Device uses mainline kernel. What works:
- boots
- pstore log
- simple framebuffer
- storage including sdcard
* payload mock device tree:
Payload mock device tree is needed to mock device tree,
when we're overriding linux with u-boot in android boot image.
Stock bootloader needs this dtb appended to gzipped u-boot.
Bootscript is a simple hush shell script, dedicated to boot OS.
It may be customized to implement dual boot or to change kernel
command line.
To make panel driver upstreamable to mainline linux, we need to use
proper panel selection in secondary bootloader (still TODO), and
therefore lk2nd will be strictly required to boot mainline port.
Switch flashing method to fastboot, enable sparse rootfs generation,
and depend on lk2nd package.
Depends on: postmarketOS/pmbootstrap!2174, to provide full
integration of lk2nd in pmbootstrap.
So, full flashing procedure for samsung-klte will look like:
$ pmbootstrap init
$ pmbootstrap install
$ pmbootstrap flasher --method=heimdall-bootimg flash_lk2nd
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel --no-install
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs
$ fastboot reboot
This removes u-boot from our image and allows booting via an
UEFI-compatible platform firmware instead. So to flash pmOS on the PPP
now we will require the user to flash Tow-Boot to the SPI. See the edge
post for more information.

Add option for mainline kernel iso downstream kernel. Note that a lot is
not working yet due to incomplete devicetree, so this is for development
purposes only.
Now that internal storage is supported, we actually need a 4096 sector
size, otherwise kpartx won't work on internal partitions.

Unfortunately, the oppo-a51f has been unmaintained for quite some time
now. The original author (harutora) has disappeared and no one else
seems to have this device. The device port has several open problems:
1. The device was never added properly to upstream lk2nd, because
of a special (OPPO-specific) boot image format. Users need to
compile and install some outdated version of lk2nd, which is no
longer (fully) compatible with newer kernel versions.
2. The authorship of the Linux changes are unclear: They were created
with a "no-reply" email address and without Signed-off-by line
that clarifies the licensing of the changes and permits upstreaming
the patches.
Since oppo-a51f is the last remaining device port in linux-postmarketos
-qcom-msm8916 with this problem, I decided to drop the patches from the
kernel, at least until harutora returns or can clarify the authorship
of the created patches.
The soc-qcom-sdm845-nonfree-firmware dependency is now moved from
firmware-shift-sdm845 package to the device package.
This will make the firmware package to only depend on firmware files.

Also, pmb:cross-native is added to the package options so CI testcases
doesn't fail.
I'm not deduplicating the UCM files between m3 and m0 as I may not
always be able to test changes to m3, and I'd rather have a an
outdated configuration for m3 than a broken one.
Apparently works significantly better on SHV-E210S and seems to
work about equally well on i9300. Besides, using upstream firmware
with a clear licence is nice. Also use different nvram file for m3.
In preparation to removal of linux-postmarketos repo, switch
source to different source mirror.
P.S: sourcehut can't serve bz2 archives, I had to switch to gz
P.P.S: I'm not sure I'll keep repo on sourcehut forever, but let's try

I had to switch to gzip archive, because github doesn't serve bzip2.
I did a kconfig edit -> change nothing -> exit saving to regenerate config.

CONFIG_MSM_KGSL (Kernel Graphics Subsystem Layer) breaks the framebuffer
in mysterious ways even on this device. This MR disables KGSL to restore
framebuffer functionality.
