Evolution X 5.9: Official Polaris Build 07200639

Note:
Formatting data and clean flash are required if you come from android 10. Please do not update through OTA if you are on android 10.
Dirty flash or update through OTA is fine from the previous EvoX android 11 versions.

Device Changes:
- Etude kernel: Op.11 No.5
* an upstream fix for PS5 controller HID driver
* DO NOT use a third party kernel without proper support for Pixel thermal hal
- QDCM rework and Wide Color Gamut support
* cleaned up and modified qdcm calibration configs for JDI and EBBG panels
* properly enabled DCI P3 wide color gamut support across the system. Your screen is now able to display more colors, and colors are more accurate.
* colors in HDR videos are also fixed. HDR videos will be rendered in the correct color space with proper dynamic range.
- Fixed the color mode logic in display HAL
* your screen now correctly returns to the previous color profile after playing an HDR video or displaying DCI P3 content
* you do not need to worry about which color profile you use. Even if you use an sRGB profile most of the time, the screen will temporarily switch to a proper profile when the content is HDR or DCI P3, and switch back afterwards
* additional color mode code to ensure color profile stays the same after reboot
- Replaced writepid with corresponding task_profiles command
- Updated firmware and blobs from MIUI China Stable V12.5.1.0
