Nokia 1100 Linux LTE replacement motherboard

This project is a replacement motherboard for the Nokia 1100 that runs Linux and supports LTE. It uses an Allwinner T113-S3 SoC and a Quectel EC25 LTE module, with voice calling over LTE working (tested on T-Mobile in the US, which is tricky due to carrier rules). The software runs on a MangoPi dev board, and two PCBs have been designed: a test-fit board that breaks out the phone's keypad/LCD to pin headers, and the actual full board with everything on it.
