linux-postmarketos-allwinner: upgrade to 5.17.4

So far, after more than 20 reboots and suspend (#1478 (comment 925262501)), #1478 (closed) seems to be resolved.

I will daily drive this kernel for the next 48 hours and get back with my feedback after.

Thanks a lot @BobbyTheBuilder for the MR and for testing, and of course @megous for the fix!

I've been running this for a few days as well, no issues. Let's ship it.

Why not m? If it is replacement for CONFIG_KEYBOARD_KB151=m (a line that was removed few lines above)

From chat:

What happened to the pinephone keyboard with 5.17 on edge? fn- turned into the F1-F10 keys, and I can no longer type the symbols. Also it's no longer built as a module so hotplugging is not possible.

@elagost:matrix.org Ok, and what of the hotplugging? I am used to 'rmmod kb151 && modprobe kb151'. Is there a way I can manipulate this new setup like that? @elagost:matrix.org Pine+1 is still just 1 for me. No symbols. That's unfortunate as my disk decryption phrase has one of those symbols in it.

Hey, that's me!

The 5.17 kernel with the new keyboard setup completely broke the keyboard for me. No hotplugging and no more symbols. Huge regression for what doesn't seem to be an edge case.

Mhhh, good question... I remember double checking its previous value so I guess I forgot a space while adjusting settings in kconfig...

@elagost if I prepare a new MR to switch it back from built-in to module, can you test it ?

By Bobby The Builder on 2022-05-02T19:21:37

I will test it on an SD card, yes, but that's not the only issue with the new setup for me.

@elagost Thank you, let's follow-up there !3108 (merged)
