The Bananapi BPi-R3 is a development router board built around the
MediaTek Filogic 830 (MT7986A) SoC.
The board can boot either from microSD, SPI-NAND, SPI-NOR or eMMC.
Only either SPI-NAND or SPI-NOR can be used at the same time, also only
either microSD or eMMC can be used. The various storage options can be
selected using small SMD switches on the board.

Older MT7623 ARMv7 SoC as well as new Filogic platforms come with
inside-secure,safexcel-eip97 units. Enable them in DTS and select the
driver kernel module by default on those platforms.

Initially this covers MT7986 only, but it will later be expanded to cover other
Filogic branded platforms by MediaTek
