Qemu by default starts a GTK window in VGA resolution 640x480. The content
adapts to this resolution, thus X11 shows up in resolution 640x480 as well.
This resolution causes some handling issues. In Xfce4 the shutdown button of
the menu isn't reachable. Even worse in MATE, where the "Apply" button for
changing the resolution is out of the screen, making it difficult to change
the resolution.
The default resolution for X11 can be set by a config file. The Qemu GTK
window resolution remains independently at default 640x480. Setting the X11
resolution to default 800x600 mitigates the issue: Most of the screen content
becomes accessible while font size and button sizes are still large enough.
From this point the user can adjust the resolutions of the Qemu GTK window
and X11 content as desired.

Some kconfig changes to reduce kernel size to avoid conflict of 0x8000
(kernel load address) + uncompressed kernel size (arch/arm/boot/Image) +
compressed kernel size (arch/arm/boot/zImage) being bigger than
0x1e00000 (tags address).
This causes mostly silent boot failures, with CONFIG_DEBUG_LL messages
such as "no ATAGS support: can't continue" or "Error: invalid dtb and
unrecognized/unsupported machine ID" can be seen on UART, though they're
not very clear that the kernel image is essentially too big for what lk
is setting up.
Manual kconfig changes:
* Convert some =y to =m to reduce kernel size, mostly NFS_FS and CIFS
since those are quite big and there's no point in having them
built-in.
* Disable EXT2_FS & EXT3_FS - handled by EXT4 driver
* Disable PCI - unused

With the new changes in lk2nd that allow us to support extlinux.conf,
we can now generate image that would be generic to these devices.

mozjs102-dev has been removed from aports in September 2023[0] so
obviously noone has ever run this in the last year. Remove it.

Include Qualcomm display subsystem and Adreno GPU driver, along
with panel driver into initramfs.
And mark devices as GPU accelerated to allow using all the UIs.
This release has several little but neat fixes not really worth
mentioning, but most notable features are:
* Xiaomi Mi PAD 4 and PLUS (clover) *both* now have proper panel
driver and full GPU support. On par with other our devices now.
Thanks to @kubntd for code and @barni2000 for testing !
* ath10k wlan no-msa-indication hack was dropped in favor of
solution that was accepted upstream.
* Adreno 5xx preemption fixes were also included.
Manual kconfig changes:
* Switch DRM_MSM & panel driver back to =y, seems to improve display
issues a bit

- 0012-ARM-dts-allwinner-sun5i-a13-pocketbook-614-plus-Add-.patch
The dts added by this patch is now present in upstream, so this patch has
been removed. Note that the upstream dts has differences from the one that
this patch added.
- Set myself as primary maintainer since Jan has been inactive for
many months now.

It seems that bootmac's commandline argument parsing was rewritten, and
it no longer accepts multiple flags in one argument. Change the
invocation to work around that.
