Alpine patches busybox to support image alignment in [1].
So far we don't need to align the spalshes in postmarketOS as those are
generated per device. However with generic images it becomes impossible
to support multiple resolutions with this approach.
Set the alignment to "Center" in fbsplash config so generic system
images can reuse the splash on multiple resolutions.

my patch to disable SS was merged in purism's tree, so it's dropped
here. This kernel also enables the hantro video decoding stuff.

Purism's g-c-c fork is stuck in version 3.38. This has
multiple problems, including carrying old unnecessary
patches and producing some incompatibility with newer
GNOME releases available in Alpine. In consequence,
we fetch the source from upstream and only apply those
patches that make sense for our usecase. When the Purism
patches apply without issues, then we fetch them directly
from their repo.
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.

Now the user can choose to install the proprietary firmware along with
the downstream kernel (linux-huawei-angler) or a mainline kernel
(linux-postmarketos-qcom-msm8994).

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
While it doesn't make sense to package a mainline kernel for FP1 (only
UART and basic SoC components supported), it's good to include the dtb
name in deviceinfo so external tools can use it.
Enable flashing kernel on update + small cleanups for deviceinfo:
* re-sort lines in deviceinfo
* remove console=tty0 from kernel cmdline, so it does not spit out
all kernel logs on the screen. Now during boot you see just
blinking cursor and pmOS logo.
* The first patch has been droped from PureOS, which currently
ships stock debian 0.99.11. Therefore the fix must have been
applied somewhere else, same as it happened with the torch patches.
* The second patch is already merged upstream and present in latest
0.99.13 release in alpine.
If the only changed apkbuilds are skipped, then the check would lint
*every* apkbuild in aports (calling '-q lint' with no packages
apparently causes it to do everything)
This quits if all packages were skipped. It fixes the CI failure seen on
MR !2600
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

Rule D: Devices with secure boot and venus present in the firmware
partition need:
1. GPU firmware (firmware-qcom-adreno-a300)
2. msm-firmware-loader (for wcnss, modem, venus)
4. device-specific -wcnss-nv firmware

Reduce rootfs size a bit by installing the separated firmware packages
instead of the large linux-firmware-qcom package. Also, install the
modem firmware by default to prepare for enabling GPS.
Squash the packaged venus firmware blobs using pil-squasher so only
one file needs to be loaded rather than many small ones. Linux detects
squashed (.mbn) vs non-squashed (.mdt + .b*) based on file contents
(not file name) so it is fine to install venus.mbn to venus.mdt.
Strictly speaking firmware-bq-picmt is not needed anymore because
the msm-firmware-loader can be used to load the picmt firmware from
the firmware partitions. However, this package contains quite recent,
largely unmodified firmware from Qualcomm so it still seems useful
to keep if someone wants to test more recent firmware on some other
device (provided that their device does not verify firmware signatures).
To make this firmware package consistent with firmware-qcom-db410c,
squash the firmware blobs using pil-squasher so only one file needs
to be loaded rather than many small ones.
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)
Unfortunately, at the moment MSM8916 devices always have to install
all of linux-firmware-qcom (~ 60 MiB) when they actually just use
~ 0.008 MiB of GPU firmware in there. Everything else is just big
firmware blobs for other SoCs that are never going to be useful.
It's much more efficient to package the necessary firmware separately
to save rootfs space. The DB410c linux-board-support-package contains
all the firmware from linux-firmware as well, so we can easily package
it as part of the firmware-qcom-db410c package.
This commit makes the following changes to firmware-qcom-db410c:
1. Package venus() firmware that was previously installed from
linux-firmware-qcom. GPU firmware is packaged in firmware-qcom-adreno.
2. Use new firmware paths for DB410c that were applied upstream
3. "Squash" the firmware blobs to a single file using pil-squasher
