vernee-k506: proprietary firmware package

Administrator requested to merge vernee-k506-wifi into master

adding package with the MediaTek SoC firmware for the Vernee Thor in order to initialize the WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and FM Radio.

  • WiFi works, in client mode at least
  • Bluetooth seems to be running in "MTK mode" through the character device /dev/stpbt, theres a BlueZ driver from mediatek that can be enabled in the kernel. from there bluetoothctl activates but says theres no controller available. requires further investigation
  • GPS seems to be initialized but not tested
  • FM Radio seems to be initialized but not tested

in order to initialize the chip and load the firmware blobs it is required to execute both "wmt_loader" and "6620_launcher" from mediatek. i keep the patched version here: https://gitlab.com/Dahrkael/mediatek-wmt-linux but not im not sure how should i package this for pmOS or if we should at all due to the unknown legality of the sources
