community/linux-postmarketos-qcom-msm8916: upgrade to 5.17

This updates the linux-postmarketos-qcom-msm8916 Linux kernel fork to 5.17, adding 6 new devices, new features for 4 devices and unfortunately also dropping one device: the oppo-a51f.

@natsu1978: In case you're reading this: Unfortunately I had to drop your oppo-a51f device port because I was unable to contact you about the authorship of the patches (they're authored by a no-reply email address, but I tried the email address listed on your GitLab account with no reply). Please let me know if you're still interested in the port and I would be happy to add it back! :)

Recently my Device has problem with battery which is hard to find, so it's ok to drop the oppo-a51f, thanks so much!

And ... I need to focus my current business these years, thanks again,

added categoryupgrade label

resolved all threads

Boots on my a5lte

but modem integration completely fails (was not working since mm-1.18 honestly)

• detailed MM log

P.S. I think, this is modemmanager issue, not a kernel issue, therefore +1 for upgrade

approved this merge request

Patches look good, thanks a lot to everybody who worked on this!

I've added oppo-a51f to https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Renamed_Devices#Removed.

Got my approval. Since this affects so many devices, just to be sure... @Minecrell: do you want it to be merged now or wait for further testing?

approved this merge request

@ollieparanoid Feel free to merge it. I think it's definitely good enough for edge and then we can have easier testing there before the next stable release.
