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).
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.

Currently it requries the check_code result check in the
vendor uboot to be disabled as explained in the wiki.
Booting directly via reconfigured boot order still
does not work. It hangs somewhere in the kernel.
Firmware for Wifi/BT is not included yet.
It could use the linux-postmarketos-omap kernel in the future,
but there are still some dirty things in there e.g. for sound
which are not suitable for a multi-device kernel.

PineTab 2 is a successor to the original PineTab from PINE64 released
in mid-2023.
The tablet came with DanctNIX's fork of Arch Linux ARM, comes with
K Desktop Environment as the UI and available with 64GB eMMC/4GB RAM
or 128GB eMMC/8GB RAM.
Changelog since 6.7:
General:
* Adreno 5xx preemtion is now disabled due to hangs it causes.
This makes GPU a lot more cooperative on these platforms.
* Fixed absence of zap-shader region which caused devices with
GPU enabled to freeze the whole system.
* Fixed ath10k Wi-Fi not connecting to 5Ghz networks.
* Incorporated in-kernel pd-mapper patchset, therefore userspace
pd-mapper daemon is not required.
* Kernel cmdline from bootloader is no longer ignored completely,
in other words, not hardcoded. You can now modify cmdline in
deviceinfo file and changes in that file will not be ignored.
Devices:
* Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 (lavender):
* split device trees into 2 variants by panel type (Tianma & BOE)
* GPU + panel support for 2 variants
* Vibrator support
* Connectivity: modem, Wi-Fi and bluetooth support.
* Other/all devices:
* update device trees according to upstream USB stack changes
(related to USB 3 phy support)
Install script into /etc/profile.d with workaround for mesa bugs.
This makes most SDM660 devices usable for general people out of the box.

Add msm-firmware-loader, soc-qcom-sdm660-rproc, firmware-xiaomi-lavender
and firmware-qcom-adreno-a530 as dependency. This is necessary to make
Wi-Fi and modem work.
Add support for panel drivers.
Phoc now defaults to 1,25 as scale on skomer, which while not perfect,
is good enough and lets the device be unlocked. As such, let's remove
this configuration file and encourage improvements upstream instead.

For now, limited support without graphics. Graphics
support would need messing and detecting board variants.
especially since Rev B seems to need a vcom setting per batch.

He did an awesome job adding an initial port for this device but hasn't
helped to maintain it, so I'm removing him from the list of active maintainers.
This causes a lot of spam in dmesg about "failed to allocate compressor transform", making it nearly impossible to search anything in the system logs.
This option has nothing to do with zram.

These kernels must have NLS_ASCII set after bb6d7a05b, or else they
cannot mount the ESP as /boot and boot fails. This kconfig option will
be added to the pmb efi kconfig check so that this is caught in the
future pre-merge.

Device uses heimdall flash method by default, with uppercase
partition name in it's PIT file. This conflicts with flash on update,
because in Linux partitions named in lowercase. To resolve this conflict,
default flash method changed to fastboot. Heimdall still can be used with
`--method` flag: `pmbootstrap flasher --method heimdall-bootimg flash_kernel`
- enable flash on update flag.
- change default flash method to 'fastboot'
U-boot doesn't output bootscript logs, which makes it hard to debug.
Put bootscript to prebootscript section. Preboot is executed before
boot, and u-boot displays it's logs.
- Drop -mesa subpackage, this is handled by postmarketos-base now
- Add 'quiet' kernel cmdline param to hide kernel messages on boot by
default
- set chassis type to 'desktop'
- re-add firmware-ath6kl, this used to be included in the old
tablet-x86uefi but was accidentally dropped when that was merged into
this generic device package
- adds kconfigcheck-containers
- adds missing kconfigcheck-community options
- adds some missing dynamic debug stuff
- also adds kconfig options required by libcamera, because why not.

Reserve 256MB for CMA, and of those use 192MB as VRAM.
The default value from the kernel side causes graphical issues with e.g.
phosh, so increase it so we have some more VRAM to work with.

Near-mainline kernel is feature-complete since quite some time, so lets
use that as a default also to simplify boot process, since downstream kernel
depends on various blobs loaded into memory by the bootloader.
Get rid of quirks required in boot process for mainline kernels
also by using a near-mainline u-boot.
Prepare for handling rev b devices.
Keep Downstream kernel to be able to optimize/compare EPD operation
- usbguard config: these are builtin USB devices that should be allowed
by default
- removed nonfree-fw package, I decided that everything from that should
be required since some fairly major features are broken without these
firmwares and relevant userspace apps
- re-enabled EFI runtime services, so efifb is used (and probably other
benefits?)
- Laptops need the "Linux Boot" option enabled
- "With recent UEFI firmware efi=noruntime can be left out when
the Linux Boot option is enabled."

It seems that wireplumber is now installed by default, instead of pipewire-media-session. Thus we need to set api.alsa.headroom in wireplumber configuration too to get working audio.
This basically copies /usr/share/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/alsa-vm.conf and relaxes the filters.

exkc has stated that he cannot maintain the ports anymore,
see #postmarketos-devel discussion:
<@f_[xmpp]> af2e02839bcfb0aae789a9ea66f63a: hiya, are you available?
<@f_[xmpp]> It's about 2 of your Amlogic device ports. You said
before that your beelink-gt1 and xiaomi-once were broken
<@f_[xmpp]> are you still able to maintain these ports?
<@f_[xmpp]> If not then they should probably be dropped.
<af2e02839bcfb0aae789a9ea66f63a> drop them
