera on google-snow.
Enable video decoder.
Make boot.img smaller making kernel more modular and making FS-related
modules =y instead of =m (built-in file systems consume less space
than initramfs modules).
Reverts commit 70efe55031 for kernels that
started failing on bpo. I suspect it's caused by a change in binutils,
since I tried building linux-oneplus-billie2 with gcc6 and got the same
error (after trying other workarounds like disabling selinux for it, but
then it failed elsewhere).
