#PostmarketOS: #expressatt: converting expressatt to a generic device
i'm liking the idea of a generic device encapsulating all devices in an arch. there are now generic pkgs for x86_64 and ppc64le with aarch64 in the pipeline
decided to open a pr (but more like an rfc) for how to do the same for armv7

input welcome!
side note: there's also an idea to make an arch-agnostic generic device pkg. i think this is a great idea too

#PostmarketOS: #expressatt: mainlining progress
seems like there was some infra work on linux-next that removed devices.config. this ended up breaking expressatt so had to make a pr switching to pmOS generic kernels

this generic kernel is enormous. had to modify linuxboot as the kernel and the initramfs was clobbering each other again

on the other hand, upstreaming has been extremely slow. had to poke the maintainers but hoping i can send an updated series soon
