Hi Michael,

Thanks for reviewing! I fixed your remarks, it still works fine. You'll
find v2 attached.

Subject: [PATCH v2] Add coreutils 'ls' support for tramp adb

Support some Android derived systems where 'ls' binary is provided by
GNU Coreutils.

* lisp/net/tramp-adb.el (tramp-adb-ls-toolbox-regexp): Allow '.'
character in file permissions. It indicates an SELinux security
context.
(tramp-adb-get-ls-command): Detect Coreutils version of 'ls'. Force
output on one column and long-iso time style to match the behaviour of
toybox and busybox 'ls' commands.
