community/linux-postmarketos-qcom-msm8916: upgrade to 5.17

Administrator requested to merge 8916517 into master

This updates the linux-postmarketos-qcom-msm8916 Linux kernel fork to 5.17, adding 6 new devices, new features for 4 devices and unfortunately also dropping one device: the oppo-a51f.

@natsu1978: In case you're reading this: Unfortunately I had to drop your oppo-a51f device port because I was unable to contact you about the authorship of the patches (they're authored by a no-reply email address, but I tried the email address listed on your GitLab account with no reply). Please let me know if you're still interested in the port and I would be happy to add it back! :)
