WIP: sunxi: bump `edge` to 6.18

[EvilOlaf]

Description

An hacked together attempt to bump sunxi family to 6.18 in the major spirit somewhere between I-pretend-to-know-what-I-am-doing and I-have-no-idea-what-I-am-doing.

• I re-extracted all of megi's patches from their individual branches and sorted them in the same order as megi applied them to their integration branch orange-pi-6.18.
• Then I did the same with Jernej's refactored sun4i drm patches
• • Removed any sun4i drm patches from megi since they dont play along. Did zero investigation why.

Todo

• address all remaining disabled patches manually (PLEASE HELP and push your fixes into this branch)
• • patches.armbian/Add-sunxi-addr-driver-Used-to-fix-uwe5622-bluetooth-MAC-address.patch (left untouched until wifi is sorted)
• • patches.armbian/drv-gpu-drm-sun4i-sun8i_mixer.c-add-h3-mixer1.patch (I assume collides with sun4i-drm patchset??)
• • patches.armbian/drv-mfd-axp20x-add-sysfs-interface.patch ???
• fix uwe wifi. Currently it is disabled since it breaks compilation. Re-enable in drivers_network.sh
• xradio was fixed by reverting back to the origin of Igor's fork. Either sync fork or adjust wording in the drivers_network.sh

How Has This Been Tested?

• [ ] an older version of my mess has been tested on OPi1 (sunxi) and OPiZ2 (sunxi64)

@radoslavv @robertojguerra Would you mind addressing enable-TV-Output-on-OrangePi-Zero-LTE.patch ?

[EvilOlaf]

@JohnTheCoolingFan Would you mind checking Fix-ghost-touches-on-tsc2007-tft-screen.patch ? Upstream code has changed and I don't know how to address this.

The patch was not fully mainlined, particularly I don't see anything about y direction resistance which is part of Fix-ghost-touches-on-tsc2007-tft-screen.patch. I don't have the tft module to test with, so can't tell if ghost touches still happen now or not.

I noticed where u32 rt = 0; is now u64 and I think rest of this hunk also does no longer apply without modification. I don't understand the code's meaning, so I cannot tell if that makes any sense.

Asked LLM for solutions. I have no idea if there is any value in these informations. https://www.perplexity.ai/search/since-linux-6-18-the-uwe5622-w-_XeLgd1cQRyYnFsYL6m1fA#0

I think I sorted most. This needs testing against H3 H5 H6 H616 and H618 devices.

[EvilOlaf]

Tested with Opi Zero2 (H616), seems good. Did only wifi scan to see if it detects anything. No further tests. Fixup scripts are still missing (check linked issue above), but basic functionality is there either way. So this can be addressed later as well.

[EvilOlaf]

@igorpecovnik can we run a build train on this. Perhaps lowering effort level needed for testing by sending out ready to test images to volunteers with allwinner devices?
