Newer Qualcomm SoCs (e.g. SDM845. MSM8953) seem to use a different
method to talk to the modem. There are no longer separate rpmsg/SMD
channels for QMI messags, instead the modem is also available through QRTR.
On these newer SoCs, installing msm-modem-mainline is pointless,
because the created /dev/modem device will not actually allow
communicating with the modem. However, you still need the part from
the base package (msm-modem), which installs+enables rmtfs.
To avoid confusion, rename the msm-modem-mainline subpackage to
msm-modem-rpmsg. Install only "msm-modem" on SDM845 because that
likely does not allow communication with the modem through RPMSG
anyway.
This upgrades the librem5-base config used to v21:
- better headphone support/detection
- enable runtime PM for usb/SD interface
This also removes the modemmanager subpackage, the udev rule that was
installed by that package is now in modemmanager in Alpine.
This upgrade includes:
1) enabling fb in deviceinfo: This was previously disabled for
debugging purposes, but can be re-enabled now so we get the
awesome postmarketOS splash screen!
2) fixing GPS, kinda: the device has changed, so this fixes the gpsd
config to use the correct device, and includes a udev rule to
make sure the device is owned by a group that gpsd can use
3) usbnet working with configfs
4) disables getty on /dev/ttyGS0, this was usb serial but isn't
configured now that this uses configfs
5) uses Mesa from Alpine, instead of mesa-git in pmaports. Upstream
Mesa has support for the vivante gpu, and no longer need to rely
on mesa master branch for support.
6) fix pulseaudio detection of profiles
7) update the librem5-base version used, includes a udev rule to
configure DDR freq governor as 'powersave' (reduces power, and
how much heat this thing puts out)

Put virtual keyboard style into a subpackage, and let the main package
depend on it. That way, it can be used in postmarketos-ondev, without
pulling in all of plasma-phone-components.
In the Linux kernel, the ST-Ericsson NovaThor U8500 SoC is barely
ever mentioned under the "NovaThor" name, more common are names like
U8500, Ux500, ST-Ericsson, STE, ...
Let's rename the kernel package to linux-postmarketos-stericsson
to make that more clear. Also cleanup the APKBUILD a bit while we're
at it, HOSTCC is unneeded, remove unnecessary depends, ...
We cannot have two of them at the same time, most compiler would fail here
but for some reason our didn't.
However, it's better to just use one (the new one, or the old one). Enable
CONFIG_RTL8723CS_NEW, which is the new driver that made it to pine64
kernel since 5.5.

We should disable it by default and let the user to enable it
when they want it.
And currently it's causing problems where the backlight would
go very dark with it enabled on PinePhone.

bq-paella allows running unsigned firmware from other devices.
We can use that advantage to replace some of the original firmware
with newer versions from other devices. The DB410c has updated WCNSS
firmware that reportedly improves WiFi/BT coexistence (i.e. behavior
when both WiFi/BT are active at the same time).
Depend on the virtual "firmware-qcom-msm8916-wcnss" package to give
the user the choice which firmware version they would like to run.
The newer version from "firmware-qcom-db410c-wcnss" is installed by
default (since it has a higher "provider_priority"), but the user
can choose to replace it by running "apk add firmware-bq-picmt-wcnss".
- Set fixed commit in "source" line to avoid future problems if some
change is pushed to the repository
- Add pmb:cross-native to build natively since these are just a few
copy operations
- Remove some unneeded `cd "$srcdir"` lines
- Avoid installing venus.mbn since this is just a combined version of
venus.mdt + venus.b*
- Split -wcnss subpackage into -wcnss and -wcnss-nv to allow replacing
the WCNSS firmware with a newer version from firmware-qcom-db410c
- Provide "firmware-qcom-msm8916-wcnss" to still allow switching to
the original firmware if wanted
- Install only WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin for aarch64 since the other
configuration files are only needed for downstream (armv7)
The WCNSS firmware from DB410c is also useful for other devices
that can run unsigned firmware (e.g. bq-paella) because it is newer
and reportedly has some WiFi/BT coexistence problems fixed.
To allow easy switching betwen the original firmware from the manufacturer
(firmware-bq-picmt-wcnss) and the newer firmware (firmware-qcom-db410c-wcnss)
we make both packages provide a virtual "firmware-qcom-msm8916-wcnss"
package. The newer version from firmware-qcom-db410c gets a higher
provider_priority so it is installed by default.
However, the user can choose to do "apk add firmware-bq-picmt-wcnss"
to get the original firmware from the manufacturer instead.
This release gets rid of the hacks needed for out-of-tree modules in the
previous version of calamares.
