Rework the messages and avoid re-spawning the splash on every check.
Additionally, add a call to check_keys, this lets users drop to a debug
shell or export logs to triage this failure (particularly useful for
hard-to-reproduce issues).
Finally, add a (liberal) 30 second timeout and dump logs at the end. If
we're just waiting for a device to show up and it doesn't after 30
seconds then it's probably never going to...

In mount_subpartition we currently try to look for the boot partition,
to see if we're done (either we aren't using subpartitions or we found
the right one). However it is possible that a device might have
originally used the subpartition scheme, but was later converted to have
a real boot partition (for EFI for example).
In this scenario, the boot partition would be found immediately, but the
root subpartition would not be.
Address this by making mount_subpartition check for success by calling
find_root_partition instead of find_boot_partition. For most
installations this has no impact.

Which can have significant performance impact on affected devices,
such as the Librem5 or the PinePhone.
The patch already landed upstream, however a new release is likely
several weeks or months away, making a backport worthwhile.

Install a kill-pbsplash systemd service which is configured to be
started as part of the graphical-session user target. Additionally
install an override so that if the display-manager service (aliases to
gdm, sddm, etc) fails to start it will still kill pbsplash.

Currently, dtbtool-sprd has an argument -p which accepts the path to the
dtc binary. When it's not provided, it should use the dtc binary installed
in the system as a fallback. However, that's not the case. The following
error is reported:
Found file: test.dtb ... skip, failed to scan for 'sprd,sc-id = <' tag
...even though test.dtb has the `sprd,sc-id` property.
In order to mitigate such issues, install dtc as a dependency of the
package.
Without it some devices will fail to mount the boot partition:
FAT-fs (mmcblk1p1): IO charset ascii not found
Also disable CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED.

This cmdline argument is now a no-op. Drop it everywhere and add a new
CI check to enforce this.
Adjust the deprecated "minimal" initramfs variant to use
pmos.debug-shell to enable logging instead. It doesn't /support/
dropping to a shell, so the variable takes on a different meaning. But
that's ok since it's at least more consistent.

[ci:skip-build]: kernel builds are very likely to go through now
* drop maxcpus=0, which was added with 73a033328e ("device-nokia-n900: set
uniprocessor mode for kernel (MR 4299)") while troubleshooting. a better
fix was eventually implemented with 3e737241ba ("linux-postmarketos-omap:
N900: disable twl off idle features (MR 4317)")
* drop PMOS_NO_OUTPUT_REDIRECT, which was obsoleted by 7c98127746
("postmarketos-initramfs: switch to udev and kmod (MR 5000)")
Use stock WiFi firmware instead of the generic linux-firmware-brcm
firmware. The stock firmware is newer and seems to be better suited
for the BCM4334B2 variant used in these tablets.
This fixes timeout errors from the brcmfmac driver and seems to
slightly improve download/upload speeds (by about 1MB/s).
