[ci:skip-vercheck] needed for the postmarketos-ui-* packages in this
series
[ci:skip-build] already built ui-* packages in CI, and device pacakges
are just trivial deviceinfo change (manually built some just to verify)
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Note that the Huawei shipped an outdated firmware version that does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.
