Tagged a new U-Boot release for some #Qualcomm phones, now supporting the OnePlus 8T (kebab), since it's what I've been using to do upstream development.

Still a bit of a pain to get started with since you need to modify your GPT to mark a partition as the ESP, you can do this using gdisk from an existing @postmarketOS installation.

Once that's done, you can build a postmarketOS image for qualcomm-sdm845 or postmarketos-trailblazer (passing --split to pmbootstrap install), flash the boot image to your elected ESP and the rootfs to userdata, and then enjoy your EFI'd phone :D

Speaking of kebab, initial support for the OnePlus 8T sent upstream! Including display and touch screen drivers which I'm really happy are in a somewhat upstreamable state.

Need to figure out the firmware situation in pmaports, but otherwise once these patches land it'll be one of the first devices supported exclusively by the postmarketos-trailblazer device with Linux next!
