Squeekboard is going to replace virtboard in Phosh. However, it requires
Rust which hasn't yet been packaged on Alpine Linux for aarch64. So for
now, keep virtboard as the default (it still works fine) and update it
to the latest commit (see follow-up patch), but also introduce
squeekboard so we can test it and eventually enabled it for aarch64 and
replace virtboard.
Also fix a few spaces->tabs issues while we're at it.
Should result in the exact same commit being download as before, the
checksum is different because GitHub puts the commit instead of the
branch name into the archive.

Currently we rely on the fact, that the kernel asks user space to load
the firmware for it, so we can use the /lib/firmware/postmarketos
directory for firmware.
As the kernel has support for loading the firmware itself since
v3.7, and the parameter for adding an additional path to the search
paths was added with v3.10, we can use that to not rely on
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER being set.
Update to the 5.2 kernel plus my patches for the Nexus 5 display that
will also work for other msm8974-based systems:
https://github.com/masneyb/linux/commits/v5.2-nexus5-display. There's
currently 25 extra patches on top of 5.2:
- The first 9 patches after the 5.2 commit are currently in 5.3rc1 and
were back ported to 5.2. All of these patches have 'Commit XXX
upstream.' messages in the commit message.
- The next 9 patches are for ocmem support and some msm display fixes. I
expect that these will be merged upstream for 5.4rc1.
- The remaining 7 patches are still not suitable to send upstream.

Latest version from Alpine. I've checked that we can still compile
packages for armhf after this update, in other words that we don't get
a regression related to the triplet change like in #295.
- OTG support
- Charger
- WiFi 5GHz
- RTC bug "fixed" (always-on interrupt - made device overheat!)
- Kernel version bumped to 5.2.1
- Memory timings
- New WM8994 codec board driver (fixes suspend/resume)
- Camera's regulator supported now (saves power at least!)
- Updated panel driver (still not in mainline, idk why)
- MHL support in kernel (fixes boot times and screen, currently disabled in X,
not tested)
- Other minor kernel chagnes

The wallpaper has been broken, since we intentionally removed the N900
specific wallpaper from the postmarketos-wallpapers package. Just use
the default wallpaper, and tell feh to scale it nicely.
