main/msm-firmware-loader: add a package to load firmware on msm devices (MR 2431) 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)

main/msm-firmware-loader: add dummy wcnss subpackage (MR 2619) firmware-qcom-msm8916-wcnss is a virtual package used for MSM8916 devices without secure boot (i.e. device that do not require signed firmware). For those it's best to install more recent firmware by default rather than using the firmware on the firmware partition. firmware-qcom-msm8916-wcnss is provided by firmware-qcom-db410c-wcnss by default, however it's still useful to make it possible to switch to the stock firmware on the firmware partition if needed. To allow that, add a dummy msm-firmware-loader-wcnss package that provides the virtual package using the msm-firmware-loader. # apk add msm-firmware-loader-wcnss (1/2) Purging firmware-qcom-db410c-wcnss (1034.2.1-r2) (2/2) Installing msm-firmware-loader-wcnss (1-r1)
