It thinks that the gcc-go.post-install files from the new cross/gcc-*
packages isn't used because those add subpackages dynamically in the
APKBUILD which isn't handled.
Our patch needs to be adjusted after commit 58e4a2d27d32 ("extcon: Fix
extcon_get_extcon_dev() error handling"). Also generate all other
patch headers, and make it possible to apply patch 0008 and 0009 with
git am.
Additionally switch mainline kernel from qcom_fg to bq27xxx_battery_i2c.
While at it simplify the deviceinfo_modules_initfs_alpine list to
exclude implicit dependencies that mkinitfs can find itself to make the
line length a bit less unwieldy.

Additionally switch mainline kernel from qcom_fg to bq27xxx_battery_i2c
and probe the correct panel driver, this was a regression that came from
the initial linux-edge enablement MR.

exclude implicit dependencies that mkinitfs can find itself to make the
line length a bit less unwieldy.
While this provides the ability to use ModemManager, there are quite a
lot of issues with the driver still; keep it enabled in kernel for now
and let users "modprobe ipa" if they want to test modem features
whichever side effects that may cause including:
- Making the device nearly impossible to poweroff or reboot
- Making the UI lag noticeably more due to some interconnect bandwidth
issues

The qca (Bluetooth) and qcom (non-zap GPU) firmware blobs don't need to
be signed by the OEM, so let's use upstream versions to benefit from
fixes and updates done there.
The soc-qcom-sdm845* packages are mostly sufficient, but there are a few
issues that all MSM8998 devices on mainline will face, so include
workarounds for them in a generic package all device pkgs can depend on.
Kernel doesn't compile anymore, and it doesn't seem worth fixing it
again. The kernel has been added in 2017 as a stock mainline kernel from
that time with only two patches and wasn't maintained since then,
looking at git log --follow it was only patched to fix it up when
it didn't build.
As the device is a generic x86_64 tablet: if somebody has that
particular device, try to get the generic device-tablet-x64uefi running
instead.
The qbootctl service tells the bootloader that the current boot has
succeeded, so that the bootloader doesn't switch to the other slot after
~7 tries.
The swclock-offset dependency ensures that the time is set correctly
after a reboot, caused by the read-only RTC on Qualcomm.
