MyCroft is something definitely not everybody wants, and it could in
theory even make slower devices unusable while they would otherwise work
fine with Bigscreen. Let's move it to extras so it's optional to install
While it doesn't make sense to package a mainline kernel for FP1 (only
UART and basic SoC components supported), it's good to include the dtb
name in deviceinfo so external tools can use it.
Enable flashing kernel on update + small cleanups for deviceinfo:
* re-sort lines in deviceinfo
* remove console=tty0 from kernel cmdline, so it does not spit out
all kernel logs on the screen. Now during boot you see just
blinking cursor and pmOS logo.
* The first patch has been droped from PureOS, which currently
ships stock debian 0.99.11. Therefore the fix must have been
applied somewhere else, same as it happened with the torch patches.
* The second patch is already merged upstream and present in latest
0.99.13 release in alpine.
If the only changed apkbuilds are skipped, then the check would lint
*every* apkbuild in aports (calling '-q lint' with no packages
apparently causes it to do everything)
This quits if all packages were skipped. It fixes the CI failure seen on
MR !2600
Last update for 5.14 kernel, next one will be 5.15
Kernel config cleanup:
* enable various USB peripherals support, per user requests:
* usb webcams [m]
* usb ethernet adapters [m]
* remove support for various TV tuners and DVB cards
* enable few filesystem drivers [m], like iso9660, exFAT, ntfs
* enable kernel automounter, to use with nfs (autofs, [m])
* disable CONFIG_ARM_CPUIDLE, which gets rid of annoying message
during boot:
/cpus/cpu@0: unsupported enable-method property: qcom,kpss-acc-v2
Cpuidle is handled by another driver, which is still enabled:
CONFIG_ARM_QCOM_SPM_CPUIDLE

Rule D: Devices with secure boot and venus present in the firmware
partition need:
1. GPU firmware (firmware-qcom-adreno-a300)
2. msm-firmware-loader (for wcnss, modem, venus)
4. device-specific -wcnss-nv firmware

Reduce rootfs size a bit by installing the separated firmware packages
instead of the large linux-firmware-qcom package. Also, install the
modem firmware by default to prepare for enabling GPS.
Squash the packaged venus firmware blobs using pil-squasher so only
one file needs to be loaded rather than many small ones. Linux detects
squashed (.mbn) vs non-squashed (.mdt + .b*) based on file contents
(not file name) so it is fine to install venus.mbn to venus.mdt.
Strictly speaking firmware-bq-picmt is not needed anymore because
the msm-firmware-loader can be used to load the picmt firmware from
the firmware partitions. However, this package contains quite recent,
largely unmodified firmware from Qualcomm so it still seems useful
to keep if someone wants to test more recent firmware on some other
device (provided that their device does not verify firmware signatures).
To make this firmware package consistent with firmware-qcom-db410c,
squash the firmware blobs using pil-squasher so only one file needs
to be loaded rather than many small ones.
firmware-qcom-msm8916-wcnss is a virtual package used for MSM8916
devices without secure boot (i.e. device that do not require signed
firmware). For those it's best to install more recent firmware by
default rather than using the firmware on the firmware partition.
firmware-qcom-msm8916-wcnss is provided by firmware-qcom-db410c-wcnss
by default, however it's still useful to make it possible to switch to
the stock firmware on the firmware partition if needed. To allow that,
add a dummy msm-firmware-loader-wcnss package that provides the virtual
package using the msm-firmware-loader.
# apk add msm-firmware-loader-wcnss
(1/2) Purging firmware-qcom-db410c-wcnss (1034.2.1-r2)
(2/2) Installing msm-firmware-loader-wcnss (1-r1)
Unfortunately, at the moment MSM8916 devices always have to install
all of linux-firmware-qcom (~ 60 MiB) when they actually just use
~ 0.008 MiB of GPU firmware in there. Everything else is just big
firmware blobs for other SoCs that are never going to be useful.
It's much more efficient to package the necessary firmware separately
to save rootfs space. The DB410c linux-board-support-package contains
all the firmware from linux-firmware as well, so we can easily package
it as part of the firmware-qcom-db410c package.
This commit makes the following changes to firmware-qcom-db410c:
1. Package venus() firmware that was previously installed from
linux-firmware-qcom. GPU firmware is packaged in firmware-qcom-adreno.
2. Use new firmware paths for DB410c that were applied upstream
3. "Squash" the firmware blobs to a single file using pil-squasher
Make the package consistent with firmware-qcom-adreno packaged from
linux-firmware, but keep them separate for legal reasons. The firmware
packaged in firmware-qcom-adreno-extra does not have a proper license.

Add a new firmware-qcom-adreno APKBUILD that packages the GPU firmware
from upstream linux-firmware as separate packages. It is basically
a minimal replacement for linux-firmware-qcom that allows saving rootfs
space by installing only the firmware that is really relevant for the
device.

This seems to fix the last missing piece to getting the hotspot stuff
working, at least when it's set up with networkmanager (I haven't tested
other methods, but assume this rule is still needed there too...)
fixes#1198
The firmware provided by these subpackages is now covered by the
msm-firmware-loader, so there is no need to build packages for them
anymore.
[ci:ignore-count]
The "replaces"/"provides" should have the full package name, not just
the part of the subpackage. Also, the nonfree-firmware subpackage does
not need it because the old "device-xiaomi-wt88047-nonfree-firmware-modem-wt88047"
packages were only install_if packages without any files installed.
The files packaged in firmware-motorola-osprey-wcnss-nv and
firmware-motorola-osprey-venus seem completely identical to those
of harpia, so there is no need to package them twice. There are some
differences in modem/wcnss firmware but those are now covered by the
msm-firmware-loader.
Add sony-fusion3 firmware subpackage to enable wifi.

Touchscreen and usb networking works. Much of the hardware is the
same as on gts210velte (but that one has a qcom soc and not
exynos5433). Exactly the same touchscreen calibrarion as for
gts210velte works for this device as well.
Also include firmware package with wifi files. Unlike on many other
Samsung devices wifi does not work out of the box after these
firmware files has been added.
