linux-postmarketos-qcom-sdm845: upgrade to 5.16-rc4

Finally a new upgrade! This brings along some minor driver changes and improvements, more stuff slowly landing upstream.

We also get a few new splats during boot, these are inevitable at this point due to fw_devlink changes and large reworking of the drm/msm code, they are caused by the common clock framework not knowing that some clocks are left enabled by the bootloader, it panics when they aren't in a state it expects. They are harmless as far as I know.

We now have a very rudimentary smb2 charger driver, uncovering a bug in G-C-C where "USB" type power supplies are treated as batteries. It may also partially fix the slow charging speeds previously experience, although I haven't had a chance to test this properly.

Will mark as ready once Joel and others have tested it and confirmed we haven't broken any devices.

Do you have a bug report or a more detailed description? Upstream is usually slow merging stuff, but we already have a fork of gnome-control-center, so we could get the fix faster than usual :)

Can you make a separate update to some stable kernel for the upcoming v21.12 branch? A release candidate kernel is not really suitable for that, especially not a -rc1. If 5.15 doesn't work, you could update the existing kernel to 5.14.19 (which was just released today).

Personally I'm not opposed to having -rcs in edge/master (but maybe @minlexx would like to object?), but we should really have stable versions on the release branch.

I think we are ready for the new kernel release. Works fine in Poco F1 (Tianma variant).
