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).
trailblazer is a bleeding edge, unstable target for EFI capable ARM64
devices. It runs linux-next and should otherwise be adjusted to support
as many devices as possible.
The goal of trailblazer is to motivate more upstream kernel development by
providing a tighter feedback loop (patches land in -next weeks before they
make it into mainline or stable), as well as encouraging more generic
solutions to the device specific hacks we have in userspace.
On supported devices, trailblazer should reflect the current state of
upstream. It allows users to easily appreciate what feature are
unavailable, and more importantly appreciate when a new feature does get
added upstream.
Due to the instability of linux-next, the plan is to have BPO build
trailblazer images nightly, so if next breaks then the images should
only be broken for a day.

Introduce a linux-next kernel with postmarketOS configs and some
additional device specific configs enabled.
This kernel package will be updated daily to the latest -next tag.
breakages expected. It is designed to be used in tandem with a generic
ARM64 device package to provide a bleeding edge option for those with
EFI capable bootloaders.

Depend on msm-firmware-loader, firmware- and soc- packages.
Sort deps alphabetically.
Tidy up deviceinfo:
* add flash_kernel_on_update
* remove unneded things from kernel cmdline

Currently it requries the check_code result check in the
vendor uboot to be disabled as explained in the wiki.
Booting directly via reconfigured boot order still
does not work. It hangs somewhere in the kernel.
Firmware for Wifi/BT is not included yet.
It could use the linux-postmarketos-omap kernel in the future,
but there are still some dirty things in there e.g. for sound
which are not suitable for a multi-device kernel.

PineTab 2 is a successor to the original PineTab from PINE64 released
in mid-2023.
The tablet came with DanctNIX's fork of Arch Linux ARM, comes with
K Desktop Environment as the UI and available with 64GB eMMC/4GB RAM
or 128GB eMMC/8GB RAM.
Changelog since 6.7:
General:
* Adreno 5xx preemtion is now disabled due to hangs it causes.
This makes GPU a lot more cooperative on these platforms.
* Fixed absence of zap-shader region which caused devices with
GPU enabled to freeze the whole system.
* Fixed ath10k Wi-Fi not connecting to 5Ghz networks.
* Incorporated in-kernel pd-mapper patchset, therefore userspace
pd-mapper daemon is not required.
* Kernel cmdline from bootloader is no longer ignored completely,
in other words, not hardcoded. You can now modify cmdline in
deviceinfo file and changes in that file will not be ignored.
Devices:
* Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 (lavender):
* split device trees into 2 variants by panel type (Tianma & BOE)
* GPU + panel support for 2 variants
* Vibrator support
* Connectivity: modem, Wi-Fi and bluetooth support.
* Other/all devices:
* update device trees according to upstream USB stack changes
(related to USB 3 phy support)
Install script into /etc/profile.d with workaround for mesa bugs.
This makes most SDM660 devices usable for general people out of the box.

Add msm-firmware-loader, soc-qcom-sdm660-rproc, firmware-xiaomi-lavender
and firmware-qcom-adreno-a530 as dependency. This is necessary to make
Wi-Fi and modem work.
Add support for panel drivers.
Phoc now defaults to 1,25 as scale on skomer, which while not perfect,
is good enough and lets the device be unlocked. As such, let's remove
this configuration file and encourage improvements upstream instead.
