Currently, the MT7530 DSA subdriver configures the MT7530 switch to provide
direct access to switch PHYs, meaning, the switch PHYs listen on the MDIO
bus the switch listens on. The PHY muxing feature makes use of this.
This is problematic as the PHY may be attached before the switch is
initialised, in which case, the PHY will fail to be attached.
Since commit 91374ba537bd ("net: dsa: mt7530: support OF-based registration
of switch MDIO bus") on mainline Linux, we can describe the switch PHYs on
the MDIO bus of the switch on the device tree.
When the PHY is described this way, the switch will be initialised first,
then the switch MDIO bus will be registered. Only after these steps, the
PHY will be attached.
Describe the switch PHYs on mt7621.dtsi and remove defining the switch PHY
on the SoC's mdio bus node. When the PHY muxing is in use, the interrupts
for the muxed PHY won't work, therefore delete the "interrupts" property on
the devices where the PHY muxing feature is in use.

Installation
-----------------
1. Login to the router web interface (default http://192.168.0.1/)
under "admin" account
2. Navigate to Settings -> Configuration -> Save to Computer
3. Decode the configuration. For example, using cfgtool.py tool (see
related section):
cfgtool.py -u configurationBackup.cfg
4. Open configurationBackup.xml and find the following block:
<OBJECT name="User." type="object" writable="1" encryption="0" >
<OBJECT name="1." type="object" writable="1" encryption="0" >
<PARAMETER name="Password" type="string" value="<some value>" writable="1" encryption="1" password="1" />
</OBJECT>
5. Replace <some value> by a new superadmin password and add a line
which enabling superadmin login after. For example, the block after
the changes:
<OBJECT name="User." type="object" writable="1" encryption="0" >
<OBJECT name="1." type="object" writable="1" encryption="0" >
<PARAMETER name="Password" type="string" value="s0meP@ss" writable="1" encryption="1" password="1" />
<PARAMETER name="Enable" type="boolean" value="1" writable="1" encryption="0"/>
</OBJECT>
6. Encode the configuration. For example, using cfgtool.py tool:
cfgtool.py -p configurationBackup.xml
7. Upload the changed configuration (configurationBackup_changed.cfg) to
the router
8. Login to the router web interface (superadmin:xxxxxxxxxx, where
xxxxxxxxxx is a new password from the p.5)
9. Enable SSH access to the router (Settings -> Access control -> SSH)
10. Connect to the router using SSH shell using superadmin account
11. Run in SSH shell:
sh
12. Make a mtd backup (optional, see related section)
13. Change bootflag to Sercomm1 and reboot:
printf 1 | dd bs=1 seek=7 count=1 of=/dev/mtdblock3
reboot
14. Login to the router web interface under admin account
15. Remove dots from the OpenWrt factory image filename
16. Update firmware via web using OpenWrt factory image
Revert to stock
---------------
Change bootflag to Sercomm1 in OpenWrt CLI and then reboot:
printf 1 | dd bs=1 seek=7 count=1 of=/dev/mtdblock3
mtd backup
----------
1. Set up a tftp server (e.g. tftpd64 for windows)
2. Connect to a router using SSH shell and run the following commands:
cd /tmp
for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; do nanddump -f mtd$i /dev/mtd$i; \
tftp -l mtd$i -p 192.168.0.2; md5sum mtd$i >> mtd.md5; rm mtd$i; done
tftp -l mtd.md5 -p 192.168.0.2
