- 0004-rk3399-light-pinebook-power-and-standby-leds.patch
- LED support is already upstream. It's not as early as this patch,
but its preferable to align with mainline.
- 0005-support-SPI-flash-boot.patch
- Superceded by f9d67436ce5814ea4e394317ddeaf1dbecb1c36b, in v2020.10
- 0006-implement-boot-menu.patch has four patches
1. Disable CONFIG_SPLASH_SOURCE instead of patching the source.
2. No compressed bmp logo in use. Unnecessary and labelled as a hack.
3. Irrelevant as we don't enable CONFIG_CMD_BOOTMENU for this device.
4. Kept patch "vidconsole-uclass: Implement ANSI_CURSOR_COLUMN".
- 0007-rockchip-boot-order.patch
- Upstream as b212ad24a604b00b240add35516b7381965deb31, in v2021.10
- 0008-rockchip-boot-order-add-usb.patch
- **not upstream**
- 0009-rk3399-support-compressed-kernel.patch
- Upstream in 6c041b35bf8966ef3d48fc439c1c07131431d2f5, in v2020.10
Drop a few cosmetic and UX improvements were dropped. These are not
strictly required for device support. For example, only the Esc or
Ctrl+C key would interrupt boot, rather than u-boot's "press any key".
Carrying these improvements puts a burden on maintenance and drifts us
further from upstream.
Rebasing all the way up to v2024.01 was mostly strightfoward, but
v2024.07 had some major conflicts. The conflicting patch was already a
hack, so the result is a hack too.
Also drop "Define a very-opinionated boot sequence". This enables the
truetype console (which no longer builds on ARM64) and relies of
features which have been completely re-written upstream.

abuild's default behaviour copies files from usr/lib/systemd into a the
$pkgname-split subpackage.
Several APKBUILD definitions do this manually, since they predate this
feature.
Remove the superfluous systemd() function in these cases.

This package originally existed to carry local patches not included
upstream. That is not longer the case, and using the Alpine package
works fine.
Additionally, this package tends to lag behind; Alpine currently ships
2.8.6.

The `firmware-pine64-pinebookpro` predates the firmware for this device
being available upstream. It is now packaged in two separate packages:
linux-firmware-brcm and linux-firmware-rockchip.
Install those two linux-firmware packages and drop the custom one. This
drop a custom firmware package and also ensure that firmware is kept up to
date with the rest of linux-firmware-*.
The resulting installation includes all the previously included firmware
files and I've confirmed that both sound and wifi work fine (dmesg
indicates bluetooth is available too).
Previously, this extra rule was needed to grant regular users
permissions for the embedded display's backlight. It no longer seems to
be necessary; the presence of this rule is currently a no-op.
Someone else on IRC has tested removing the rule and also confirms this
new behaviour. I suspect this was fixed upstream in eudev.
