TrekStor Surftab wintron 7.0 port

Administrator requested to merge wintron into master

This adds support for the surftab Wintron 7.0. This device is x86_64 and has a 32-bit UEFI, so I need to install 32-bit grub (AFAIK it's the only bootloader capable of loading a 64-bit kernel from 32-bit).

Some thoughts:

  • Maybe the grub setup should get in its own package to be reused for similar devices?
  • Booting from USB works; from SD the initramfs cam't find the boot partition. Is there a module missing? I just added modules till it worked. Now there are likely more than needed.
  • The screen brightness control doesn't work (also see here and here). How can I make these configurations build-in?
  • Should I use linux-vanilla or linux-postmarketos-stable ?
