At the moment we have Contributor: lines on some packages (but not all of them),
but often they don't represent the actual contributors to the package very well.
E.g. when we added them retroactively to the device packages we only added
the initial contributor (which isn't necessarily the person
who made most of the work for a device...)
The Git history is the most representative source for figuring out
who contributed to a package, so there is no reason to duplicate that
into the APKBUILD.
[skip ci]: way too many packages
- Enable speaker on samsung-gt510wifi/matissevewifi
- Replace deprecated mesa-dri-freedreno package with mesa-dri-gallium
- Build natively (this is just a trivial copy)
Changes:
- Add audio package dependency;
- Replace panel driver with one from stock kernel (thanks to bnister);
- Change keyboard layout so it's fully supported in X11.

This commit adds initial support for sprdphone sound card and sc8830-audio
device. sc8830-audio is common audio device used in different Spreadtrum SoCs.
This configuration was tested on Nobby 230 (SC7715GA), Finepower F1 (SC7731C),
Samsung Galaxy J1 mini (SC8830). It should work for many other SoCs as well.
Now, if someone wants to have somewhat working audio, they just have to add
soc-sprd-audio-sc8830 package to depends of device- package and that's it.
soc-sprd-audio is only for generic configuration (set sprdphone as default
sound card and provide headphone jack detection).
What works:
- Speaker and headphones output;
- Headphone jack detection (based on udev rules from device-xiaomi-santoni);
- Microphone works on both headphones and device itself.
Spotted issues:
- Recording volume is low;
- Recording is done only on right channel.
With the camera driver (VIDEO_EXYNOS_FIMC_IS) enabled, the system
would randomly panic during startup. Even though the camera does
not currently work on this system, the driver is nonetheless enabled
to make the flashlight work.
The panics seem to be triggered by udev's "v4l_id", which queries
capabilities of video4linux devices.
This change adds a udev rules file, to override the behavior of udev's
default rules for v4l.
- Cleanup kernel cmdline:
- earlycon can automatically detect the memory address of
the UART controller based on the device tree
- the comma before n8 in console=ttyMSM0,115200,n8 is actually
invalid so this was not parsed correctly. However, it is the
default anyway so we might as well remove it completely
- Configure deviceinfo_getty for all devices
- Workaround probe issue of display by adding a softdep on the panel
module. This allows the display to work when excluding proprietary
firmware (just a weird side effect, see comment in modprobe.conf...)
The device port gets increasingly hard to maintain with all the differences
between the downstream and the mainline kernel. Especially deviceinfo
has quite some duplication only because the downstream kernel needs to be
handled as well.
The mainline port has much more features working. The only limitation
compared to the downstream kernel is the lack of a proper charging driver.
But even on downstream postmarketOS the battery driver is not working
properly for some reason.
For charging, a downstream installation in recovery seems more suitable
at the moment. Eventually we will build some functionality into the
bootloader to load a simple downstream initramfs when the device gets
booted for charging.
The dts for oneplus bacon was already present in linux-postmarketos.
I adjusted the APKBUILD and deviceinfo to be able to use both downstream and mainline kernels
These changes enable the flashlight LED driver (fled_rt5033), and add
support for switching the light on and off from userspace.
In more detail:
* CONFIG_FLED_RT5033 enables the flashlight driver
* CONFIG_VIDEO_EXYNOS_FIMC_IS is required for the flashlight driver to
compile (there seems to be a lot of cross-dependency between the two
drivers)
* patch 0001 fixes the use of usleep (which no longer exists), to make
the kernel compile with those settings
With these changes, /sys/class/flashlight/rt-flash-led shows up in
sysfs, but it's only possible to control the brightness of the LED,
not to switch it on.
Patch 0002 is what actually makes the flashlight usable: it makes
the /sys/class/flashlight/rt-flash-led/mode file writable.
Writing "Torch" there enables the flashlight, writing "Off" disables
it again. "Mixed" mode works like "Torch" as well. I have not figured
out yet how to trigger the camera flash, so setting the mode to
"Flash" is possible, albeit pointless.
For testing changes for device categorization, it is useful to have
a device in each of the categories. The PinePhone is close to being
moved to main/, but it doesn't fulfill all requirements yet.
The QEMU "device ports" are very simple since QEMU currently only
emulates a rather limited set of hardware features. All available features
are working correctly (especially after the recent rework of the QEMU
packages). I suppose it is also usable as a "daily driver", at least for
its intended purpose (a virtual machine for testing postmarketOS changes). :)
Given that everyone can run QEMU, everyone could potentially maintain
it. For now I have added myself as maintainer since I did most of the
recent cleanup. Add drebrez as second maintainer.
Overall it seems useful to have qemu-* in main/, especially because
it is now the device that is selected by default in pmbootstrap.
linux-samsung-kminilte: adjust paths where the bcmdhd driver expects firmware
device-samsung-kminilte: add "nonfree-firmware" subpackage
firmware-samsung-kminilte: new package
firmware post-install actions:
- enable "deferred-initcalls" in sysinit for wlan0 to be available
- force wpa_supplicant to use wlan0 instead of p2p0
(both based on script from device-samsung-klte package)

- disable CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA256_ARM, since it causes the build to fail with:
arch/arm/crypto/sha256-core.S:1831: Error: thumb conditional instruction should be in IT block
This updates google-crosshatch's downstream kernel to Lineage 17.1's
version (4.9.200, shared with Lineage's Pixel 3a port).
The newer kernel is needed because this device's kernel requires a
matching dtbo partition. The previous kernel would fail to boot with an
Android 10 dtbo partition.
Two patches were removed: Android 10's bootloader no longer passes the dm
or skip_initramfs boot arguments because of the new dynamic partitions
(https://source.android.com/devices/tech/ota/dynamic_partitions/ab_legacy).
Changes from the LineageOS kernel config:
https://gist.github.com/zhuowei/89b4135ff27e88f5a3dd3e4bf3cd31ab
Tested by booting to USB networking and debug-shell: I have not tested
flashing full pmOS using this kernel yet.
For some reason, on this kernel, when pmOS can't find system partitions
during the "Trying to mount subpartitions for 10 seconds..." stage, it
waits for 70 seconds instead of 10 seconds. I'm not sure why. It does go
to debug-shell correctly after a minute.

[skip-ci]: just downloading all kernel sources takes about one hour
and ollieparanoid wants to merge it now. This already ran
successfully with [ci:skip-build] and [ci:skip-vercheck].
mesa-demos is currently broken in Alpine since it needs a rebuild.
However, a device port shouldn't force installation of something like
mesa-demos so we should remove it anyway.
* make modules_initfs same as lg-hammerhead
(fixes postmarketOS splash logos at boot)
* split out downstream-firmware and mainline-firmware
* add firmware-adreno to firmware-mainline subpkg
* prepare deviceinfo file to mainline kernel
