Currently, the MT7530 DSA subdriver configures the MT7530 switch to provide
direct access to switch PHYs, meaning, the switch PHYs listen on the MDIO
bus the switch listens on. The PHY muxing feature makes use of this.
This is problematic as the PHY may be attached before the switch is
initialised, in which case, the PHY will fail to be attached.
Since commit 91374ba537bd ("net: dsa: mt7530: support OF-based registration
of switch MDIO bus") on mainline Linux, we can describe the switch PHYs on
the MDIO bus of the switch on the device tree.
When the PHY is described this way, the switch will be initialised first,
then the switch MDIO bus will be registered. Only after these steps, the
PHY will be attached.
Describe the switch PHYs on mt7621.dtsi and remove defining the switch PHY
on the SoC's mdio bus node. When the PHY muxing is in use, the interrupts
for the muxed PHY won't work, therefore delete the "interrupts" property on
the devices where the PHY muxing feature is in use.

Mux the MT7530 switch's phy0/4 to the SoC's gmac1 on devices where RGMII2
pins are available. This achieves 2 Gbps total bandwidth to the CPU using
the second RGMII.
The ports called "wan" are muxed where possible. On a minority of devices,
this is not possible. Those cases:
mt7621_ampedwireless_ally-r1900k.dts: lan3
mt7621_ubnt_edgerouter-x.dts: eth0
mt7621_gnubee_gb-pc1.dts: ethblue
mt7621_linksys_re6500.dts: lan1
mt7621_netgear_wac104.dts: lan4
mt7621_tplink_eap235-wall-v1.dts: lan0
mt7621_tplink_eap615-wall-v1.dts: lan0
mt7621_ubnt_usw-flex.dts: lan1
The "wan" port is just what the vendor designated on the board/plastic
chasis of the device. On a technical level, there is no difference between
a lan and wan port on MT7621AT, MT7621DAT and MT7621ST SoCs. Prefer
connecting to WAN via the port described above for these devices to benefit
the feature brought with this patch.
mt7621_d-team_newifi-d2.dts cannot benefit this feature, although it looks
like it should, because the rgmii2 pins are wired to unused components.
Tested on a range of devices documented on the GitHub PR.

The UniFi 6 Lite as well as the Tenbay T-MB5EU do not have the third
background-radar chain. For the Tenbay, the connector is present,
however no antenna is connected to it.

Currently the WAN MAC address is read from a different offset contrary
to all other addresses.
There's conflicting information whether offset 0x28 on the factory
partition contains the valid WAN mac for all devices while 0x4 seems to
be uniform.
Read the WAN mac from this location and calculate it.

Hardware
--------
MediaTek MT7621 SoC
256M DDR3
16MB BoHong SPI-NOR
MediaTek MT7905+7975 2x2T2R DBDC bgnax / acax
RGB LED
WPS + RESET Button
UART on compute module (silkscreened / 115200n8)
The router itself is just a board with Power / USB / RJ-45 connectors
and DC/DC converters. The SoC and WiFi components are on a
daughterboard which connect using two M.2 connectors.
The compute module has the model number "T-CB1800K-DM2 V02" printed on
it. The main baord has "T-MB5EU V01" printed on it. This information
might be useful, as it's highly likely either of these two will be
reused in similar designs.
The router itself is sold as Tenbay T-MB5EU directly from the OEM as
well as "KuWFI AX1800 Smart WiFi 6 Eouter" on Amazon.de for ~50€ in a
slightly different case.
Installation
------------
A Tool for creating a factory image for the Vendor Web Interface can be
found here: https://github.com/blocktrron/t-mb5eu-v01-factory-creator/
As the OEM Firmware is just a modified LEDE 17.01, you can also access
failsafe mode via UART while the OS boots, by connecting to UART
and pressing "f" when prompted. The Router is reachable at
192.168.1.1 via root without password.
Transfer the OpenWrt sysupgrade image via scp and apply with sysupgrade
using the -n and -F flags.
Alternatively, the board can be flashed by attaching to the UART
console, interrupting the boot process by keeping "0" pressed while
attaching power.
Serve the OpenWrt initramfs using a TFTP server with address
192.168.1.66. Rename the initramfs to ax1800.bin.
Attach your TFTP server to one of the LAN ports. Execute the following
commands.
$ setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.67
$ setenv serverip 192.168.1.66
$ tftpboot 0x84000000 ax1800.bin
$ bootm
Wait for the device to boot. Then transfer the OpenWrt sysupgrade image
to the device using SCP and apply sysupgrade.
