The Huawei Ascend G7 is based on Qualcomm MSM8916 and therefore makes
use of linux-postmarketos-qcom-msm8916 as a close-to-mainline kernel.
Initially supported features:
- USB
- Storage (eMMC, SD card)
- Display
- Touchscreen, Buttons, Vibrator
- Notification LED
- WiFi/Bluetooth
- Accelerometer, Magnetometer, Proximity
- Audio
- NFC
The modem needs more work to work around strange Huawei firmware mess.
Note that the Huawei shipped an outdated firmware version that does
not support booting aarch64 kernels (like used in this device port).
However, the device does not verify firmware signatures so it is
possible to flash firmware from other devices. This is mostly
described in the wiki, but unfortunately it's quite complex.
However, the aarch64 version of linux-postmarketos-qcom-msm8916
receives much more testing so I would like to avoid adding more
armv7 MSM8916 devices unless absolutely necessary.
For pointercal:
Screen dimension 720x1280
Touchscreen dimension (reported by evtest) 1100x1900
720/1100*65536 = ~42896
1280/1900*65536 = ~44151
Offset doesn't seem to be needed.

Based on downstream Android 7.0 kernel source from Huawei.
02_fix_undeclared_AUD_INET.patch is from huawei-alice
USB Networking, Touchscreen, USB OTG and Display work in xfce4.
Wifi just needs firmware, audio is broken.
Other parts haven't been tested yet.
The close-to-mainline kernel removed the generic-dsi driver in favor of
normal panel drivers. Also the panel drivers are now built in. Reflect that.
Also reflect the changes of firmware-motorola-ocean in
device-motorola-ocean_nonfree-firmware.

- Add SLPI to nonfree_firmware description
- Add touchscreen and fuel gauge modules to the initramfs in preparation for
osk-sdl and charging-sdl (or any new alternative) support
- Add pointercal file for osk-sdl

Port based on an unofficial LineageOS port
from https://www.los-legacy.de/17.1/zerofltexx, using kernel from
https://github.com/Exynos7420/android_kernel_samsung_exynos7420/
What works:
- Kernel boots
- Display and touch input (tested with Weston)
- USB networking
- Wifi
For now only including Wifi drivers, as I wasn't yet able to
successfully test audio and camera subsystems (but I intentionally left
these firmware files commented out in the APKBUILD file).

AsteroidOS uses this config file to determine how the UI should look
(e.g. a round or a square screen), and if some things like Wi-Fi are
supported. Upstream auto generates this config file, but it seems so
simple and small that I think it's better for us to just ship the file
next to the APKBUILD

TF201 nvram was updated since previous did not work on some devices.
Added support for TF101, TF300TG and TF300TL.

Gummiboot was dropped from Alpine. Switch to grub, which is what we use
for tablet-x86uefi too.
In contrary to tablet-x86uefi, run the grub-mkimage command directly
inside the device package:
* This avoids creating another confusing grub-x86 like package (looks
like the x86 version of alpine's grub package, as it's the case with
grub-efi-x86, but actually it is just the result of grub-mkimage).
* In contrary to grub-efi-x86, the resulting efi file is not shared
across several devices.
* It's consistent with uboot mkimage commands, which we also run in
device packages.
