Kernel 5.15 introduced a significant change to spi-nor subsystem [1],
which would the SPI-NOR core to no longer unprotect the Flash chips if
their protection bits are non-volatile, which is the case for MX25L6405D
and MX25L12805D, used in Ubiquiti XW and WA lines of devices [2].
However, their bootloader forcibly enables this protection before
continuing to boot, making the kernel not unprotect the flash upon boot,
causing JFFS2 to be unable write to the filesystem. Because sysupgrade
seems to unlock the flash explicitly, the upgrade will work, but the
system will be unable to save configrationm showing the following symptom
in the kernel log:
[ 86.168016] jffs2_scan_eraseblock(): End of filesystem marker found at 0x0
[ 86.192344] jffs2_build_filesystem(): unlocking the mtd device...

Disable the write protection unconditionally for ath79/generic subtarget,
so the XW and WA devices can function again. However, this is only a
stopgap solution - it probably should be investigated if there is a way
to selectively unlock the area used by rootfs_data - but given the lock
granularity, this seems unlikely.
With this patch in place, rootfs_data partition on my Nanostation Loco
M5 XW is writable again.

Regulator support was enabled on all subtargets except for ath79-nand.
With Kernel 5.10, AT803x requires Regulator support, thus enabling on
the complete target, as ath79-nand requires AT803x.
While this is only required on Kernel 5.10, enable it also on 5.4. We
have no major size-constraint, so enabling it on 5.4 allows us to clean
up the occurences in the subtarget configuration.

This board was previously supported in ar71xx as 'RUT9XX'. The
difference between that and the other RUT955 board already supported in
ath79 is that instead of the SPI shift registers driving the LEDs and
digital outputs that model got an I2C GPIO expander instead.
To support LEDs during early boot and interrupt-driven digital inputs,
I2C support as well as support for PCA953x has to be built-in and
cannot be kernel modules, hence select those symbols for ath79/generic.
Specification:
- 550/400/200 MHz (CPU/DDR/AHB)
- 128 MB of RAM (DDR2)
- 16 MB of FLASH (SPI NOR)
- 4x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, with passive PoE support on LAN1
- 2T2R 2,4 GHz (AR9344)
- built-in 4G/3G module (example: Quectel EC-25EU)
- internal microSD slot (spi-mmc, buggy and disabled for now)
- RS232 on D-Sub9 port (Cypress ACM via USB, /dev/ttyACM0)
- RS422/RS485 (AR934x high speed UART, /dev/ttyATH1)
- analog 0-24V input (MCP3221)
- various digital inputs and outputs incl. a relay
- 11x LED (4 are driven by AR9344, 7 by PCA9539)
- 2x miniSIM slot (can be swapped via GPIO)
- 2x RP-SMA/F (Wi-Fi), 3x SMA/F (2x WWAN, GPS)
- 1x button (reset)
- DC jack for main power input (9-30 V)
- debugging UART available on PCB edge connector
Serial console (/dev/ttyS0) pinout:
- RX: pin1 (square) on top side of the main PCB (AR9344 is on top)
- TX: pin1 (square) on bottom side

This commit creates the ath79/mikrotik subtarget in order to support
MikroTik devices based on Qualcomm Atheros MIPS SoCs.
MikroTik devices need a couple of specific features: the split MiNOR
firmware MTD format, which is not used by other devices, and the 4k
sector erase size on SPI NOR storage, which can not be added to the
ath79/generic and ath79/nand subtargets now.
Additionally, the commit moves the two MikroTik devices already in
the generic and nand subtargets to this new one.
Tested on the RB922 board and the wAP AC router.

jjPlus JA76PF2 (marketed as IntellusPro2) is a network embedded board.
Specification
SoC: Atheros AR7161
RAM: 64 MB DDR
Flash: 16 MB SPI NOR
Ethernet: 2x 10/100/1000 Mbps AR8316
LAN (CN11), WAN/PoE (CN6 - close to power barrel
connector, 48 V)
MiniPCI: 2x
LEDS: 4x, which 3 are GPIO controlled
Buttons: 2x GPIO controlled
Reset (SW1, closer to ethernet ports), WPS (SW2)
Serial: 1x (only RX and TX are wired)
baud: 115200, parity: none, flow control: none
Currently there is one caveat compared to ar71xx target images as the
MAC addresses are random on every reboot. To remedy this one needs to
store the WAN MAC address in RedBoot configuration. OpenWrt on first
boot, after flashing, will read out the address and assign proper ones
to both WAN and LAN ports. It is iportant to NOT keep the old
configuration when doing sysupgrade from ar71xx.
Upgrading from OpenWrt ar71xx image
1. Connect to serial port,
2. Download OpenWrt sysupgrade image to /tmp directory and flash it
with:
sysupgrade -n <openwrt_sysupgrade_image_name>
3. After writing new image OpenWrt will reboot, now interrupt boot
process and enter RedBoot (bootloader) command line by pressing
Ctrl+C,
4. Enter following commands (replace variable accordingly),
set_mac (to view MAC addresses)
alias ethaddr <wan_port_mac_adress>
(confirm storing the value by inputting y and pressing Enter)
reset
5. Now board should restart and boot OpenWrt with proper MAC addresses.
Installation
1. Prepare TFTP server with OpenWrt initramfs image,
2. Connect to WAN ethernet port,
3. Connect to serial port,
4. Power on the board and enter RedBoot (bootloader) command line by
pressing Ctrl+C,
5. Enter following commands (replace variables accordingly):
set_mac (to view MAC addresses)
alias ethaddr <wan_port_mac_address>
(confirm storing the value by inputting y and pressing Enter)
ip_adress -l <board_ip_adress>/24 -h <tftp_server_ip_adress>
load -r -b 0x80060000 <openwrt_initramfs_image_name>
exec -c ""
6. Now board should boot OpenWrt initramfs image,
7. Download OpenWrt sysupgrade image to /tmp directory and flash it
with:
sysupgrade <openwrt_sysupgrade_image_name>
8. Wait few minutes, after the D2 LED will stop blinking, the board
is ready for configuration.

This adds a shared ar7161_ubnt_routerstation.dtsi as well as two other
.dts files that utilize it, ar7161_ubnt_routerstation.dts and
ar7161_ubnt_routerstation-pro.dts.
The modifications to generic-ubnt.mk, config-default, and base-files
necessary for image generation, parsing RedBoot FIS partitions, network
configuration, and sysupgrade are also included.
This reintroduces vital bits from platform_do_upgrade_combined() and its
supporting functions to /lib/upgrade/platform.sh, which were previously
removed from ath79 in 3e9d9f6225 "ath79:
sysupgrade: drop unused platform checks". The new function is called
"routerstation_do_upgrade" and will *only* work for the RouterStation
series of boards. It does however retain the ability to downgrade (e.g.
from master -> 17.01.x using sysupgrade -F).
All hardware is functional including the AR8216 switch (for the Pro),
wireless via ath5k/ath9k using the miniPCI slots, flash, USB, button,
and LED.
Switch and LAN/WAN configuration is the same as it is with the
equivalent ar71xx targets. MAC addresses are assigned based upon the
content stored in the RedBoot config partition.
Flashing via both sysupgrade and TFTP has been confirmed to work. Also,
the initramfs images are now raw .bin files instead of being wrapped in
a uImage (as they currently are in ar71xx), which makes them bootable
with RedBoot.
One notable difference to ar71xx is the inclusion of the RedBoot
"fconfig" utility (analogous to U-Boot’s fw_printenv/fw_setenv) in
DEVICE_PACKAGES. The FIS partitions are probed using the RedBoot MTD
parser’s DT binding, whose proper usage is mutually exclusive to
defining a separate fixed-partitions node for "RedBoot config". This
config partition contains the board's base MAC address. The lack of a
hard-coded flash location means that the mtd-mac-address property cannot
be used in the .dts, so instead fconfig is used to read the MAC
addresses from flash in userspace during first boot.
