videostrong-kii-pro: Initial support for the Videostrong KII Pro.

f_ requested to merge Vitali64/pmaports:device/videostrong-kii-pro into master

Initial support for the Meson GXBB-based Videostrong KII Pro TV Box (Amlogic S905). Not to be confused with the Mecool KII Pro, which uses a different SoC (the Amlogic S905D).

The Videostrong KII Pro needs a kernel with a configuration different from the mainline kernel configuration Alpine Linux uses.

This is also my first MR, so don't hesitate to give me recommendations! 😄

What works:

  • U-Boot v2020.07 (newer versions partially work)
  • mainline Linux
  • booting up postmarketOS with both the vendor U-Boot (~2015) and the mainline U-Boot
  • hardware acceleration
  • wayland and X11 (the latter needs a config file)
  • Xwayland
  • ethernet (when booting from the mainline U-Boot)
  • the 2 LEDs the device has
  • HDMI
  • USB-A
  • Wi-Fi with nonfree firmware
  • bluetooth with nonfree firmware
  • audio
  • ... (see wiki)

What doesn't work/Isn't tested: Everything else
