Instead of erasing the entire NAND partition holding the kernel during
every system upgrade and then flashing a Yaffs file system image
prepared using kernel2minor (not accounting for bad blocks in the
process), use the Yafut utility to replace the kernel executable on
MikroTik NAND devices, preserving the existing Yaffs file system
(including bad block information) on the partition holding the kernel.
Add Yafut to DEFAULT_PACKAGES for the ath79/mikrotik target, so that the
tool is included in the initramfs images created when building for
multiple profiles. However, exclude Yafut from the images built for
MikroTik devices with NOR flash as the tool is currently only meant to
be used on devices with NAND flash.
As this addresses the concerns for MikroTik NAND devices discussed in
commit 9d96b6fb72 ("ath79/mikrotik: disable building NAND images"),
re-enable building images for these devices.

MEMREAD is a new ioctl for MTD character devices that was first included
in Linux 6.1. It allows userspace applications to use the Linux
kernel's OOB autoplacement mechanism while reading data from NAND
devices. The Yafut tool needs this ioctl to do its job.

The ramdisk used by sysupgrade on MikroTik devices currently includes
U-Boot fw_* files that are not necessary for performing a system upgrade
on that platform. The relevant lines were added to
target/linux/ath79/mikrotik/base-files/lib/upgrade/platform.sh by commit
a66eee6336 ("ath79: add mikrotik subtarget"), likely because they also
existed in target/linux/ath79/nand/base-files/lib/upgrade/platform.sh,
where the platform_do_upgrade_mikrotik_nand() function moved by commit
a66eee6336 originally lived. However, these lines were added to
target/linux/ath79/nand/base-files/lib/upgrade/platform.sh by commit
55e6c903ae ("ath79: GL-AR300M: provide NAND support; increase to 4 MB
kernel"), which is not related to MikroTik devices in any way.
Remove the code adding unused U-Boot fw_* files to the ramdisk used by
sysupgrade on MikroTik devices.

Alter the Aruba AP-105 image generation process so OpenWrt can be loaded
with the vendor Aruba APBoot.
This works by prepending the OpenWrt LZMA loader to the uImage and
jumping directly to the loader. Aruba does not offer bootm on these
boards.
This approach keeps compatibility to devices which had their U-Boot
replaced. Both bootloaders can boot the same image.
The same modification is most likely also possible for the Aruba AP-175.
With this patch, new installations do not require replacing the
bootloader and can be performed from the serial console without opening
the case.
Installation
------------
1. Attach to the serial console of the AP-105.
Interrupt autoboot and change the U-Boot env.
$ setenv apb_rb_openwrt "setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1;
setenv serverip 192.168.1.66;
netget 0x84000000 ap105.bin; go 0x84000040"
$ setenv apb_fb_openwrt "cp.b 0xbf040000 0x84000000 0x10000;
go 0x84000040"
$ setenv bootcmd "run apb_fb_openwrt"
$ saveenv
2. Load the OpenWrt initramfs image on the device using TFTP.
Place the initramfs image as "ap105.bin" in the TFTP server
root directory, connect it to the AP and make the server reachable
at 192.168.1.66/24.
$ run apb_rb_openwrt
3. Once OpenWrt booted, transfer the sysupgrade image to the device
using scp and use sysupgrade to install the firmware.

In addition to standardizing LED names to match the rest of the systems, this
commit fixes a possibly erroneous pinout for LEDs in Comfast CF-E314N v2.
In particular, rssimediumhigh and rssihigh are moved from pins 13 and 14 to
14 and 16 respectively. In addition to working on a test device, this pinout
better matches the one set out in the prototype support patch for the device
in Github PR #1873.

RA75 has 5 physical LEDs under 2 indicators, mixed with light pipes:
Indicator "System":
GPIO0: blue
GPIO2: amber
Indicator "Signal":
GPIO44: blue
GPIO37: amber
GPIO46: red
All except GPIO46 were already added by Jo Deisenhofer. GPIO46 is used for UART1 by
default, so it needs additional pin control change in devicetree to be operational.

Installation
------------
1. Grab the OpenWrt initramfs, rename it to ap3715.bin. Place it in
the root directory of a TFTP server and serve it at
192.168.1.66/24.
2. Connect to the serial port and boot the AP. Stop autoboot in U-Boot
by pressing Enter when prompted. Credentials are identical to the one
in the APs interface. By default it is admin / new2day.
3. Alter the bootcmd in U-Boot:
$ setenv ramboot_openwrt "setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1;
setenv serverip 192.168.1.66; tftpboot 0x2000000 ap3715.bin; bootm"
$ setenv boot_openwrt "sf probe 0; sf read 0x2000000 0x140000 0x1000000;
bootm 0x2000000"
$ setenv bootcmd "run boot_openwrt"
$ saveenv
4. Boot the initramfs image
$ run ramboot_openwrt
5. Transfer the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to the AP using SCP. Install
using sysupgrade.
$ sysupgrade -n <path-to-sysupgrade.bin>
