The mac80211 driver backport has been updated to version 6.11. Let's
also push ath10k-ct driver forward. The unsupported feature
'NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_ETHTOOL_VDEV_STATS' has been dropped since it
looks like something for debugging and not supported by the mainline.

Use ath10k-ct 6.9 to better match mac80211 backports 6.9.x
Drop patch 010 that is merged upstream.
Add patch 001 to fix version to 6.9 (overlooked by upstream).
Refresh patches.

Adjust our local ath10k-ct patches to the change
from the -ct 6.2 version to 6.4.
This restores e.g. the LED functionality.

ath10k-ct now offers 6.2 and 6.4 versions, so lets update to use 6.2
so we can get rid of the API update patch as well as NVMEM as that is
already present in the newer driver.
Ben merged the debug compilation patch so we can remove that one as well.
Update patches to point to 6.2 version and refresh them.

- The three WiFis were fully tested and are configured with the same settings as in the vendor firmware.
- The specific board files were submitted to the ATH10k mailing list but I'm still waiting for a reply. They can be removed once they are approved upstream.
- Two ethernet ports are accessible on the device. By default one is configured as WAN and the other one is LAN. They are fully working.
Bluetooth:
========
- Fully working with the following caveats:
- RFKILL need to be enabled in the kernel.
- An older version of bluez is needed as bccmd is needed to configure the chip.
Zigbee:
======
- The spidev device is available in the /dev directory.
- GPIOs are configured the same way as in the vendor firmware.
- Tests are on-going. I am working on getting access to the Silicon Labs stack to validate that it is fully working.
Installation:
=========
The squash-factory image can be installed via the Linksys Web UI:
1. Open "http://192.168.1.1/ca" (Change the IP with the IP of your device).
2. Login with your admin password.
3. To enter into the support mode, click on the "CA" link and the bottom of the page.
4. Open the "Connectivity" menu and upload the squash-factory image with the "Choose file" button.
5. Click start. Ignore all the prompts and warnings by click "yes" in all the popups.
The device uses a dual partition mechanism. The device automatically revert to the previous partition after 3 failed boot attempts.
If you want to force the previous firmware to load, you can turn off and then turn on the device for 2 seconds, 3 times in a row.
It can also be done via TFTP:
1. Setup a local TFTP server and configure its IP to 192.168.1.100.
2. Rename your image to "nodes_v2.img" and put it to the TFTP root of your server.
3. Connect to the device through the serial console.
4. Power on device and press enter when prompted to drop into U-Boot.
5. Flash the partition of your choice by typing "run flashimg" or "run flashimg2".
6. Once flashed, enter "reset" to reboot the device.
