v21.12 service pack 5

The usual service pack discussion issue, suggestions welcome.

• backport !3097 (merged) with suspend to ram fix (apparently rarely appears on the 5.13 kernel from v21.12, but there's one report for it)
  • has keyboard regressions, so better not backport it for now
• SDM845 5.17 --> 5.17.5 kernel upgrade (!3118 (merged))
• community/linux-postmarketos-qcom-msm8996: upgrade to 5.17.6 (!3126 (merged))
• community/linux-samsung-espresso3g: Fix WiFi reboot issue (!3130 (merged))
• maybe postmarketos-tweaks 0.12.0? (!3129 (merged))

ETA: CW 19

added release-v21.12 service-pack-discussion labels

Finish up the current service pack:

• after merging patches into pmaports master or aports master, that we want to have in the service pack: either just immediately cherry-pick it to the branch (no merge request and not much code review, we'll review before releasing it), or add it as TODO checkbox to the service pack discussion issue
• update the version number in the rootfs-etc-os-release file in the postmarketos-base package to add/update the service pack number after the regular branch version
• shortly (~1 week) before releasing the service pack, create the merge request
  • add the following labels:
    • release-vYY.MM
    • backport
  • enable the checkbox to delete the branch after merge after merging the service pack:
  • homepage:
    • publish a blog post with a short overview of changes
      • add one good photo at the top (when in doubt ask Martijn)
      • one bullet point with exact version and related link (usually changelog) for updated components
      • as usually, create a merge request, make sure the team sees and reviews it
    • (do not change latest_release/latest_release_title in config/download.py!)

Prepare the next service pack (right after releasing the current SP):

=> after v21.12 SP5, we'll do the v22.06 release!

What about SDM845 5.17 --> 5.17.5 kernel upgrade?

!3118 (merged)

By Dylan Van Assche on 2022-05-11T07:46:59

@amartinz, @calebccff, @InsanePrawn: thoughts on adding this to the service pack, and do we need !3127 (merged) too?

By Oliver Smith on 2022-05-11T07:46:59

Yes please! Lets get stable kernel upgrades in.

We don't need !3127 (merged), it doesn't affect the devices at the minute.

By Caleb Connolly on 2022-05-12T07:33:37

Can we get !3126 (merged) in once its merged?

mentioned in merge request !3130 (merged)

By Antoni Aloy Torrens on 2022-05-12T13:51:37

Could we also get !3130 (merged) in? It fixes a very annoying WiFi reboot issue on samsung-espresso3g (and samsung-espressowifi). It could be great to backport it.
