Currently, we request LED labels in OpenWrt to follow the scheme
modelname:color:function
However, specifying the modelname at the beginning is actually
entirely useless for the devices we support in OpenWrt. On the
contrary, having this part actually introduces inconvenience in
several aspects:
- We need to ensure/check consistency with the DTS compatible
- We have various exceptions where not the model name is used,
but the vendor name (like tp-link), which is hard to track
and justify even for core-developers
- Having model-based components will not allow to share
identical LED definitions in DTSI files
- The inconsistency in what's used for the model part complicates
several scripts, e.g. board.d/01_leds or LED migrations from
ar71xx where this was even more messy
Apart from our needs, upstream has deprecated the label property
entirely and introduced new properties to specify color and
function properties separately. However, the implementation does
not appear to be ready and probably won't become ready and/or
match our requirements in the foreseeable future.
However, the limitation of generic LEDs to color and function
properties follows the same idea pointed out above. Generic LEDs
will get names like "green:status" or "red:indicator" then, and
if a "devicename" is prepended, it will be the one of an internal
device, like "phy1:amber:status".
With this patch, we move into the same direction, and just drop
the boardname from the LED labels. This allows to consolidate
a few definitions in DTSI files (will be much more on ramips),
and to drop a few migrations compared to ar71xx that just changed
the boardname. But mainly, it will liberate us from a completely
useless subject to take care of for device support review and
maintenance.
To also drop the boardname from existing configurations, a simple
migration routine is added unconditionally.
Although this seems unfamiliar at first look, a quick check in kernel
for the arm/arm64 dts files revealed that while 1033 lines have
labels with three parts *:*:*, still 284 actually use a two-part
labelling *:*, and thus is also acceptable and not even rare there.

The "/dts-v1/;" identifier is supposed to be present once at the
top of a device tree file after the includes have been processed.
In ath79, we therefore requested to have in the DTS files so far,
and omit it in the DTSI files. However, essentially the syntax of
the parent ath79.dtsi file already determines the DTS version, so
putting it into the DTS files is just a useless repetition.
Consequently, this patch puts the dts-v1 statement into the parent
ath79.dtsi, which is (indirectly) included by all DTS files. All
other occurences are removed.
Since the dts-v1 statement needs to be before any other definitions,
this also moves the includes to make sure the ath79.dtsi or its
descendants are always included first.

This patch adds support for the WNDR4300TN, marketed by Belgian ISP
Telenet. The hardware is the same as the WNDR4300 v1, without the
fifth ethernet port (WAN) and the USB port. The circuit board has
the traces, but the components are missing.
Specifications:
* SoC: Atheros AR9344
* RAM: 128 MB
* Flash: 128 MB NAND flash
* WiFi: Atheros AR9580 (5 GHz) and AR9344 (2.4 GHz)
* Ethernet: 4x 1000Base-T
* LED: Power, LAN, WiFi 2.4GHz, WiFi 5GHz, WPS
* UART: on board, to the right of the RF shield at the top of the board
Installation:
* Flashing through the OEM web interface:
+ Connect your computer to the router with an ethernet cable and browse
to http://192.168.0.51/
+ Log in with the default credentials are admin:password
+ Browse to Advanced > Administration > Firmware Upgrade in the Telenet
interface
+ Upload the Openwrt firmware: openwrt-ath79-nand-netgear_wndr4300tn-squashfs-factory.img
+ Proceed with the firmware installation and give the device a few
minutes to finish and reboot.
* Flashing through TFTP:
+ Configure your wired client with a static IP in the 192.168.1.x range,
e.g. 192.168.1.10 and netmask 255.255.255.0.
+ Power off the router.
+ Press and hold the RESET button (the factory reset button on the bottom
of the device, with the gray circle around it, next to the Telenet logo)
and turn the router on while keeping the button pressed.
+ The power LED will start flashing orange. You can release the button
once it switches to flashing green.
+ Transfer the image over TFTP:
$ tftp 192.168.1.1 -m binary -c put openwrt-ath79-nand-netgear_wndr4300tn-squashfs-factory.img

All definitions of gpio in SoC DTSI files do not set status, i.e.
have it enabled. This drops all remaining redundant "status = okay"
definitions in descendent files (mostly older ones).

Change the caldata partition DTS node label to be consistent with
the label property for some Netgear WNDR devices.

Netgear WNDR routers (AR9344 models) like WNDR4300 have 128 MiB of flash
memory but only first 32 MiB are used now - both by vendor's firmware and
OpenWrt. This patch concatenates two regions of flash memory: ubi part
of firmware partition and reserved (unused) space beyond 'caldata_backup'
while preserving ART backup. No data is wiped or moved away.
This increases area for OS ubi volumes from 23 to 119 Megabytes.

The "/dts-v1/;" identifier is supposed to be put once at the beginning
of a device tree file. Thus, it makes no sense to provide it a second
time in to-be-included DTSI files.
This removes the identifier from all DTSI files in /target/linux.
Most of the DTS files in OpenWrt do contain the "/dts-v1/;". It is
missing for most of the following targets, though:
mvebu, ipq806x, mpc85xx, ipq40xx
This does not touch ipq806x for now, as the bump to 4.19 is close.
