pine64-pinephone: build kb151 as module

build kb151 as module in pinephone kernel. Details here: https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/issues/1444#note_856266426

I'm not quite sure if this is the right way to do it. Corrections welcome.

changed title from pine64-pinenphone: build kb151 as module to pine64-pinephone: build kb151 as module

the changes to deviceinfo and the kconfig look correct. now you just need to:

• increase the pkgver= for the device-pine64-pinephone pacakge
• generate a new checksum for that package (pmbootstrap checksum device-pine64-pinephone)
• increase the pkgrel= for the linux-postmarketos-allwinner package
• generate a new checksum for that package (pmbootstrap checksum linux-postmarketos-allwinner)

added device-pine64-pinephone label

Tested pipeline artifacts on an unencrypted edge sdcard, and the kernel/device updates both boot and allow unloading/reloading of the kb151 module to make the keyboard work properly upon post-boot insertion. Neat! Loading the module does produce this message though: [ 75.924359] kb151 2-0015: Your kernel doesn't have CONFIG_IP5XXX_POWER enabled, keyboard charger support is disabled. Testing on my encrypted emmc edge install next.

Testing on an encrypted edge install: The keyboard was not detected in the decryption screen initially, but I installed the kernel again after installing the device package, and it worked on the decryption screen on the next reboot. Maybe my mistake in install order on my part. The keyboard can be added after an out-of-keyboard boot now, and just requires a module reload to work again.

I can confidently say this works as intended but do not know of any potential downsides.
