main/linux-postmarketos-qcom-msm8916: upgrade to 5.11.7

Administrator requested to merge 8916511 into mm-upgrade

Note: This MR targets the mm-upgrade branch because the ModemManager+oFono upgrade is required to make mobile data work again with this new kernel version.

linux-postmarketos-qcom-msm8916

  • Update to Linux 5.11.7
  • Upstreamed more patches
  • Switch BAM DMUX (mobile data) driver to Raw-IP mode. This makes it work with the upstream version of ModemManager, reduces overhead a bit and is overall cleaner. (contributed by @Minecrell)
  • Add QMI "memshare" driver which is needed for GPS to work on most MSM8916 devices. (contributed by @TravMurav)

  • Add SMB1360 battery/charger/OTG driver for longcheer-l8190 and wingtech-wt88047. (contributed by @Minecrell and @lazzardo)
