SDM845 6.4 kernel and device improvements
Lumping these all in to make testing easier.
This upgrades to Linux 6.4, does some minor cleanup to the SDM845 devices (removing the phoc.ini config, specifying "zstd:fast" compression for the ramdisk), and attempts to improve the initramfs mount_subpartitions() function to prioritize the Android userdata partition.
On the kernel side we have support for the Yoga C630, device package hopefully coming soon (eyeing up the wonderful EFI boot improvements from craftyguy). We also have finally support for the third party touchscreens on the OnePlus 6 and 6T! Thanks a lot to @methanal for working on that.
It's been a little while, so all the testing would be appreciated, thanks!

I would definitely suggest taking a backup of your boot
partition so that you can fastboot boot
it in case something goes awry, although it ought to be fine.
Please use mrtest
for testing, instructions on how to use it are here. It'll take ~2-3 hours for the packages to build after this MR being opened.
