Note that only the "linux-edge" kernel is used, and it's likely that
this kernel is still missing some functionality. I'd like to avoid using
a downstream/forked kernel if at all possible...
I chose to use gummiboot for now, since it's really simple to configure.
This can be moved to a more "standard" EFI boot mechanism once pmOS
figures that out.

- re-generated panels
- Xiaomi Redmi S2/Y2 (xiaomi-ysl) support
- PM8953 thermal zone enablement
- enable modem on Fairphone FP3

With the new pmbootstrap flasher flash_lk2nd action we should add the
lk2nd package to the device package dependencies. Add it so the flash
works nicely.

postmarketos-mkinitfs!30 and specifically postmarketos-mkinitfs@6fdc8937,
changes expected hooks location from /etc/postmarketos-mkinitfs/hooks
to /etc/mkinitfs/hooks, and another commit pushed later adds
/usr/share/mkinitfs/hooks to expected directories. This more or less
breaks new pmOS installs done by running pmbootstrap install on edge branch,
which pull current (2023-06-17T16:57+02:00) device-* packages from
https://mirror.postmarketos.org/postmarketos/master.
Many of those packages which included initfs-hook.sh no longer work in that
case, because they had those hooks in old location, which isn't used
by latest postmarketos-mkinitfs.
Rebuilding the affected packages solves the issue.

Apparently the ath6kl FW can hang at times, so this enables automatic
recovery. This should make wifi on tablets that use ath6kl a little more
reliable.
Otherwise there is a 3 min delay until we can ssh into the device.
Same issue as on samsung-crownlte, where rom4nik investigated and
found the solution [1].
Note that the display does not work for dreamlte and dream2lte at the
moment, the device gets stuck on the pmos boot splash screen. This
issue is tracked in
https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/issues/2102.

- ath6kl fw is used by some tablets (e.g. baytrail)
- Add support for i2c touchscreens in initramfs, which enables FDE
support for tablets that have i2c touchscreens.
- Drop phosh subpackage / phoc.ini. Forcing 1X scaling is wrong on some
tablets... Phoc/phosh is capable of detecting screen scaling, if it's
wrong on a tablet then a patch should be submitted upstream to fix it.

Some tablets have eMMC, which pmOS can be installed to. These modules
are needed to detect/mount the boot and rootfs partitions.
This also adds i915, which sets up the display and allows the splash
screen / console to work on boot.
This allows the user (upon loading the module) to handle non-native
binaries transparently - after registering the magic number and the
command for handling execution, the programs can be ran as if compiled
for the host architecture. (Similarly how the shebang line allows
the interpreter to be specified for scirpts).
Common use-cases include
* Using qemu user-space emulation to run
x86 binaries on ARM (or the other way around), or simply running
64-bit binaries on 32-bit architectures.
* Allow Java programs to be run transparently.
* Creating cross-architecture chroots (for cross-compilation e.g.)
It doesn't build currently (issue 2146) and also it's not used by any
device package currently (with other ports we support selecting between
mainline and downstream kernel in some cases, but not here).
If it's useful, the build can be fixed and it can be added back in a
future patch.
This also enables a few other things for Amlogic SBCs, including some
kernel config that enables video decoding support, however userspace
still doesn't support it (e.g. requires patched ffmpeg)

Rebase of sdm660 patchset on top of linux-stable/linux-6.3.y
branch.
Notable changes:
* New device: HMD Global Nokia 6.1 (nokia-pl2)
* New device: Xiaomi Mi A2 (xiaomi-jasmine_sprout)
* usage of pmb:kconfigcheck-community only
* LOCALVERSION is no longer set in kconfig, but at build time
