Since the nvmem-based approach for retrieving MAC addresses
appears to depend on the addresses being set up after the
partitions, it is no longer possible to keep the MAC address
setup in shared DTSI files while the partitions itself are
set up in DTS files for the individual devices.
In ath79 the firmware partition is typically located somewhere
"in the middle" of the partition table. Thus, it's not trivial
to share the partitions containing MAC address information in
a common DTSI (like we did in some cases on ramips).
In this commit, MAC address setup is thus moved to the relevant
partitions, and in most cases needs to be duplicated. While
the duplication is not really nice, it eventually provides a
cleaner and more tidy setup, making the DTS(I) file
fragmentation a bit more logical. This should also help
with adding new devices, as information is distributed across
less locations.
For consistency, this commit also moves the mtd-cal-data property
"down" together with the MAC address setup, so it's not based
on a partition before the latter is defined either. (This is
only done for those files touched due to nvmem conversion.)

The uart node is enabled on all devices except one (GL-USB150 *).
Thus, let's not have a few hundred nodes to enable it, but do not
disable it in the first place.
Where the majority of devices is using it, also move the serial0
alias to the DTSI.
*) Since GL-USB150 even defines serial0 alias, the missing uart
is probably just a mistake. Anyway, disable it for now so this
patch stays cosmetic.

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.

All other SoC DTSI files have gpio enabled by default, only
ar9330/ar9331 disable it by default, only to have it enabled again
afterwards for each individual device.
So, do not disable it in the first place, and drop all device-specific
status statements afterwards.

This ports the GL.iNet 6408/6416 from ar71xx.
The GL-Connect GL.iNet v1 routers are basically a TP-Link TL-WR710N with
more DRAM/Flash and console/GPIO header in the same small form-factor.
Specifications:
- SoC: Atheros AR9331
- CPU: 400 MHz
- Flash: 8/16 MiB
- RAM: 64 MiB
- WiFi: 2.4 GHz b/g/n (SoC)
- Ethernet: 2x 100M ports (LAN/WAN)
- USB: 1x 2.0
The difference between 6408 and 6416 is just the flash size. It looks like
only the 16 MiB version has been advertised, while the 6408 is a modified
version. There are also 1-port versions sold by third parties.
Installation:
Install the sysupgrade image via stock firmware GUI or upload it via uboot
(web-based). The device will be available at 192.168.1.1.
Attention: In ar71xx, the same board name is used for both flash versions.
So, please make sure you flash the correct ath79 image when upgrading.
This has been device-tested on a GL.iNet 6416.
