8a15a75e94 qualcommax: ipq807x: Create working factory images for EAP620 HD v1 and EAP660 HD v1
Create factory tar for EAP620 HD v1 and EAP660 HD v1 which is accepted by the stock UI.
Fix bug in ipq807x and ipq60xx makefiles so TPLINK_SUPPORT_STRING is handled properly.
Modify tplink-mkimage-2022 script and relevant makefiles to allow spaces in support strings (required for EAP620 HD v1 and EAP660 HD v1).

Installation steps are identical to EAP610-Outdoor:
Web UI method
-------------

Set up the device using the vendor's web UI. After that go to
Management->SSH and enable the "SSH Login" checkbox. Select "Save".
The connect to the machine via SSH:

    ssh -o hostkeyalgorithms=ssh-rsa <ip_of_device>

Disable signature verification:

    cliclientd stopcs

Rename the "-web-ui-factory" image to something less than 63
characters, maintaining the ".bin" suffix.
 * Go to System -> Firmware Update.
 * Under "New Firmware File", click "Browse" and select the image
 * Select "Update" and confirm by clicking "OK".

If the update fails, the web UI should show an error message.
Otherwise, the device should reboot into OpenWRT.

Installation:
=============

Web UI method
-------------

Set up the device using the vendor's web UI. After that go to
Management->SSH and enable the "SSH Login" checkbox. Select "Save".
The connect to the machine via SSH:

    ssh -o hostkeyalgorithms=ssh-rsa <ip_of_device>

Disable signature verification:

    cliclientd stopcs

Rename the "-web-ui-factory" image to something less than 63
characters, maintaining the ".bin" suffix.
 * Go to System -> Firmware Update.
 * Under "New Firmware File", click "Browse" and select the image
 * Select "Update" and confirm by clicking "OK".

If the update fails, the web UI should show an error message.
Otherwise, the device should reboot into OpenWRT.

TFTP method
-----------

To flash via tftp, first place the initramfs image on the TFTP server.

    setenv serverip <ip of tftp server>
    setenv ipaddr <ip in same subnet as tftp server>
    tftpboot tplink_eap610-outdoor-initramfs-uImage.itb
    bootm

This should boot OpenWRT. Once booted, flash the sysupgrade.bin image
using either luci or the commandline.

The tplink2022 image format
============================

The vendor images of this device are packaged in a format that does
not match any previous tplink formats. In order for flashing to work
from the vendor's web UI, firmware updates need to be packaged in
this format. The `tplink-mkimage-2022.py` is provided for this
purpose.

This script can also analyze vendor images, and extract the required
"support" string. This string is checked by the vendor firmware, and
images with a missing or incorrect string are rejected.
