aports: extract aw88261_acf.bin on-device instead of shipping it

New package fp6-vendor-blobs: a manifest-driven systemd oneshot that
copies proprietary blobs out of the stock Android partitions on first
boot. pmOS installs flash only boot+userdata, so every installed unit
still carries the stock vendor/dsp partitions - the device duplicates a
file it already contains, for its own operation, and nothing proprietary
is distributed by us. Partitions are mounted read-only (ext4 additionally
with noload - not even a journal replay touches the stock data), every
copy is sha256-pinned and a miss fails loudly, and the consuming devices
are unbound and re-probed afterwards so the feature works the same boot.

The rebind is unconditional by design: aw88261 binds on a bare i2c
chip-id probe and requests the ACF only at ASoC card init (~21 s, after
SoundWire enumeration), so a bound device can still be one that lost the
firmware race - and that failed request is never retried.

soc-fairphone-fp6-audio (pkgver 4) stops shipping the blob, installs the
manifest fragment instead, and re-runs the extractor from
post-install/post-upgrade so upgrades restore the file immediately (the
old package version removed it on upgrade). License drops back to plain
BSD-3-Clause - nothing proprietary left in the package.

Verified on the dev phone (fp6 repo journal/blobs/captures/
2026-08-24-first-boot-extractor-verification.txt): first-boot extraction
+ same-boot audio, mid-session post-upgrade recovery, and the everyday
fast-path no-op; committed files byte-identical to the tested deployment.

# First-boot, on-device extraction of proprietary blobs from the stock
# Android partitions, so the image never has to ship or distribute them.
# pmOS installs flash only boot+userdata: the stock vendor/dsp partitions
# stay on every installed unit, and the device duplicates files it already
# lawfully contains, for its own operation. Design, legal frame and the
# on-phone verification: fp6 repo journal/blobs/.
#
# Consumers depend on this package and install a manifest fragment into
# /usr/share/fp6-vendor-blobs/manifest.d/ (syntax in the extract script);
# their post-install/post-upgrade should also run
# /usr/lib/fp6-vendor-blobs/extract --if-device so a package upgrade that
# drops a previously-shipped blob restores the file immediately instead of
# at the next boot. First consumer: soc-fairphone-fp6-audio (aw88261 acf).

# fp6-vendor-blobs-extract - copy proprietary blobs out of the stock Android
# partitions instead of distributing them. pmOS installs flash only
# boot+userdata, so every installed FP6 still carries the stock vendor/dsp
# partitions: the device duplicates files it already contains, for its own
# operation - nothing is distributed by us or anyone else. Design, legal
# frame and on-phone verification: fp6 repo journal/blobs/.
#
# Manifest fragments: /usr/share/fp6-vendor-blobs/manifest.d/*.manifest,
# processed in sorted order; '#' comments and blank lines ignored:
#
# file <partition[,partition...]> <path-in-partition> <dest> <sha256>
# rebind <bus> <device>
#
# file: mount the first available listed partition READ-ONLY (ext4 also
# gets -o noload - never a byte written to the stock partitions, not
# even a journal replay), copy <path-in-partition> to <dest>, verify the
# sha256. A missing source or a hash mismatch tries the next listed
# partition; no verified copy on any of them fails the run loudly - an
# unverified blob is never installed and a missing one never silently
# skipped. Dests that already exist are left alone (no hashing: a
# deliberately replaced file stays).
# rebind: if this fragment's run extracted at least one file, unbind and
# re-probe <device> on <bus> so the consuming driver picks the file up
# in the same boot. Unconditional on purpose: a still-bound consumer may
# have already failed a deferred firmware request that is never retried
# (aw88261 binds on i2c probe but requests the ACF only at card init),
# so only a fresh probe with the file present is a known-good state.
# All of a fragment's devices are unbound first, then re-probed, so a
# shared sound card re-forms once instead of bouncing per device.
#
# Partitions resolve via /dev/mapper (the pmOS initramfs maps the dynamic
# partitions in super on every boot), then /dev/disk/by-partlabel (raw
# partitions like dsp_a), then one make-dynpart-mappings fallback run;
# mappings that run creates are removed again at the end.
#
# --if-device: exit 0 quietly when no stock super partition is visible
# (apk post-install scripts run inside build/CI chroots too; on images
# built there the first-boot service does the real extraction).

Description=Extract vendor blobs from the stock Android partitions
