Use stock WiFi firmware instead of the generic linux-firmware-brcm
firmware. The stock firmware is newer and seems to be better suited
for the BCM4334B2 variant used in these tablets.
This fixes timeout errors from the brcmfmac driver and seems to
slightly improve download/upload speeds (by about 1MB/s).
This updates the minimal initramfs to be at the same version that
postmarketos-initramfs was when it was split off. This should have been
done as a part of !5000.
The changelog from git:
- main/postmarketos-initramfs: fix stowaway (MR 5206)
- main/msm-fb-refresher: move cleanup from initramfs into msm-fb-refresher (MR 5191)
- main/postmarketos-mkinitfs-hook-debug-shell: Cleanup debug-shell telnet server (MR 5191)
- main/postmarketos-initramfs: Allow packages to define cleanup hooks (MR 5191)
- main/postmarketos-initramfs: update comment on why we mount /boot (MR 5089)
- main/postmarketos-initramfs: add options for charset to mount vfat /boot (MR 5089)
- main/postmarketos-initramfs: add some sane mount options to /boot (MR 5089)
- main/postmarketos-initramfs: stowaway rootfs (MR 4386)
- main/postmarketos-initramfs: add crc32_generic module for F2FS (MR 4973)
- main/postmarketos-initramfs: add USB booting support (MR 4947)
- main/postmarketos-initramfs: fix starting unudhcpd when no UDC configured (MR 4907)
- postmarketos-initramfs: bigger log image size (MR 4880)
- main/postmarketos-initramfs: allow redirect logs to pmsg device (MR 4800)
Introduce support for having CI automatically update packages using
project access tokens and scheduled pipelines.
The pipeline schedule is configured with an additional variable
containing a list of packages to update, the autoupdate-fetch.sh script
then calls a handler for each of these, the handler is expected to check
for an update, make the necessary APKBUILD changes and commit them.
After all packages have been updated, the changes are pushed to pmaports
master using a project access token.

trailblazer is a bleeding edge, unstable target for EFI capable ARM64
devices. It runs linux-next and should otherwise be adjusted to support
as many devices as possible.
The goal of trailblazer is to motivate more upstream kernel development by
providing a tighter feedback loop (patches land in -next weeks before they
make it into mainline or stable), as well as encouraging more generic
solutions to the device specific hacks we have in userspace.
On supported devices, trailblazer should reflect the current state of
upstream. It allows users to easily appreciate what feature are
unavailable, and more importantly appreciate when a new feature does get
added upstream.
Due to the instability of linux-next, the plan is to have BPO build
trailblazer images nightly, so if next breaks then the images should
only be broken for a day.

Introduce a linux-next kernel with postmarketOS configs and some
additional device specific configs enabled.
This kernel package will be updated daily to the latest -next tag.
breakages expected. It is designed to be used in tandem with a generic
ARM64 device package to provide a bleeding edge option for those with
EFI capable bootloaders.

pma!5000 added a new implicit dependency on libinput, because it
specified libinput files in the initramfs file hook. mkinitfs considers
it fatal if it cannot find files listed in a file hook.
Later this could be 'optimized' by adding a -libinput subpkg and an
`install_if=libinput-libs` to add this file hook so it's not installed
everywhere... but the size increase isn't too much for UIs.. someone can
do this later.
> libinput-libs-1.26.0-r0 installed size:
> 476 KiB
This fixes a missing dependency problem where a UI (e.g. "none") doesn't
normally depend on libinput, and mkinitfs would fail because these files
were missing.
mdev is slow and missing features, it also requires that we load all the
modules that we include at once making the boot process slower.
udev is required for unl0kr (and buffyboard), it can also load modules
on demand (and asynchronously). Making the boot process considerably
faster on devices, especially for generic images where we have lots of
drivers for different display panels in the initramfs.
Additionally, import full fat modprobe from the kmod package, this is
required to support compressed modules.
This brings us more in line with other distros and generally improves
compatibility.
If devices use broken kernel modules which don't correctly define
modalias', these drivers may not be loaded by udev. This should be fixed
by defining the missing modalias statements in the driver.
This also runs udev earlier in the init, so that display drivers are
loaded before the splash in case they are needed.

This incorprates the debug-shell functionality directly into the
initramfs, so it's no longer necessary to build and boot a custom
initramfs in order to debug your device.
Additionally, the behaviour of the debug-shell is entirely reworked, It
now creates an ACM serial gadget which can be accessed via any normal
terminal emulator (picocom, minicom, etc; or PuTTY on windows). Rather
than just invoking sh, the debug-shell now creates a respawning getty on
both the new virtual console and the active console (this will either be
the UART console or tty0/1).
It is necessary to spawn these shells via getty since the logging rework
means we can no longer assume that stdin/out/err reference a TTY.
In addition to the above, it is now possible to trigger a log dump by
holding volume up during boot. This can be useful for helping users
debug their devices if the issue doesn't result in a failure that can be
detected in the initramfs.
With these changes, the console-shell and debug-shell hook packages are
reduced to only adding the additional tools/features. console-shell is
still required for fbkeyboard, and debug-shell for the setup_usb_storage
tool.
