This patch works around an issue where reboot would cause the AP
to power down and not reboot.
The ipq4019 restart controller reboot causes the system
to power down and not recover. Fix is to disable the restart
controller in the device tree and the device reverts to
using the watchdog to perform the reset.
The real problem is due to the buggy bootloader that ships
with the device. Steve Glennon reported in the PR for this
patch: <https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/2009> that:
"the problem was due to a bad u-boot that ships with the device.
Using the u-boot that comes with 3.5.5.3 EnGenius factory
software now allows the old code (using the do_msm_reboot)
to reboot successfully.
On to the bad news:
Well 3.5.5.3 is a bad path. Finally managed to recover. You
CANNOT use prior EnGenius firmware to downgrade.
Findings:
* They now password protect the serial console with a new, unkown
password.
* They changed the protection on their walled-garden. I have to
use the ssh admin@ip /bin/sh --login to get out of their
walled-garden.
* Attempts to flash the original 3.0.0 or 3.0.1 EnGenius firmware
fail through the UI and sysupgrade. Their firmware update GUI now
seem to detect regular openwrt images, but they fail to flash
Attempts to flash a normal OpenWrt image with sysupgrade fail.
[..]
Attempts to sysupgrade with EnGenius firmware fail with the same
"mandatory section(s) missing" error, so you cannot downgrade to
3.0.0 or 3.0.1."

Added basic support to get the device up and running for a sysupgrade
image only.
There is currently no way back to factory firmware, so this is a one-way
street to OpenWRT.
Install from factory condition is convoluted, and may brick your device:
1) Enable SSH and disable the CLI on the factory device from the web user
interface (Management->Advanced)
2) Reboot the device
3) Override the default, limited SSH shell:
a) Get into the ssh shell:
ssh admin@192.168.1.1 /bin/sh --login
b) Change the dropbear script to disable the limited shell. At the
empty command prompt type:
sed -i '/login_ssh/s/^/#/g’ dropbear
/etc/init.d/dropbear restart
exit
4) ssh in to a (now-) normal OpenWRT SSH session
5) Flash your built image
a) scp openwrt-ipq40xx-engenius_ens620ext-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
admin@192.168.1.1:/tmp/
b) ssh admin@192.168.1.1
c) sysupgrade -n
/tmp/openwrt-ipq40xx-engenius_ens620ext-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
6) After flash completes (it may say "Upgrade failed" followed by
"Upgrade completed") and device reboots, log in to newly flashed
system. Note you will now need to ssh as root rather than admin.

- Read and accept the warning
- The router LED will start blinking. When the router LED goes solid, you
can now navigate to 192.168.1.1 to your new OpenWrt installation.
Sysupgrade:
- Flash the sysupgrade image as usual. Please: try to do a reset everytime
you can (doing it with LuCI is easy and can be done in the same step).
Recovery (Automatic):
- If the device fails to boot after install or upgrade, whilst the unit is
turned on:
1 - Wait 15 seconds
2 - Switch Off and Wait 10 seconds
3 - Switch on
4 - Repeat steps 1 to 3, 3 times then go to 5.
5 - U-boot will have now erased the failed update and switched back to the
last working firmware - you should be able to access your router on
LAN.
Recovery (Manual):
- The steps for manual recovery are the same as the generic u-boot tftp
client method.
Back To Stock:
- Use the generic recovery using the tftp client method to flash the
"civic.img". Also you can strip-and-pad the original image and use
the generic "mtd" method by flashing over the "kernel" partition.
* Just be careful to flash in the partition that the device is currently
booted.

Alberto Bursi reported:
>The patch "ipq40xx: specify "firmware" partition format for GL.iNet GL-B1300"
>prevents boot on my B1300. I compiled from latest sources.
The GL-B1300 was using the discouraged direct subnodes method to declare
the partitions on the flash.
|The partition table should be a subnode of the flash node and should be named
|'partitions'. This node should have the following property:
|- compatible : (required) must be "fixed-partitions"
|Partitions are then defined in subnodes of the partitions node.
|
|For backwards compatibility partitions as direct subnodes of the flash device are
|supported. This use is discouraged.
|NOTE: also for backwards compatibility, direct subnodes that have a compatible
|string are not considered partitions, as they may be used for other bindings.
<https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/partition.txt>
Hence, this patch converts the device to the "partitions" layout.

>From the Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/common.txt:
- default-state : The initial state of the LED. Valid values are "on", "off",
and "keep". If the LED is already on or off and the default-state property is
set the to same value, then no glitch should be produced where the LED
momentarily turns off (or on). The "keep" setting will keep the LED at
whatever its current state is, without producing a glitch. The default is
off if this property is not present.
So setting the default-state of the LEDs to `off` is redundant as `off`
is default LED state anyway. We should remove it as almost every new
PR/patch submission contains this property by default which seems to be
just copy&paste from some DTS file already present in the tree.

To set up the flash memory environment, do the following:
a. As a preliminary step, ensure that the board console port is connected to the PC using these RS232 parameters:
* 115200bps
* 8N1
b. Confirm that the PC is connected to the board using one of the Ethernet ports. Set a static ip 192.168.99.8 for Ethernet that connects to board. The PC must have a TFTP server launched and listening on the interface to which the board is connected. At this stage power up the board and, after a few seconds, press 4 and then any key during the countdown.
U-BOOT> set serverip 192.168.99.8 && set ipaddr 192.168.99.9 && tftpboot 0x84000000 openwrt.itb && bootm
2. Load image via GUI
a. Upgrade EAP1300 to FW v3.5.3.2
In the GUI, System Manager > Firmware > Firmware Upgrade, to do upgrade.
b. Transfer to OpenWrt from EnGenius.
In Firmware Upgrade page, to upgrade yours openwrt-ipq40xx-engenius_eap1300-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin.
3. Revert to EnGenius EAP1300

The reserved-memory regions are mostly undocumented by QCA and are named
very unspecific in the QSDK device trees. It was tried to clean them up by
commit 71ed9f10a3 ("ipq40xx: Use detailed reserved memory for A42") and
similar changes.
The features which require these regions were mostly unknown but
Senthilkumar N L <snlakshm@qti.qualcomm.com> and Sricharan Ramabadhran
<srichara@qti.qualcomm.com> provided some more insight in some of them:
* crash dump feature
- a couple of regions used when 'qca,scm_restart_reason' dt node has the
value 'dload_status' not set to 1
+ apps_bl <0x87000000 0x400000>
+ sbl <0x87400000 0x100000>
+ cnss_debug <0x87400000 0x100000>
+ cpu_context_dump <0x87b00000 0x080000>
- required driver not available in Linux
- safe to remove
* QSEE app execution
- region tz_apps <0x87b80000 0x280000>
- required driver not available in Linux
- safe to remove
* communication with TZ/QSEE
- region smem <0x87b80000 0x280000>
- driver changes not yet upstreamed
- must not be removed because any access can crash kernel/program
* trustzone (QSEE) private memory
- region tz <0x87e80000 0x180000>
- must not be removed because any access can crash kernel/program
Removing the unnecessary regions saves some kilobyte of reserved-memory and
cleans up the device tree:

- Support on EX6100v2. They share the same GPL-Code and vendor-images.
The 6100v2 seems to lack one 5GHz stream and differs in the 5GHz
board-blob. I only own a EX6150v2, therefore i am only able to verify
functionality on this device.
Install via Web-Interface:
Upload the factory image to the device to the Netgear Web-Interface.
The device might asks you to confirm the update a second time due to
detecting the OpenWRT firmware as older. The device will automatically
reboot after the image is written to flash.
Install via TFTP:
Connect to the devices serial. Hit Enter-Key in bootloader to stop
autobooting. Command "fw_recovery" will start a tftp server, waiting for
a DNI image to be pushed.
Assign your computer the IP-address 192.168.1.10/24. Push image with
tftp -4 -v -m binary 192.168.1.1 -c put <OPENWRT_FACTORY>
Device will erase factory-partition first, then writes the pushed image
to flash and reboots.

Installation instructions:
Since boards ship with old version of LEDE installation is simple.
Just use sysupgrade -n -F sysupgrade.bin
Syuspgrade needs to be forced since OpenWRT uses DT detection in recent
releases.
If you get error that FIT configuration is not found during boot it is
due to older U-boot used on your board.
That is because 8devices used custom FIT configuration partition name
as they internally had v1 and v2 boards.
Only v2 boards are sold so now they are shipping boards with never
U-boot using generic config@1 FIT partition name.
Also for old uboot it is possible to force loading config@1 by changing
uboot environment:
setenv boot5 'bootm 0x84000000#config@1’
saveenv

been removed by it when CONFIG_QCA_APPSBL_DLOAD is not enabled. This allows
to reduce the 16MB reserved memory region to only 4.5MB.
