de0ed4ffbf generic: Convert incorrect generic/5.15 patches again
OpenWrt's developer guide prefers having actual patches so they an be
sent upstream more easily.

However, in the case of hack-5.15 patches which are not meant for
upstream, adding proper fields allows for `git am` to properly function.

This commit tries to rectify that, by digging in the history to find
where and how it was first added.

c3549b9319 bmips: fix external interrupt controller
- irq_domain_add_simple() can't be used on bmips since interrupts aren't
hardcoded with specific offsets for internal and external as opposed to
bcm63xx. This is needed to avoid collisions with other interrupts.
- remove unused bcm63xx-specific code.

90ad13c763 ath79: create APBoot-compatible image for Aruba AP-175
As was done in commit e11d00d44c ("ath79: create Aruba AP-105 APBoot
compatible image"), alter the Aruba AP-175 image generation process so
OpenWrt can be loaded with the vendor Aruba APBoot. Since the
remainder of the explanation and installation process is identical,
continuing the quote from that commit:

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.

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-175.
   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 ap175.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 "ap175.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.

6d33afd2b6 kernel: net: phy: realtek: fix NULL pointer dereference
The previous attempt to replace an open coded paged read in the RealTek
Ethernet PHY driver was too naive and resulted in breaking the r8169
PCIe Ethernet driver which also makes use of the RealTek Ethernet PHY
driver.
Fix this by instead of using the (not yet populated) paged operations
rather use rtl821x_write_page and protect the whole paged read operation
using the MDIO bus mutex.

- Label red_led and use it during failsafe mode and upgrades

MAC addresses as verified by OEM firmware:

097f350aeb ath79: add support for Alcatel HH40V
The Alcatel HH40V is a CAT4 LTE router used by various ISPs.

Specifications
==============

SoC: QCA9531 650MHz
RAM: 128MiB
Flash: 32MiB SPI NOR
LAN: 1x 10/100MBit
WAN: 1x 10/100MBit
LTE: MDM9607 USB 2.0 (rndis configuration)
WiFi: 802.11n (SoC integrated)

MAC address assignment
======================

There are three MAC addresses stored in the flash ROM, the assignment
follows stock. The MAC on the label is the WiFi MAC address.

Installation (TFTP)
===================

1. Connect serial console
2. Configure static IP to 192.168.1.112
3. Put OpenWrt factory.bin file as firmware-system.bin
4. Press Power + WPS and plug in power
5. Keep buttons pressed until TFTP requests are visible
6. Wait for the system to finish flashing and wait for reboot
7. Bootup will fail as the kernel offset is wrong
8. Run "setenv bootcmd bootm 0x9f150000"
9. Reset board and enjoy OpenWrt

Installation (without UART)
===========================

Installation without UART is a bit tricky and requires several steps too
long for the commit message. Basic steps:

1. Create configure backup
2. Patch backup file to enable SSH
3. Login via SSH and configure the new bootcmd
3. Flash OpenWrt factory.bin image manually (sysupgrade doesn't work)

More detailed instructions will be provided on the Wiki page.

70000ab509 ath79: use gpios for switch management in WZR-HP-G300NH variants
The RTL8366S/RB switch node in DTS defines "mii-bus = <&mdio0>" to permit
management via SMI but this has likely never worked, instead falling back
to using GPIOs in the past:

     rtl8366s switch: cannot find mdio bus from bus handle (yet)
     rtl8366s switch: using GPIO pins 19 (SDA) and 20 (SCK)
     rtl8366s switch: RTL8366 ver. 1 chip found

Recently, the rtl8366s and rtl8366_smi drivers were changed from built-in
to loadable modules. This affected driver probing order and caused switch
initialization (and network access) to fail:

     rtl8366s switch: using MDIO bus 'ag71xx_mdio'
     rtl8366s switch: unknown chip id (ffff)
     rtl8366s switch: chip detection failed, err=-19

Force using GPIOs to manage the switch by dropping the "mii-bus" DTS
definition, which works for both built-in and loadable switch drivers.

929634c4de mediatek: bpi-r3: allow up to 3W per SFP module
According to SinoVoip up to 3A @ 3.3V are available for both
SFP modules together. Raise energy limit from 1W (default) to 3W,
however, be aware that using modules consuming more than 1W will
require active cooling!

ath79: mikrotik: update kernel on NAND using Yafut
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.

kernel: backport MEMREAD ioctl
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.

ath79: mikrotik: drop unused files from ramdisk
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.

e11d00d44c ath79: create Aruba AP-105 APBoot compatible image
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.
