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)
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).

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

- 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
The text color in mate-terminal is currently dark brown on black
background. Therefore hardly readable.
Changing text color to light gray on black background.
* Idol3 panel have been renamed, so update the defconfig to
reflect that.
* add finduitls to makedepends (MR 2519)
Gets rid of "find: unrecognized: -printf" in build log.

Fixes an issue where /dev/video2 can't be used by Megapixels (and thus
Megapixels crashing) when having PipeWire installed. The problem was
that the node could only be used by a single application, which was
PipeWire in that case.

Adjust post-upgrade script to not remove vmlinuz-*. This causes problems
with devices using kernels from Alpine, where the kernel is not
installed to /boot/vmlinuz, as it is now the case in postmarketOS, but
e.g. in /boot/vmlinuz-rpi. The intention was to clean up files when
migrating from the old postmarketos-mkinitfs to the new one (>= 1.0.0).
However, the /boot/vmlinuz* files are managed by apk, so they should
already get removed.
Add -v, so it prints a message when removing a file from /boot.
kernel filename must now be /boot/vmlinuz
[ci:skip-build]: ollie is pretty sure that this will work. it's a
critical fix, so let's not delay it by waiting for two kernels to build.
