2020-12-11:
- rebased on top of linus/master
2020-12-07:
- rebased on top of 5.10-rc7
2020-12-05:
- modem power driver: add more powerup modes and change interface for dumb and fastboot powerup
  - you can now write 2, 3 or 4 to .../powered sysfs file to select differnt powerup mode from
    the normal one (1)
  - this is useful for selecting alternate userspace configurations early in boot to allow
    tracing the userspace processes from early on for reverse engineering, and in the near
    future, it will be used to switch between original and fully-FOSS userspace code
    running on the modem's APPS CPU on powerup
    - see https://xnux.eu/log/#028
2020-12-02:
- fix WiFi blocking suspend
- improve modem power driver interaction with kernel's autosleep
- shorten resume times from 1.2s to 400ms (wifi driver optimization)
2020-11-30:
- I improved the anx7688 driver to actually respect PD capabilities of the source,
  and don't overload it. This should make it more likely to work with the USB-C
  docks when docks are powered.
- Pine64 dock can provide either 500mA when powered from regular USB-A charger
  (regardless of what kind of charger it is, it can't use more current from it)
- With my 3A PD charger, Pine64 dock will advertise 2600mA and Pinephone will
  now respect this limit.
- rebase on linus/master (5.10-rc6 atm)
- increase I2C clock for sensors and touchscreen/anx7688 from 100kHz to 400kHz
- added patch from https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/dri-devel/cover/20200222024210.18697-1-yuq825@gmail.com/#23237865
  for easier GPU debugging (suggested by bshah)

2020-11-25:
- enable wifi power saving mode (saves 350mW in idle, and doesn't seem to break the wifi so far)
2020-11-25:

My kernel's main integration branch is 'orange-pi-$VER' (this one).
No other branch is supposed to work alone. My defconfigs are tested
and work on the boards I support. Read the README.md for more info.

Only my branches based on the current mainline kernel branch are
maintained (those are usually the -rc# kernels!). You can find the
current mainline version here https://www.kernel.org/ (mainline: ...)

My prebuilt kernels can be found at https://xff.cz/kernels/ You can
use them to test that your board works, or just run them without
bothering with building everything yourself. I run them on all my
boards.

Qualcomm driver updates for 5.12

The socinfo driver gains support for dumping information about the platform's
PMICs, as well as new definitions for a number of platforms. The LLCC driver
gains SM8250 support, AOSS QMP gains SM8350 support and the RPMPD driver gains
support for MSM8994 power domains. In addition to this it contains a few minor
fixes in the ocmem, rpmh and llcc drivers.

Qualcomm ARM defconfig updates for 5.12

This enables various device drivers found on the newly introduced
Qualcomm SDX55 platform in the qcom_defconfig. Due to kernel image size
constraints the qcom_defconfig is used instead of multi_v7_defconfig,
for now.

Qualcomm ARM64 DT updates for 5.12

This introduces initial support for the new SM8350 platform, aka
Snapdragon 888, and the MTP device for this.

It introduces new Devicetree files for the Alcatel Idol 3, ASUS Zenfone
2 Laser and BQ Aquaris X5, based on the MSM8916 platform.

It contains an overhaul of the existing MSM8992 and MSM8994 platform
files and introduces RPM power domains and SMP2P nodes. It adds
touchscreen, additional regulators, microSD card support and adds the
Sony Mobile Ivy, Karin, Suzuran and Satsuki devices. It joins the common
parts of the Lumia 950 and 950XL and extend these with support for
sensors, NFC, bluetooth, audio, microSD and Type-C mux pins.

It introduces support for the OnePlus6 and 6t, adds the missing higher
frequences for the SDM850 laptops, adds CPU cluster idle support on
SM8150  and a few tweaks to the SC7180 platform.

Qualcomm ARM64 defconfig updates for 5.12

This enables HID multitouch and TMPFS Posix ACL, for off-the-shelf
distro support on the Snapdragon laptops. It also enables display
clocks, audio configs and the LT9611UXC HDMI bridge for used on the
SM8250 and specifically RB5 board.
