This is an early mainline port for the MediaTek MT6763 Helio P23 SoC
that just about boots in about 3 minutes with one core online, logs on
display (simplefb) or UART serial console and USB gadget mode
facilitating netbooting postmarketOS while tethered via RNDIS.
kgx was renamed to gnome-console with the release of version 42.beta, so
let's reflect that in our Phosh UI package.
[ci:skip-vercheck]: pkgrel bump is not necessary when changing
recommends.
Instead of using the uevent helper binary, mdev daemon listens for kernel
events using the netlink interface. Then the requirement of enabling
UEVENT_HELPER for pmOS kernels can be dropped, as it's use is discouraged.
From CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER kernel config help:
> This should not be used today, because usual systems create many events
> at bootup or device discovery in a very short time frame. One forked
> process per event can create so many processes that it creates a high
> system load, or on smaller systems it is known to create out-of-memory
> situations during bootup.
Support for running mdev as a daemon was added in 2019 with commit [1].
From that same commit:
> Adds the -d option to run mdev in daemon mode handling hotplug events
> from the kernel like udev. If the system generates many hotplug events
> this mode of operation will consume less resources than registering
> mdev as hotplug helper or using the uevent applet.

Add this new variable so pmbootstrap can use it to determine which
depends need to be installed for the fastboot flashing method. It used
to be android-tools,avbtool but now it's only android-tools as avbtool
became part of android-tools.

This is an incomplete port but it has greater functionality than the existing downstream based one, which has been moved to unmaintained.

There are 2 panel variants supported:
- panel-samsung-hx8389c-gh9607501a
- panel-samsung-s6d78a0-gh9607501a
Add both of them to enable panel display during splash and FDE.
Note that fortunaltezt has only one panel variant so it's not included.

New features for google-sargo:
- GPU acceleration
- Bluetooth
- Haptics (currently only rumble effect)
- Video acceleration (still untested)
- NFC (only detection was tested)
Certain newer hardware may require a newer kernel than the current
lts in order to work.
