* move msm-fb-refresher dependency to downstream kernel package,
it is useless on mainline
* disable msm-fb-refresher service when using libhybris
adaptation, it is only required for downstream kernel *without*
libhybris. It interferes with qcom kgsl-adreno driver badly
(causes screen flickering)
* set CPU governor to conservative on system startup (it lowers
CPU frequency in idle state from initial 2.4 Ghz to 300 MHz)
* add hybris_pulse subpackage that gets installed only when
device-samsung-klte-hybris AND pulseaudio are installed. It
pulls in pulseaudio-modules-droid-7.1-caf and alsa integration
* add system.img symlink to lxc-android installation. With this
you can have Android container successfully running already
at the first boot without need to do it manually. Halium
installation process puts your system.img to /data partition
by default, so follow their recommendation. We can use a
symlink to save some space on /system partition.

The patch set for asus-me176c is really small at this point, and there
is no need to make a new tag for each minor kernel update. Usually the
previous patch set will still apply correctly.
Refactor the APKBUILD to build the kernel similar to linux-lts in Alpine,
and use the original kernel tarball together with a small patch file on top.
Also enable Android-related options in the kernel so we can test
Anbox on asus-me176c.
The Wileyfox Swift is the only mainline MSM8916 device using QCDT
at the moment. The other devices do not have unique qcom,board-ids
that could be used within QCDT.
So far this has worked fine for the Wileyfox Swift. However,
in preparation to *optionally* load the modem we now need two separate
pairs of DTBs (one with modem and one without modem). This is simple
to implement using appended DTBs, but not possible with QCDT.
So let's stop using QCDT entirely for mainline,
and use appended DTBs for wileyfox-crackling.
- use mesa-git (until we have functional mesa-grate-git)
Works:
- USB
- WiFi (tested with IWD) + Bluetooth
- Touchscreen
- Phosh rotation (rootston.ini)
- IIO Light sensor
- NFC
Not works:
- 3D
- GPS
- GSM (tilapia)
- Camera

This enables the out of tree redpine wifi driver currently included in
the Purism kernel that these devices boot.
There's at least one MR @ purism needed before the mainline wifi driver
can be used:

This is based on input from Sebastian Krzyszkowi.
Flash (split) boot partition to the "APD" partition.
It's a rather useless partition with media files for demo purposes.
Perfect for a small(-ish) boot partition with ~300 MB.
This addresses the issue here, but only for the devkit:

I didn't patch the dts for the phone because:
1) I don't have one to test
2) it might negatively impact batter life (I'm only speculating)

Support for the downstream kernel has been removed entirely. This is
because the downstream kernel only has support for the armhf
architecture, whereas linux-postmarketos-qcom-msm8916 is only built
for aarch64. Since pmbootstrap has no way to handle having two
kernels on differing architectures, the decision was made to remove
the downstream kernel and only support mainline.
The Intel graphics in asus-me176c have (incomplete) Vulkan support
in Mesa. Make it possible to use Vulkan by installing the Intel
driver that is necessary for it.
The mesa-dri-intel package is deprecated since it was replaced with
mesa-dri-classic and mesa-dri-gallium. Installing mesa-dri-intel
causes both packages to be installed.
The Intel graphics in asus-me176c are not supported by the new
Gallium "iris" driver, therefore asus-me176c can only use the old
i965 driver available in mesa-dri-classic.
Removing mesa-dri-gallium reduces the disk space needed for a minimal
installation on asus-me176c:
- Before: 329M
- After: 256M (-73M)
