linux-postmarketos-qcom: Remove composite usb gadget for networking

This removes the precomposed usb gadget from the kernel config and enables the configfs usb gadget modules. This makes the usb networking on the hammerhead come up reliably

@MartijnBraam also the sony sirius uses the linux-postmarketos-qcom kernel, maybe someone have to check if it still works also there?

Yeah this definitely needs some multiple device testing

Hmm it looks like that's a change from running menuconfig on 4.17-rc4 while the old config was for 4.16

By Martijn Braam on 2018-05-04T09:33:07

This is the least amount of changes I can get it to do with menuconfig, I'm not sure how to make the QMI_HELPER a module again, it changes it on its own when you run menuconfig without touching anything.

By Martijn Braam on 2018-05-05T09:48:08

Thinking about please disable, SAMPLE_QMI_CLIENT and effectively QMI_HELPER... as those I had enabled for testing something locally and then those slipped into config for aports but those are not needed

There is some super weirdness is going on, but I don't think is related to this PR, selecting weston makes it not start device at all for some reason which I believe is kernel panic/hang or something.. But I don't think it's related to this PR at all since this PR doesn't touch the graphics part at all and is good to go IMO.

I've bumped the pkgrel, now waiting on testting on the sirius @opendata26

USB Network is not working on sirius. I've tried with no kernel configuration changes, and I've enabled CONFIG_USB_ETH and CONFIG_USB_ETH_RNDIS. No luck both ways.

I was able to connect phone to wifi and ssh to it, and I see, there is no network interface for USB Network. I have dummy interface and wlan, but no USB network interface.

What can I do to enable USB network and how can I help with testing something else on sirius?
