Aha, thanks, makes sense.

We may run over the limit, AFAICT. I guess one solution would be to
only do this when limit is high enough...

With current setup, phone will not boot if battery is empty, so this
needs quite urgent solution.

I updated my leste, and now have:

user@...uan-droid4:~/g/droid4-linux$ uname -a
Linux devuan-droid4 6.1.9 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Mar 20 15:16:53 UTC 2023 armv7l GNU/Linux
user@...uan-droid4:~/g$ apt show linux-image-omap
Package: linux-image-omap
Version: 6.1.8.0-1+m7

Where can I find corresponding sources?

Best regards,
