Right now we have multiple variants of A5 that are only different in
secure-boot keys and as such different firmware blobs.
Use msm-firmware-loader to support all A5 variants with a single device
port. Because of that, drop lte suffix as there are 3g variants as well.
Right now we have multiple variants of A3 that are only different in
secure-boot keys and as such different firmware blobs.
Use msm-firmware-loader to support all A3 variants with a single device

With the new msm8916-mainline kernel DT for gt510wifi is reworked to be
reused with gt58 devices. While at it, the DT was generalized to be used
with the LTE variants of the device as well as the wifi variant.
Change base dtb name to the new common dt and add an LTE-specific dt
that enavles the modem. Since variants have different secure-boot keys,
use msm-firmware-loader for that.
Also make various updates to support gpu-accelerated UI's and FDE.
Many devices need proprietary firmware blobs. So far those blobs were
packaged and installed from the repository but this approach has many
drawbacks:
- The rootfs can only be used on a single device model.
- If a model has multiple variants that have diferent secire-boot key,
each must have it's own firmware blobs.
This makes maintaining packaged firmware very hard and outweights the
benefits of having a repeatable installation in most cases.
Instead we can load blobs dynamically from preexisting firmware
partitions that usually have same structure and contain the blobs we are
interested in.
The proposed scripts place symlinks to the blobs in a special dir that
then given to the kernel. Blobs from firmware/postmarketos (or another
dir that was set as extra path prior the script execution) will take
priority which allows to override some blobs (e.g. for deviecs with no
secure-boot)
Currently we see this error in our dmesg:
udevd[764]: invalid key/value pair in file /etc/udev/rules.d/90-android-touch-dev.rules on line 6, starting at character 102 ('\\')

The best (only) theory so far is that issues occur if the battery is
deeply discharged. The latest kernel upgrade fixed both charging and
reported state-of-charge, so hopefully no one will have similar issues
from now on.
Also add patches from the Replicant project to fix so that charging
works, and patches from the linux-pm list to fix the SOC INTR message
that has been spamming our dmesg (issue
https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/issues/1214).
Add kernel flags needed for Anbox and Waydroid to work

Add pmb:cross-native/!tracedeps to applicable firmware packages and
secure both with a test.
This sets the pmb:cross-native and !tracedeps options on all firmware-*
packages that are compatible with the native compilation method. A unit
test ensures the presence of both options while maintaining a list of
exempted packages.
Fixes: #718

Also add patches that should fix backlight control, add reboot modes,
and work around a nasty eMMC corruption issue.

This is no longer used by anyone and also should not be used anymore.
The new WWAN RPMSG CTRL for the WWAN subsystem is now the preferred
way to talk to the modem on MSM8916/MSM8939/MSM8974 and other similar SoCs.

Starting with Linux 5.14, the modem can be controlled through the new
WWAN subsystem in Linux with the WWAN RPMSG CTRL driver. This is also
supported in ModemManager 1.18 and the pmOS fork of oFono.
Drop the udev rules for the previous approach through the RPMSG chardev
since this causes the modem to be detected twice by ModemManager and oFono.
- Update to Linux 5.14
- Enable new RPMSG WWAN CTRL driver that is now used to communicate
with the modem through the new WWAN subsystem in Linux
- Minor fixes for ARM32
- Enable some additional options in kernel config (F2FS, UHID, LED triggers)
- Add TravMurav as second maintainer
