linux-postmarketos-omap now supports the Nokia N900 and its OMAP3430 SoC, so
drop this device-specific fork

Remove maintainers who could not be reached to test v22.12. Add exkc as
maintainer for firmware-pine64-rockpro64 as discussed in review of this
patch.

Kernel configuration addition:
Enabled the newly added Lazy RCU scheduler.
RCU_LAZY can help battery-powered systems like the PinePhone Pro in a few ways:
1. Reduced CPU usage: Because RCU_LAZY allows readers to access shared data structures without acquiring locks or other synchronization primitives,
it reduces the amount of CPU time that is required to manage synchronization. This can be particularly beneficial in battery-powered systems,
where reducing CPU usage can extend battery life.
2. Reduced memory usage: RCU_LAZY delays the creation of multiple versions of the shared data structure until they are actually needed.
This reduces the amount of memory that is required to store these versions.
In battery-powered systems, where memory usage can be a critical resource, this can help to conserve power.
3. Reduced synchronization overhead: RCU_LAZY reduces the overhead of synchronization by delaying the creation of multiple versions of the shared data structure.
This can reduce the amount of time that is spent acquiring and releasing locks or other synchronization primitives,
which can help to conserve power in battery-powered systems.

Add a driver for the Magnachip EA8061 panel found on some Samsung
Galaxy Note II devices. Split the device trees into two (one for devices
with the already supported S6EVR02 panel and one for the new EA8061
panel).
Note: I didn't write this driver myself. Just like the old S6EVR02
driver, it has been ported from https://github.com/fourkbomb/linux
to the latest mainline Linux version.
The google-dru package provides the linux-postmarketos-rockchip as a
kernel and supports linux-firmware-ath10k linux-firmware-rockchip
packages as additional non-free firmware.
Enable the ATH10K kernel module in the kernel config
config-postmarketos-rockchip.aarch64 to enable wifi on devices such as
the Acer Chrometab 10.

The WCNSS firwmare used for motorola-harpia seems to have weird issues
that prevent using WiFi properly except for a few limited channels. It
is not clear why this happens, it seems to be some peculiar firmware
difference (perhaps the channels need to be enabled with some
non-standard command).
Since Motorola uses the same signing keys for all their MSM8916
devices, it is possible to use the firmware from other devices instead.
Initial testing shows promising results when using the older WCNSS
firmware from motorola-osprey instead, it does not seem to have this
issue.
It's not clear yet if this has any negative effects. The WCNSS firmware
should not be device-specific, but theoretically it could be (if
Motorola made some weird changes inside it).
For now just package it in firmware-motorola-osprey-wcnss. This package
can be easily installed on harpia devices for testing (using apk add)
and will then take precendence over the default firmware from the
firmware partition (via msm-firmware-loader).
Move firmware-motorola-osprey from testing to community so that the
package is preserved for motorola-harpia users (testing is deleted in
stable branches).

Schedutil is a CPU scheduler that is designed to be more efficient than other schedulers, such as the conservative scheduler, in terms of energy consumption.
This is because schedutil uses information about the utilization of individual CPU cores to make more intelligent decisions about when and how to scale the frequency of the CPU.
This can help to reduce the overall power consumption of the device, which can be particularly beneficial for battery-powered devices.
Additionally, schedutil can also help to improve the overall performance of the device by ensuring that the CPU is able to operate at its maximum frequency when needed.
In my personal testing I haven't seen any noticable impact on power consumption, while the performance does certainly noticeably increase
