Rework logging to always log the initramfs output to the kernel
ringbuffer and deprecate PMOS_NO_OUTPUT_REDIRECT in favour of following
the kernel loglevel.
I know it seems silly to use syslogd for this, but it's necessary to
buffer writes to /dev/kmsg per-line if we want to correctly set the log
level, and "tee" does not do this (it will write multiple lines at once,
resulting in "<14>" prints in the ringbuffer). The main advantage to
this is that we won't have kernel logs cut in half by initramfs logs
anymore, everything will be nicely line buffered!
The previous logging solution of multiple "tail" commands would actually
fail to log up to the last few lines before a crash due to how tail
works (it polls the file and buffers lines).
I attempted something like this before, but I stopped after running into
ratelimiting issues. These are now resolved by configuring the
printk_devkmsg sysctl.
Dropping PMOS_NO_OUTPUT_REDIRECT:
The general motivations behind PMOS_NO_OUTPUT_REDIRECT was to avoid
cluttering up the console with initramfs logs when they aren't wanted;
this is now handled instead by the kernels logging facility. We log to
the ringbuffer at LOGLEVEL_INFO, so if "quiet" is specified on the
cmdline (or the loglevel is otherwise set above info) then initramfs
logs will also not be shown.

We plan to make a lot of changes to the initramfs which will require
incresaing the size. There are some devices that have literally no free
space for this, so make a -minimal initramfs fork that can continue to
support those while we update the regular initramfs.

I'm not able to give this device the attention it deserves.
This also removes me from maintaining fw and kernel packages used by the
L5, and adds the current L5 maintainers to those packages.

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.

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.

(1) the deviceprofile differs from upstream 1.16.3 in the following respects:
(a) -export SXMO_NO_KEYBOARD=1 - allow use of the virtual keyboard
(b) +export SXMO_DMENU_LANDSCAPE_LINES="10"
+export SXMO_DMENU_PORTRAIT_LINES="6" - these two adjust the size of the
displayed dmenu menu.
* NB: All foregoing changes are already merged in sxmo-utils master.
(c) +export SXMO_TOUCHSCREEN_ID="TSC2005 touchscreen" - allows sxmo to
reliably toggle touch screen's enabled status
* The foregoing change is awaiting acceptance by upstream.
(2) The start hook differs from upstream 1.16.3 by the removal of the line that
starts conky. That program pegs N900 CPU usage at 100% all the time. This
change is not upstreamable, at least not for the time being
And configure any modem to be able to use it, so that we can keep
controlling things like bluetooth headsets, and take phone calls from a
car.

Upstream MR has been closed by Dylan 2 months ago, and this feature is
already present in pipewire. We are doing considerably amount of work to
get Pipewire production-ready in postmarketOS, including features to let
users choose. Given HFP support is actually a nice-to-have feature, but
not a great requirement, our fork is outdated (aports is on 17.0), and that
the upstream MR has been dropped and is not being worked on, it might be
time to drop this.
At some point the driver started using symlinks w/ machine IDs for
finding/loading fw, and for some reason I thought it was a good idea to
not install those symlinks.
