lafrite has u-boot in SPI already
it also prevents lafrite from booting because pmbootstrap uses GPT partitioning now.

Fixes the problem that BOOT partition is only 10 MB big while boot.img is 13 MB now.
Also heimdall was stuck at 7% with the sparse flag this gets fixed.

As @grimler stated in MR !5887 (comment) [1], samsung-jackpotlte,
samsung-xcover4lte, and samsung-a30 share the same name for Wi-Fi
proprietary blobs, and packaged in their own specific firmware package.
The problem is these firmware packages put files in the same directory
as `firmware-samsung-a51`: /lib/firmware/postmarketos/mx140/. This opens
up the probability of conflicting blobs when multiple firmware packages
are installed on the system, resulting in wrong blobs used.
To ensure that this firmware is located in its own directory, move
`samsung-a51` blobs into its own subdirectory. This way, `a51` blobs
will stay intact whether multiple firmware packages are installed.

Successfully built and booted postmarketOS on Samsung Galaxy A51. It's based on Exynos 9611 SoC.
Currently, these are tested working:
- Boots from internal storage
- Display (DECON driver needs to be patched. Included in the kernel package)
- Framebuffer (additionally with msm-fb-refresher to refresh the screen)
- Touchscreen
- USB Networking (RNDIS)
- Wi-Fi
Tested UI environments: XFCE 4 & Console.

The Linux stable team merged v6.12 into linux-rolling-stable as
of Thursday, so here's a new release.
This release cycle was very quiet with small fixes.
The ttynull driver was enabled in the configuration to fix a bug
where userspace would start with no stdio open.
A patch that made the fuel gauge driver compatible with v6.10
was dropped.
Patches from MSM8916 and MSM8953 were re-picked, to include the change
from strlcpy to strscpy and to remove duplicate q6voice entries in a
Makefile.
Some flashlight and charging patches were staged.
The thermal nodes were sorted by the thermal sensor to match
other platforms.
Bluetooth, camera, call audio, display, USB, I2C, eMMC, modem, video
acceleration, WiFi, haptics, NFC, sensors, and touchscreen should
work and be slightly broken like before.
After commit 8335d050bf24977afefee6612dd347abd555bc53 in pmbootstrap the
partition table now defaults to GPT instead of MBR. This breaks booting
on Amlogic devices for the following reasons:
* On set-top boxes: downstream U-Boot most likely does not have GPT
support
* On boards where we install mainline U-Boot as BL33 on eMMC/SD: the
bootROM checks for an `@AML` image header at offset 512 (second LBA),
which means we are basically stuck on MBR
Some Amlogic boards have U-Boot + the proprietary Amlogic firmware
stages in SPI flash (mainly the Libre Computer boards do), which means
they can use GPT, because the firmware is simply not stored on eMMC/SD.
For that reason I chose not to change the partition table on those.

Merge the following Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime devices into
samsung-fortuna:
- samsung-fortuna3g
- samsung-fortunaltezt (firmware only due to armv7 architecture)
- samsung-gprimeltecan
- samsung-grandprimelte (was samsung-gprimeltexx)
Resolves deadlock between Rockchip crypto hardware and dm-crypt causing
kernel panic during disk decryption on devices like PinePhone Pro.
- Disables RK3399 hardware crypto engine (CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_ROCKCHIP)
- Enables ARM64 CPU crypto extensions for AES/SHA
- Makes core crypto components built-in instead of modules
Fixes: kernel panic in queued_spin_lock_slowpath() when accessing
encrypted devices.

This is a generic kernel for qcom laptops (sc8280xp & x1e), meant to
replace the lenovo-21bx kernel for the x13s.
- Uses johan_defconfig as base, and includes Minecrell's pmos.config
- Adds some extra kconfig for supporting virtualization
As of upower 1.90.5, it is possible to configure upower to not take an action
when the battery capacity is reported as critically low. Since the Nokia N900
now monitors its battery capacity using udev scripts, which is more accurate
than upower's calculation, enable the new ignore feature for the N900.
The bq27200 fuel gauge depends on its battery-backed memory for capacity
reporting. If the supply is off for some time, the fuel gauge's last known
capacity is reset, after which a capacity value can only be read after a
full charge cycle. Thus, most of the time, as used on the Nokia N900, the
reported percentage cannot be relied on for making power-off decisions on
battery low conditions, e.g. through UPower.
However the fuel gauge can very accurately detect and report a low battery
condition internally, even if the reported capacity is incorrect, e.g. when
it has been reset. The low battery condition is reported by the kernel via
capacity_level in sysfs, and also generates uevents.
So we can implement safe battery shutdown by requesting the kernel to more
regularly polling for status changes, then performing an immediate shutdown
when the capacity_level is reported as Low and the device is not charging.
The deviceprofile is now in a tagged sxmo release.
The conky issue will be mentioned in wiki for users to manually disable, until
upstream allows toggling it.
The Google Pixel 3a automatically appends console=null to the command
line. In the kernel, the preferred console is set to ttynull. Since
ttynull is not automatically enabled, a warning is currently emitted:
[ 0.909853] Warning: unable to open an initial console.
This also causes stdin, stdout, and stderr to be missing from the init
process.
In the busybox implementation, syslogd creates the /dev/log socket and
opens /dev/kmsg. This happens just before daemonizing, which opens
/dev/null and aliases stdin, stdout, and stderr to it. After daemonizing
and potentially closing the socket, stdin is aliased to the socket to
save stack memory. If the program starts without stdin under Linux, the
socket gains the constant STDIN_FILENO file descriptor, which is cleared
when daemonizing.
Syscalls when the 0, 1, 2 file descriptors aren't open:
socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_DGRAM, 0) = 0
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/kmsg", O_WRONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 1
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/null", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = 2
Enable the CONFIG_NULL_TTY option and update the configuration to allow
the kernel to open stdin, stdout, and stderr for the init and (by
inheritance) syslogd processes. It's technically an expert option but
isn't enabled by default (and can be enabled in config fragments).
Closes#3269

bq27xxx_battery has a check for status flags in order to detect changes
and report to userspace. However, the cached flags are updated before
checking for changes, hence no flag-related events are ever sent. This
patch fixes this behavior, and has been sent upstream.
