Force partition resizing as we are installing to sdcard.
Add an x11 config snippet to have cloned displays. This
will help non-specialized UIs to be usable by having the
same picture for both eyes. Seeing totally different things
on both eyes is a nightmare.

I have kobo-clarahd and tolino-shine2hd.
kobo-clarahd uses the same board as tolino-shine3, but another
pin-compatible but not software-compatible SoC is installed
tolino-shine2hd uses the same SoC as the tolino-shine3.
So if things are working on both of the devices, it is almost
safe to assume that they will also work on the tolino-shine3.
Based on that assumption add me as a maintainer.

Disable GPT to be able to chainload stuff on uSD from vendor u-boot on
internal eMMC. The vendor u-boot does not support GPT.
If booting is done by reprogramming the boot order or zeroing internal
bootloader, GPT is no problem.

Bootloader needs to be at 0x400 for IMX6 devices. That is ignored by
pmbootstrap which places the GPT header there. Revert to msdos partition
table style to workaround that bug.
Improve config
Add charger support
Unfortunately some stuff is still stuck in the LKML review process which
might have side effects on other devices.

Currently it requries the check_code result check in the
vendor uboot to be disabled as explained in the wiki.
Booting directly via reconfigured boot order still
does not work. It hangs somewhere in the kernel.
Firmware for Wifi/BT is not included yet.
It could use the linux-postmarketos-omap kernel in the future,
but there are still some dirty things in there e.g. for sound
which are not suitable for a multi-device kernel.

For now, limited support without graphics. Graphics
support would need messing and detecting board variants.
especially since Rev B seems to need a vcom setting per batch.

Near-mainline kernel is feature-complete since quite some time, so lets
use that as a default also to simplify boot process, since downstream kernel
depends on various blobs loaded into memory by the bootloader.
Get rid of quirks required in boot process for mainline kernels
also by using a near-mainline u-boot.
Prepare for handling rev b devices.
Keep Downstream kernel to be able to optimize/compare EPD operation
Add most config options for pmbootstrap kconfig check --community
CONFIG_SMP is left out since we have no mulitprocessor systems
using this kernel.

6.1 was not a valid kernel version causing the wlan module installed
into wrong location. 6.1.0 would be correct. Fix that
problem by upgrading to 6.1.12 and make the wlan installation
more robust.

Add the firmware for the CyberTan WC121.
Configuration is added in the newest firmware-linux release, so
complete support will appear in the corresponding Alpine package soon.

Basic support for the Kobo Libra H2O ebook reader.
Waveform handling shares the same oddities as for the Kobo Clara HD, the
existing waveform from eMMC is used.
Preferred way to install is to export the eMMC as USB Mass storage,
backing it up, and installing there.
U-Boot is a more recent one than the factory u-boot, supporting easy
access for buttons/LEDs. Pressing PageUp while powering on gives you the
possibility to enable USB mass storage mode to restore your backup.
Kernel is the near mainline kernel also used by the Kobo Clara HD.
It lacks some devicetree additions which are planned for the next
update, but basic things like buttons, usb, serial and wifi are
supported.
Mesa behaves again, #1658 is fixed, so lets re-revert MR 3306.
Lets also add the dependency to the other devices using the same
graphics driver.

- silence the wifi a bit, it really provides an enormous amout of spam
- enable pxp mem2mem video converter

Having mesa-dri-gallium installed causes Xorg to crash. See #1658.
Furthermore, display works without at least with near-mainline kernel,
tested with osk-sdl and xfce4.
So if specific applications depend on it, it should be added as a
dependency there.
This reverts MR 3306
This is just a hotfix, Xorg/mesa should be tamed to not crash here
but analyzing that costs time.
There is no need to duplicate things over and over again.
Also load the waveform in initramfs before loading display
modules. That is early enough to have a working display in
initramfs.
Basic support for the Tolino Shine 3 ebook reader. It is the same board as
the Kobo Clara HD.
Waveform handling shares the same oddities as for the Kobo Clara HD
but the file epdc_E060SCM.fw from the IMX6SL BSP from NXP does also work.
The existing waveform from SD card is used.
Preferred way to install is to clone the internal SD, keeping the original
as a backup, install on that clone.
U-Boot is a more recent one than the factory u-boot, so devicetrees are nicely
supported. Kernel is the near mainline kernel also used by the Kobo Clara HD.
Do not fiddle with a compiled .a file from the vendor, rather
ignore it and add functional equivalent sources.

Uses now DRM variant of EPDC driver. Updates will work automatically
without using special APIs.
Note:
/sys/class/graphics/fbcon/cursor_blink should probably be set to zero
to avoid battery draining if text console is displayed
