Installation
Port not upstreamed yet;
uniLoader
This device has trouble booting mainline Linux because Samsung uses device tree fragments, and the combined device tree can disrupt the boot process. To address this, we use a secondary bootloader called uniLoader, which we have specifically adapted for the S22. Standard bootloaders are not supported. Only uniLoader will work here.

Notes
- USB needs a replug to work properly (still charges anyway)
- Battery monitoring can't be added - missing max77705 driver
