Without that the console is flooded by crashes

HACK: switch to system-as-root

2019-05-21T13:30:29+00:00

From dmesg:
  mmcblk2: p1 p2 p3 p4 p5 p6 p7 p8 p9 p10 p11 p12

TODO:
- The command line should not be hardcoded
- It's better to use a name instead of hardcoding the partition
  block device. /dev/disk/by-partlabel/SYSTEM or something like that
  would be better.

replicant_i9300_defconfig: cmdline: remove earlyprintk

2019-05-20T15:16:45+00:00

This option is typicaly used when the serial console driver
is not working properly or when the kernel is crashing before
having the opportunity to enable the serial console driver.

HACK: Use serial console

The use of CONFIG_CMDLINE_FORCE should be revisited, and using
the Android bootimage or some other means to set the cmdline
could be used if the bootloader that is used doesn't stand in
the way.

replicant_i9300_defconfig: Use XZ compression

2019-05-18T11:11:26+00:00

The i9300 boot partition size is 8192 KiB. Without that fix,
the resulting boot.img size is slightly over 8192 KiB.

HACK: Add i9300 defconfig to create a zImage-dtb

2019-05-18T11:11:16+00:00

Currently the AOSP or LineageOS build configuration lack
a way to append a dtb to the kernel image[1].

This adds the necessary configuration to do that, which
depends on the following commit:
  93c1eb8ea30b ANDROID: ARM: convert build of appended dtb zImage to list of dtbs
  c1cb2ea535c5 ANDROID: ARM: add config option to build zImage/dtb combo

The defconfig is based on midas_defconfig:
  $ diff -u midas_defconfig replicant_i9300_defconfig
  +CONFIG_BUILD_ARM_APPENDED_DTB_IMAGE=y
  +CONFIG_BUILD_ARM_APPENDED_DTB_IMAGE_NAMES="exynos4412-i9300"

Ideally this should be instead handled outside of the kernel, for
instance in a bootloader or in the build system assuming there is
in a way to do it that can easily be maintained and rebased.

ANDROID: ARM: convert build of appended dtb zImage to list of dtbs

2019-05-17T23:38:05+00:00

Allow CONFIG_BUILD_ARM_APPENDED_DTB_IMAGE_NAMES to specify
a space separated list of dtbs to append to the zImage,
and name the resulting file zImage-dtb
