Linux 5.18 brought better support for some x86-based Android tablets,
thanks to work from Hans de Goede. This includes asus-me176c: the
modified ACPI table and the Linux fork is no longer necessary,
it can just run linux-edge from Alpine.
Drop the old Linux 5.4 fork and related packages. Instead of using
the proprietary sound firmware from linux-firmware-intel, switch to
using the open-source(!) "Sound Open Firmware" (SOF).
NOTE: The mainline battery driver seems quite a bit less accurate
than the ugly old driver ported from the downstream driver. Also,
Bluetooth seems to fail on some boots now. Overall it works quite
well though. :)
Since c49d84f4ab1856156d26d59f5c88387776990d24 in Alpine's aports,
the sm.puri.OSK0.desktop service no longer tries to execute
/usr/bin/osk-wayland and instead just executes /usr/bin/squeekboard
directly, thus avoiding this needless indirection. virtboard hasn't
existed in postmarketOS for years at this point and squeekboard is
a hard dependency of phosh, so it's always going to be present
(thus making this check unnecessary) and the fallback if it isn't
wouldn't work anyway.

At this point the only application preconfigured to be scaled was GNOME
Maps, which nowdays adapts just fine to narrow screens. Having it scaled
like this by default only degrades the user experience by making UI
elements tiny and hard to interact with.

Upstream has evince 43 now, which seems to be adapted (tested on the
Librem 5), and the old evince in this package depends on a package that
no longer exists:
ERROR: unable to select packages:
so:libgnome-desktop-3.so.19 (no such package):
required by: evince-9999_git20211009-r2[so:libgnome-desktop-3.so.19]
This would mitigate issues where apk unexpectedly replaces packages
somewhat as this way the user will be able to see precisely what changes
will happen to their system before they are committed. Furthermore, most
users are likely accustomed to package managers like apt, dnf, pacman,
among others that all are interactive by default and as such this would
provide a more familiar experience for them.
This will not affected pre-existing installs, and advanced users who
do not like this behaviour can restore the old one by deleting
/etc/apk/interactive.

After PulseAudio support for MATE sound was enabled in Alpine Linux,
its interfaces are now available in the native MATE sound settings.
The additional PulseAudio volume control application therefore became
redundant.

Mesa behaves again, #1658 is fixed, so lets re-revert MR 3306.
Lets also add the dependency to the other devices using the same
graphics driver.

pmbootstrap and postmarketos-mkinitfs don't support multiple lines in
these files, and the complexity is not worth implementing there. Let's
keep the format dead-simple and enforce it across all files.
While at it, enforce that comments stat with '# ' and make sure each
line has quotations (we had some without).

This isn't really a fix, but the device's framebuffer has only one mode and it's enough to get Xorg up and running.

Add msm8939 SoC package to be used in addition to soc-qcom-msm8916.
For now it provides a shell script setting FD_MESA_DEBUG=nobin env var
to work-around graphical corruption seen on adreno 405 devices.
