Upgrade to 5.15.0, disable some unused I2C and SPI configs, and
remove msm8996 from linux-msm8996-$_tag, since $_tag already
includes msm8996 and makes the first one redundant.

v5.14.15 kernel used (current newest stable).
Intended to be used also on msm8992 which has nearly the same DTS.
I haven't tested other functionality except boot to initramfs on
huawei-angler and lg-bullhead.
Some kernel config options set according to
linux-postmarketos-qcom-msm8996.

We should always install lk image as /boot/lk2nd.img, even for
image with appended DTB (lk2nd-appended-dtb.img). pmbootstrap tooling
will expect it this way, and also it keeps all subpackages consistent,
while also making them conflict with each other.
Add new subpackages that are explicitly named -appended, but still
install the same file.
Each device should "know" which kind of LK image it needs and should
explicitly depends on specific variant.
Having only one file `/boot/lk2nd.img` will simplify many things,
for example we don't have to introduce new deviceinfo properties
to specify which image is needed (like if we installed both of them).

Support for custom "Loading..." splashes was added in MR 1776, but
`unlock_root_partition` function is still hardcoding default "Loading..."
splash. Fix this behaviour by replacing usage of `show_splash` function with
`show_splash_loading`, which accounts for presence of custom splash.
Closes#759
MyCroft is something definitely not everybody wants, and it could in
theory even make slower devices unusable while they would otherwise work
fine with Bigscreen. Let's move it to extras so it's optional to install
Last update for 5.14 kernel, next one will be 5.15
Kernel config cleanup:
* enable various USB peripherals support, per user requests:
* usb webcams [m]
* usb ethernet adapters [m]
* remove support for various TV tuners and DVB cards
* enable few filesystem drivers [m], like iso9660, exFAT, ntfs
* enable kernel automounter, to use with nfs (autofs, [m])
* disable CONFIG_ARM_CPUIDLE, which gets rid of annoying message
during boot:
/cpus/cpu@0: unsupported enable-method property: qcom,kpss-acc-v2
Cpuidle is handled by another driver, which is still enabled:
CONFIG_ARM_QCOM_SPM_CPUIDLE

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

This seems to fix the last missing piece to getting the hotspot stuff
working, at least when it's set up with networkmanager (I haven't tested
other methods, but assume this rule is still needed there too...)
fixes#1198
Installing postmarketos-base currently changes the file permissions
of /etc/sudoers:
# apk add sudo
# stat /etc/sudoers
Access: (0440/-r--r-----) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)
# apk add postmarketos-base
# stat /etc/sudoers
Access: (0044/----r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)
The file mode 0044 decodes to:
- User *cannot* read
- Group can read
- Other can read
which does not make any sense. The "sudoers" man page makes it very
clear that this file should have a file mode of 0440 [1]
("readable by owner and group, writable by none").
This looks like a bad typo. However, given that only read permissions
were given out this shouldn't have major security implications
(except allowing all users to see who can use sudo).
Install the file with 0440 instead of 0044 to fix this:
# apk add postmarketos-base
# stat /etc/sudoers
Access: (0440/-r--r-----) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)

This used to be in Alpine but they don't want what is basically a giant
unknown blob, and for good reasons. However we do want to provide these
images for ease of install and quality-control, so let's ship it in pmOS
instead
When building from tarball git tag is not available.
We need to pass version number manually.
This chnage is cosmetic, but will allow users to easily
identify version and source of their bootloader.
Package secondary LK bootloader for some Qualcomm devices
(for now: msm8916, msm8974, msm8226).
Bootloader binary is built from source in x86_64 chroot.
Two targets are built in a sequence. Then package is split
into 2 subpackages, each of them installs `/boot/lk2nd.img`.
So the end result is - lk2nd-msm8916 and lk2nd-msm8974 can't
be installed at the same time.
Device- packages then can depend on specific subpackage of this
package and have proxy-bootloader image ready to use in /boot.
This can improve user experience with installing postmarketOS on
several devices using only pmbootstrap tool.
At the very least, pmbootstrap can suggest user to flash lk2nd
immediately after `pmbootstrap install` or even offer some kind
of `pmbootstrap flasher` integration.
This will also open possibilities to automatically update and flash
lk2nd using package manager, it we ever want this.
Improvements from xfce4-phone source:
- Add screenshot to README.md
- Enable screen locking
- Disable Desktop icons "Home", "File System", "Trash"
- Enable single-click on Desktop
- Enable single-click in Thunar
- Change clock format
- Set postmarketos wallpaper
Additional changes in postmarketos-ui-xfce4:
- Installing greybird-themes (which is already set as default theme in
/etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml).
- Changing /etc/skel/.config/autostart/onboard-autostart.desktop to
slightly speed up keysboard startup (overriding startup-delay of
/etc/xdg/autostart/onboard-autostart.desktop).
- Enabling scrollbars by /etc/profile.d/enable-scrollbars.sh, this is
helpful where touch-scrolling doesn't work like e.g. in whiskermenu.
(And re-ordered network-manager-applet in APKBUILD _pmb_recommends
section.)
Also removing xfce4 subpackages of device-qemu-amd64,
device-qemu-aarch64 and device-nokia-n900. The device specific monitor
to set the wallpaper will now be automatically derived from "monitor0"
in file xfce4-desktop.xml.
Additionally taking maintainership as discussed in merge request
(!2506).
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).
