On pocketbook, update modes are not as clear cut due to overall
chipset and kernel version mess. Inkview solves this by always
using the slowest (and safe) GC16 waveform. We now do that too
by default.
Slow updates suck though, so there's now a menu entry to configure
it for speed (with mild artifacts at best, kernel panic at worst).
This is a generic interface (any eink Screen can announce support).
The driver may interpret the slow/fast range however they want.
On devices where the event time is the uptime (time since
boot), we don't need to trash it and use TimeVal:now()
and lose precision. We can still use these times for
relative delays and durations computations, which is
mostly all we use them for.
We just need a real clock time in GestureDetector for
two timers (long-press and double tap), where we do
the event time type detection on the first event, on
all devices.
This allows for better energy efficiency (no more 50Hz tick poll),
as well as lower input lag / higher precision - touch events are
native linux ones.
In addition, auto off/suspend plugin is used in this mode, as we need
to trigger (timed) sleep / poweroff on our own, since the OS ones
will no longer work whenever koreader has focus.
This is for rooted devices only, and possibly somewhat FW
specific, so enabled only on PB740-2 where it's reasonably tested.
* PB Crash Screen:
* We don't actually support the "tap to restart now" behavior, it's a
plain sleep.
* Remove CBB toggling leftovers missed in #6696Fix#6780
* Enable AutoSuspend plugin on rM
Fix#6769
Re: #6028
* Use the PowerEvent handler on rM
It makes much more sense than the fire & forget & hope for the best
approach copied from the Kindle platform, because we *are* controlling
suspend ourselves (mostly), unlike on Kindle ;).
Fix#6676
* Enable HW inversion on the rM
I mean, we kinda forgot to ever test that, but I don't really see why it
wouldn't work ;).
* In icons mode, just use two different icons to display Wi-Fi status
* Enable Wi-Fi status icon on Kobo & Cervantes, too
* Refresh footer on (dis)connect if the Wi-Fi status item is enabled
The differences between Allwinner/MXC matter surprisingly little in practice, it's not even worth
it to bother the base mxc driver with it. Instead, frontend can make some informed choice by
probing for the hardware and tweaking requested device caps accordingly.
On Allwinner B288, we disable both hwrot (done in software in kernel and terribly, ie not worth it)
and hwinverse (no support whatsoever). On NXT we'll keep both on, as the kernel driver seems
to be using the hardware properly .
CBB now handles nightmode correctly (by deferring to Lua), so we no longer
need to do monkey dances about disabling it when hw invert is missing.
canUseCBB cap is resolved by generic device re-configuring blitbuffer
on the go, so as to avoid repeating the same thing in every device driver.
The dev setting can now flip cbb on the go, so one can gloat at the near
meaningless perf difference - 2Mp draw is 15ms Lua / 10ms C on 1GHz Cortex A7.
* Uses bunch of new plumbing in base to configure screen rotations in hardware (koreader normally does this via blit buffer rotations, except for android).
* Some PB specific kludges that used to pollute core/framebuffer_linux are brought into PBs frontend driver.
move state change event to higher level function so it will be called after powerd.is_fl_on is updated.
makes _setIntensity redundant so get rid of it

A BackgroundRunner plugin instance will stop running
(rescheduling a check every 2 seconds) when there is no
(or no more) job to run.
Clients of this service now have to emit an event after
adding a job into PluginShare.backgroundJobs, so an
already loaded but stopped BackgroundRunner can notice
it and start running again.
Out of the box, it behaves exactly as native pocketbook apps should, ie aggressive
standby, but no freezing at operations in progress.
Config UI will be done via koplugin that will also do adaptive standby. This is
because the API is now device independent (albeit PB is the only implemented user).
* Add an option to *always* flash on chapter boundaries
* Optionally, in flash on chapter boundaries mode, also flash on the *second* page of a chapter.
(There's often a large river at the top of the page on a chapter's first page)
* In CRe, request a flashing update when there is significant image content on the page.
* Register all refresh rate related options in Dispatcher, making them available in Gestures & Profiles.
