testing/libcec-rpi Build libcec with the Raspberry Pi API only for Raspberry Pi devices

Dylan Van Assche requested to merge dylanvanassche/aports:raspberrypi-libcec into master

Adds a new package raspberrypi-libcec to enable HDMI CEC support on the Raspberry Pi. I tested this successfully on the latest kernel (5.10) on pmOS edge with Kodi as UI when adding /opt/vc to the list of paths for musl to find shared libraries.

A previous attempt was made in !2954 (closed) but we want to avoid to pull in the Raspberry Pi dependencies on all devices.

3 questions:

  • /opt is a problem? The Raspberry Pi firmware is kind of picky where the firmware is stored.
  • Who needs to be the maintainer of this package? This package is the same as the original libcec package, only some changes to the build arguments and dependencies.
  • An overide is needed to include /opt/vc/include to the list of shared library paths. What's the best way to do this in this case?
