While this provides the ability to use ModemManager, there are quite a
lot of issues with the driver still; keep it enabled in kernel for now
and let users "modprobe ipa" if they want to test modem features
whichever side effects that may cause including:
- Making the device nearly impossible to poweroff or reboot
- Making the UI lag noticeably more due to some interconnect bandwidth

The qca (Bluetooth) and qcom (non-zap GPU) firmware blobs don't need to
be signed by the OEM, so let's use upstream versions to benefit from
fixes and updates done there.
The soc-qcom-sdm845* packages are mostly sufficient, but there are a few
issues that all MSM8998 devices on mainline will face, so include
workarounds for them in a generic package all device pkgs can depend on.
Kernel doesn't compile anymore, and it doesn't seem worth fixing it
again. The kernel has been added in 2017 as a stock mainline kernel from
that time with only two patches and wasn't maintained since then,
looking at git log --follow it was only patched to fix it up when
it didn't build.
As the device is a generic x86_64 tablet: if somebody has that
particular device, try to get the generic device-tablet-x64uefi running
instead.
The qbootctl service tells the bootloader that the current boot has
succeeded, so that the bootloader doesn't switch to the other slot after
~7 tries.
The swclock-offset dependency ensures that the time is set correctly
after a reboot, caused by the read-only RTC on Qualcomm.

This has been out-of-date for almost a year with seemingly stalled
progress on the existing upgrade MR[1] for months now; it really seems
like no one wants to maintain this which currently leaves this
"force-installed-by-default" packaged image broken on all wlroots-based
Wayland compositors for example.

Patch header for 0027 was not formatted correctly. Fix that and
re-generate all other patches while we are at it.

Also:
Fix camera on google-snow.
Enable video decoder.
Make boot.img smaller making kernel more modular and making FS-related
modules =y instead of =m (built-in file systems consume less space
than initramfs modules).
At the moment almost all device packages force installation of the Mesa
drivers, even when they are not used by any application (for example on
a minimal headless installation with "none" or "console" UI).
Omitting mesa-dri-gallium from such installations saves about ~150 MiB
of disk space (469 MiB -> 317 MiB rootfs for minimal installation on
arrow-db410c).
The "classic" drivers have been removed from Mesa so only one mesa-dri-
package exists now: mesa-dri-gallium contains all Mesa drivers,
llvmpipe, freedreno, lima, panfrost, Intel (iris/crocus), ...
This means we can easily create an install_if package in
postmarketos-base that installs that driver package only if needed
(= only if another package requires the "mesa" package).
Strictly speaking the install_if could be restricted further since
mesa-dri-gallium is only needed by "mesa-egl", "mesa-gbm" and "mesa-gl"
but not e.g. the Vulkan drivers. Having three postmarketos-base
subpackages (one install_if for each of them) seems a bit
overengineered, though. "mesa" is a common dependency of all three
of them, so using install_if="... mesa" should be good enough.

this also adds an explicit dependency on the font, since it may not have
been installed if postmarketos-ui-base was installed... (e.g. ui=None)
The xfce4-battery-plugin doesn't need to be installed anymore since we
switched to the "power manager plugin" in postmarketos-ui-xfce4 0.5.0.
The link to the old PostmarketOS icon isn't needed anymore for new
installations.

Reverts commit 70efe55031 for kernels that
started failing on bpo. I suspect it's caused by a change in binutils,
since I tried building linux-oneplus-billie2 with gcc6 and got the same
error (after trying other workarounds like disabling selinux for it, but
then it failed elsewhere).
