Draft: amazon-otter: add new device

Administrator requested to merge amazon-otter into master

This merge requests adds support to 1st generation Kindle Fire with mainline Linux support (v5.11.0).

I will update the wiki with an installation guide at some point. For now, it is written in my documentation repo here.

Status:

  • kernel 5.11.0 works
  • pmOS boots
  • wifi works; requires nonfree TI firmware
  • display panel works
  • omapdrm/framebuffer works
  • panel backlight partially works: on/off support only
  • touchscreen works
  • USB OTG and CDC/ACM works
  • Debug UART works
  • battery fuel gauge works
  • charger controller works
  • temperature sensor works
  • green and orange leds work
  • RTC works
  • acclerometer works
  • no GPU acceleration
  • no PWM backlight control
  • no light sensor support
  • no audio support
  • no rproc support

I am still exploring booting options and deciding whether I want an Android boot image or u-boot scripts.
