It was reported that some rb912 boards (ar934x) have issues with some ethernet speeds.
Investigation shows that the board failed to adapt the ethernet pll values as shown here:
[ 5.284359] ag71xx 19000000.eth: failed to read pll-handle property
added custom prints in code and triggering a link switch:
[ 62.821446] Atheros AG71xx: fast reset
[ 62.826442] Atheros AG71xx: update pll 2
[ 62.830494] Atheros AG71xx: no pll regmap!
Comparison with another very similar board (rb922 - QCA955x) showed a missing
reference clock frequency in dts, which seems to cause a pll init issue.
Unfortunately, no errors are printed when this occurs.
Adding the frequency property fixes the pll init as it can be parsed now
by the ethernet driver.
[ 55.861407] Atheros AG71xx: fast reset
[ 55.866403] Atheros AG71xx: update pll 2
[ 55.870462] Atheros AG71xx: ath79_set_pllval: regmap: 0x81548000, pll_reg: 0x2c, pll_val: 0x02000000

BCM4908 devices with U-Boot use pkgtb firmware format. It's based on
U-Boot's FIT: DTB with configurations, images & embedded data.
This format contains bootfs, rootfs and optionally a first stage U-Boot
loader. Contained images need to be extracted & flashed.
Broadcom used two sets of firmwares: main & backup. It uses UBI volumes
"metadata1" & "metadata2" for storing U-Boot env variables with info
about flashed images.

While on Linux 5.10 this fixes Ethernet link status on all ports and
makes 2.5G ports usable in 2.5G and 1G full-duplex mode, when using
Linux 5.4 and backported Aquantia phy patches, only 1G mode works on
the 2.5G ports and link speed and duplex are not reported correctly
from the phy in case of 2.5G.
The reasons are probably trivial, but hard to find. As having all
ports work at least in 1G speed instead of having them not work at
all is still better, push this anyway for now.

In there linux-firmware repository located in kernel, there were removed old
broadcom firmware [1] as they seem to be likely vulnerable to KrØØk vulnerability
(CVE-2019-15126), because Cypress released new versions and superseded
by it.
In OpenWrt, there is Makefile for cypress-firmware, which already provides
the same named packages like it was in linux-firmware. For example, cypress-firmware-43455-sdio
provides brcmfmac-firmware-43455-sdio [2].

where to begin? the USB regulator settings were just
a part of the issue. With them changed, according to
the forum it still failed when a USB device was
connected to the port with:
dwc2 4bff80000.usbotg: dwc2_restore_global_registers: no global registers to restore
dwc2 4bff80000.usbotg: dwc2_exit_partial_power_down: failed to restore registers
dwc2 4bff80000.usbotg: exit partial_power_down failed
dwc2 4bff80000.usbotg: HC died; cleaning up
One clue was found upstream in
commit cc10ce0c51b1 ("usb: dwc2: disable power_down on Amlogic devices")
|Disable power_down by setting the parameter to
|DWC2_POWER_DOWN_PARAM_NONE. This fixes a problem on various Amlogic
|Meson SoCs where USB devices are only recognized when plugged in before
|booting Linux. A hot-plugged USB device was not detected even though the
|device got power (my USB thumb drive for example has an LED which lit
|up).

the same method proposed there worked with APM821xx's USB IP-Core.

(cherry picked from commit 494c033f9c)
New BCM4908 family based routers will use U-Boot bootloader. That will
require using a totally different firmware format. Kernel has to be put
in a FIT image.
OpenWrt has some helpers for generating .its files but they don't fit
BCM4908 requirements and there is no simple way of extending any of
them. The best solution seems to be storing an .its template.
BCM4908 bootfs may:
1. contain extra binaries (other than kernel & DTB)
2. include multiple DTB files
3. store device specific U-Boot configurations with custom properties
Such setups are too complex to generate using shell script. Raw .its
file on the other hand seems quire clean & reasonable.

(cherry picked from commit a02c971dff)
List of supported formats grew over time and implementation got a bit
messy. There are multiple functions with format-specific parameters and
commands.
Refactor it by making platform_identify() setup all required info right
after detecting firmware format. This simplifies formats handling in
platform_other_check_image() and platform_do_upgrade() a lot.
This has been tested on:
1. SmartRG SR400ac (TRX): non-NAND sysupgrade
2. Netgear R8000 (CHK): NAND aware and standard sysupgrade-s

SSH server on the router).
Create Full Backup
1. Obtain SSH Access.
2. Create backup of all flash (on router):
dd if=/dev/mtd0 of=/tmp/ALL.backup
3. Copy backup to PC (on PC):
scp root@192.168.31.1:/tmp/ALL.backup ./
Tip: backup of the original firmware, taken three times, increases the
chances of recovery :)

Debricking (lite)
If you have a healthy bootloader, you can use recovery via TFTP using
programs like TinyPXE on Windows or dnsmasq on Linux. To switch the router
to TFTP recovery mode, hold down the reset button, connect the power
supply, and release the button after about 10 seconds. The router must be
connected directly to the PC via the LAN port.
Debricking
You will need a full dump of your flash, a CH341 programmer, and a clip
for in-circuit programming.
Install OpenWRT
1. Obtain SSH Access.
2. Create script (on router):
echo '#!/bin/sh' > /tmp/flash_fw.sh
echo >> /tmp/flash_fw.sh
echo '. /bin/boardupgrade.sh' >> /tmp/flash_fw.sh
echo >> /tmp/flash_fw.sh
echo 'board_prepare_upgrade' >> /tmp/flash_fw.sh
echo 'mtd erase rootfs_data' >> /tmp/flash_fw.sh
echo 'mtd write /tmp/openwrt.bin firmware' >> /tmp/flash_fw.sh
echo 'sleep 3' >> /tmp/flash_fw.sh
echo 'reboot' >> /tmp/flash_fw.sh
echo >> /tmp/flash_fw.sh
chmod +x /tmp/flash_fw.sh
3. Copy `openwrt-ath79-generic-xiaomi_aiot-ac2350-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin`
to the router (on PC):
scp openwrt-ath79-generic-xiaomi_aiot-ac2350-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin \
root@192.168.31.1:/tmp/openwrt.bin
4. Flash OpenWRT (on router):
/bin/ash /tmp/flash_fw.sh &
5. SSH connection will be interrupted - this is normal.
6. Wait for the indicator to turn blue.

The board has a fixed size kernel partition but do not limit the kernel
size during image building.
Disable image building for both boards as well, since the kernel of the
last release as well as master are to big to fit into the 2 MByte kernel
partition.

Allow RAM size to be passed thru U-Boot. There are 128MB and 64MB
versions of Minew G1-C. This is also in line with the behaviour of
most other RAMIPS boards.

This patch removes CONFIG_MTD_SPI_NOR_USE_4K_SECTORS from the default
symbols for the ath79/mikrotik target.
MikroTik devices hold some of their user-configurable settings in the
soft_config partition, which is typically sized 4 KiB, of the SPI NOR
flash memory. Previously, in the ar71xx target, it was possible to use
64 KiB erase sectors but also smaller 4 KiB ones when needed. This is
no longer the case in ath79 with newer kernels so, to be able to write
to these 4 KiB small partitions without erasing 60 KiB around, the
CONFIG_MTD_SPI_NOR_USE_4K_SECTORS symbol was added to the defaults.
However, this ended up making sysupgrade images which were built with
64 KiB size blocks not to keep settings (e.g., the files under
/etc/config/) over the flashing process.
Using 4 KiB erase sector size on the sysupgrade images (by setting
BLOCKSIZE = 4k) allows keeping settings over a flashing process, but
renders the process terribly slow, possibly causing a user to
mistakenly force a manual device reboot while the process is still on-
going. Instead, ditching the 4 KiB erase sectors for the default
64 KiB erase size provides normal SPI write speed and sysupgrade times,
at the expense of not being able to modify the soft_config partition
(which is rarely a required thing).
An OpenWrt patch for MTD_SPI_NOR_USE_4K_SECTORS_LIMIT may once have
allowed to use different per-partition erase sector sizes. Due to
changes on recent kernels it now only works on a per-device basis.
Also, partial eraseblock write can be performed in ath79 with kernels
5.4 and lower, by copying the blocks from the 64 KiB, erasing the whole
sector and restoring those blocks not meant to be modified. A kernel
bump had that patch broken for a long time, but got fixed in bf2870c.
Note: the settings in the soft_config partition can be reset to their
defaults by holding the reset button for 5 seconds (and less than 10
seconds) at device boot.
