Welcome to Mobile Linux in 2025! Generic device packages and U-Boot :)

Initial workshop afterthoughts and notes, will write something more in depth later on the soon-to-come mainlining.org blog: - 1 Xiaomi tablet now boots mainline quite well and can boot to system from UFS - 1 Xiaomi phone can now boot mainline but fails early for yet unknown reasons - 1 Samsung phone now has a uniloader port and can boot mainline but crashes early (on first try!) - Motorola milestone is a long term project that research has been started on (1/?)
