Replace the old downstream port with a new aarch64 port running the
linux-postmarketos-qcom-msm8916 close-to-mainline(TM) kernel.
Most of the functionality is working:
- USB Network
- Storage (eMMC, SD card)
- Display, brightness control
- Touchscreen, buttons
- IMU (accelerometer+gyroscope)
- Notification LED
- Sound (Speaker, Headphones, Microphones)
- WiFi, Bluetooth
- Modem (SMS, voice calls, mobile data)
Coming soon (hopefully): Battery/Charging, USB-OTG (not working yet)
There are many variants of the device, so more changes to handle
differences between them may be needed in the future. For now,
the only relevant difference is the required modem firmware:
- wt88047 (global variant)
- wt86047 (China variant)
... have different kind of modems and they do not seem to work with
the firmware of the other one. The way this is handled in this device
package is that there is a separate kernel variant for both of them.
All other required firmware can be shared, and therefore there is no
differentiation needed when using the kernel variant without modem.
I renamed "wingtech-wt88047" to "xiaomi-wt88047".
My reasoning for that is the following:
- Wingtech is the ODM (original design manufacturer), they designed the
hardware and (probably) manufactured it. But postmarketOS port applies
to the combination of both hardware and firmware, and the firmware was
at least partially provided by Xiaomi.
- wt88047 looks lonely with the "wingtech" vendor, when all other Xiaomi
devices use "xiaomi", even though many from them were probably also
designed by Wingtech.
- We don't use the ODM hardware name for other devices either, e.g.
"wileyfox-crackling" would be "longcheer-l8150" with the same approach.
I think the port is better visible as "xiaomi-wt88047" (too bad Xiaomi
seemingly did not have a proper codename for this device...)
In preparation for adding mainline device port for Xiaomi Redmi 2
(wt88047), remove the downstream device port. It's still armhf
which makes it clear that it hasn't been tested for a long time.
The mainline port has many more features, also it is aarch64, which
is not compatible with the downstream kernel.
device-motorola-ocean: Add support for both downstream and mainline
kernel
device-motorola-ocean: Update dependency for downstream kernel
The dependency mentioned is wcnss-wlan.

Device package changes:
- Replace ALSA configs with dependency (soc-sprd-audio-sc8830)
- Add reboot-mode as dependency
Kernel package changes:
- Use dtbtool-sprd instead of dtbtool
- Move code and device tree to external repo
- Add patch for GCC10
- Add patches for framebuffer
- E1565 is original "grouper" and it's for modern devices similar to
tilapia
- PM269 is earlier produced Nexuses with different PMIC (not very often
seen)

This patch adds basic support for the Samsung Galaxy Tab E 9.6" (SM-T560).
Current status: Kernel builds successfully, flashing boot.img works along with ssh.
Update to Linux 5.8 and bring some nice improvements:
* Use geni for touch instead of CPU driven bitbang, this gives
noticeable performance gains in phosh when scrolling.
* Enable bluetooth (using firmware in updated firmware package), was
able to test bluetooth audio with bluetoothctl but phosh UI shows no
Bluetooth adapter.
* Add testing battery node using bq27541, battery always reported being
plugged in and at 100%.
* Fix UFS error spam due to a bug where writeboost is enabled for all
qcom devices - even though it isn't supported.
* Add quirk to wifi device to fix host capability request rather than
the dodgy driver edit that was used before.
* Minimise .config size to improve build times.
* Make schedutil the default governer
* Fix power button
Remove _downstream, _mainline in deviceinfo as there is only the
mainline kernel now. Fixup taken from a comment by Richard Qian in the
initial device port merge request. I've verified that the device package
builds. [ci:skip-build]
Fixes: 949effc0 ("acer-picasso: new device (Acer Iconia Tab A500) (MR 1308)")
Alpine's abuild is soon going to complain if an APKBUILD has more than
one "Maintainer:" listed. Work around it by renaming the additional
maintainers to "Co-Maintainer:". While at it, move the devicepkg reference
link to the top in device-xiaomi-santoni for consistency.
In postmarketOS, we require at least two maintainers for devices in
main, therefore it does not make sense to drop additional maintainers
from the file.
In Alpine, this change was made because pkgs.alpinelinux.org apparently
can't handle more than one maintainer. I looked into it, and it would
require a database change to add it there, so it does not seem worth the
effort. I also thought about extending abuild to add an environment
variable to skip the check, but then the package would not build with
plain abuild without using the env var.
