Update ov5640 autofocus related patch. We had it working with Martijn's
patch in 5.9.1_git20201019-r2 (MR 1654), but then dropped the patch in
favor of the patch that was added to megi's tree in 5.9.3_git20201101
(MR 1678).
It turns out that the patch added to megi's tree was different than the
patch we were carrying, it was a WIP version where loading the autofocus
firmware did not work anymore.
Megi decided to drop the autofocus patch from his tree for now, as the
firmware uploader takes more time in Martijn's proper patch. According
to Martijn it takes about a second, which seems reasonable for the
postmarketOS use case. I've added the previous version again as
out-of-tree patch.
Martijn found that for some reason the continuous autofocus still
doesn't want to start with this kernel and current patch version, as for
some reason the firmware load fails. But he extended the patch to make
autofocus work again with "tap to focus" at least.
0005-dts-pinephone-Disable-flash-led-in-OV5640-node.patch is not needed
anymore, the same change is in megi's tree.

The devices supported by this package are Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300, GT-I9305,
SHV-E210K/L/S) and the Galaxy Note 2 (GT-N7100, GT-N7105) - a family of
boards also known by the codename "Midas" - and the Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100)
From this list, only the i9100 doesn't support the bootimg method.
Because of this, this kernel package is using the isorec method for all
the devices on the list. Additionally, for the midas devices, there is
no problem with this because the boot.img file is, in fact, a copy of
the kernel+initramfs on the pmos boot partition and what the isorec
initramfs does is actually to load the initramfs on that partition
directly (at least on my understanding).
Use the dtb-appended kernel file, e.g. postmarketos-exynos4-dtb instead
of postmarketos-exynos4, if it is available. This is needed to flash a
mainline kernel with appended dtb to isorec devices.
This patches from the megi solves the issue of the MIPI-DSI panels
framerate being at 2/3rd of actual or expected rate.

Squeekboard >= 0.10.0 looks for an a11y setting to determine if it
should show up on the screen. This sets the config setting to 'true' so
that it shows up by default. It can apparently be toggled off in Gnome
Settings, but I haven't found the UI switch to do that yet..
Switch from the 5.8.x kernel with allwinner specific patches to megi's
5.9 based tree. He drives the PinePhone related kernel development
forward like no other, his tree and changes are well documented on
xnux.eu, and he frequently publishes tested "build this one" commits with
the latest improvements. It makes a faster and less time consuming
workflow to simply package these versions (after a smoke test) into
postmarketOS edge, and after some time to catch possible regressions
ship the same version in postmarketOS stable.
This kernel should make HDMI work for most people, and improve call
quality (thanks to smaeul's patches, which are integrated into megi's
tree).
Kernel config changes:
* Enable MODEM_POWER in the kernel config, among other improvements this
allows us to get rid of the 30s delay on power off.
* Enable CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_ILITEK_ILI9881C (new PineTab panel)
* Enable CONFIG_ZRAM
* Enable CONFIG_HID_MULTITOUCH
