This PR aims to fix the two main issues Samsung GKI devices encounter when using GKI 2.0 images. This is for Samsung devices which really support GKI images as some devices, despite being on 5.10+, don't support GKI images as the OEM and the SoC Manufacturer include essential drivers in the kernel image instead of shipping them as modules.
One patch is included.
Despite Samsung always adding a lot of obstacles this might really improve the situation as building kernels from Samsung sources usually takes time due to Samsung OSRC taking a lot of time to release them publicly.
Alternatively to this, a GKI variant specifically for Samsung KMIs (android12-5.10, android13-5.15, android14-6.1 and android15-6.6) can be made like is being done with ARCVM/WSA.
