planet-geminipda: add support for Planet Gemini PDA based on earlier work

This MR attempts to integrate Gemini PDA support into master from old device-planet-geminipda branch (https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/commits/device-planet-geminipda). Most of hybris-related changes (besides KWin) was merged, so it is just device and kernel aports now.

The state of hardware support is unchanged from https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Planet_Computers_Gemini_PDA_(planet-geminipda). Without hybris, it can boot to graphics with X11 fbdev driver, the included config enables correct rotation (as it has portrait display, but usable only in landscape).

For running it with hybris, which can allow for 3D acceleration, we need a way to package and provide large (http://sfos.scanf.su/geminipda/system_20181124.tar.xz) LXC image for running Halium Android container. Lately Adam Boardman from Gemini PDA community also got voice calls working in Debian install with a mix of SailfishOS middleware and Ubuntu Touch applications, which could be probably adapted for postmarketOS if needed.

Changes look very good, I've only removed the compiler-gcc6.h left-over that wasn't used anyway.

Thank you very much for making this ready for master @NotKit!

Merging when CI goes through.

So the device-planet-geminipda pmbootstrap branch can be deleted?

By Luca Weiss on 2019-01-21T07:53:44

@z3ntu yes. The only unmerged change is to build KWin with hwcomposer backend, but that's for separate PR and GitHub archived repo will still keep it just in case.
