The kernel build is technically the same as google-taimen, with some options switched around. An upcoming improvement will be to share the "wahoo" platform's kernel build with an option to switch between the two at build time, and further along the line, with modular kernels, sharing the same exact builds, but with the device-specifics as modules.
And related options.

Does this mean NixOS Mobile on Google Pixel 2 (non-XL) is stable? Should it be included in the device list? |
|
Sorry, no, it meant that 4 years ago there was tentative support added in hope that using vendor-based sources would be possible. Since then, with all that was learned, and how the overall ecosystem learned, it is obvious that it is a dead-end. See #643. To add support for any device, the device now needs to have some form of support either in mainline Linux, or in a mainline-adjacent "meant to go in mainline Linux" tree. |

This adds the port for the Google Pixel 2 (non-XL variant).
#38 can be rebased off of these changes. It should match, except for the kernel config, where these notes from the android-linux-stable project are relevant.
A common kernel solution will need to be figured out in the long run, but for now, this works.
It seems to work to parity with other devices... though sometimes the framebuffer doesn't seem to init right, but X11 always ends up starting. (Meaning that the Google bootloader logo sticks around for longer).
The next time I go around closing PRs I'll re-read this one, try to review it with a blank mind.
