- Cleanup kernel cmdline:
- earlycon can automatically detect the memory address of
the UART controller based on the device tree
- the comma before n8 in console=ttyMSM0,115200,n8 is actually
invalid so this was not parsed correctly. However, it is the
default anyway so we might as well remove it completely
- Configure deviceinfo_getty for all devices
- Workaround probe issue of display by adding a softdep on the panel
module. This allows the display to work when excluding proprietary
firmware (just a weird side effect, see comment in modprobe.conf...)
The device port gets increasingly hard to maintain with all the differences
between the downstream and the mainline kernel. Especially deviceinfo
has quite some duplication only because the downstream kernel needs to be
handled as well.
The mainline port has much more features working. The only limitation
compared to the downstream kernel is the lack of a proper charging driver.
But even on downstream postmarketOS the battery driver is not working
properly for some reason.
For charging, a downstream installation in recovery seems more suitable
at the moment. Eventually we will build some functionality into the
bootloader to load a simple downstream initramfs when the device gets
booted for charging.
Prepare for better device categorization by moving everything to testing
subdir first.
