ath79: fortinet-fap-221-b: convert to nvmem-layout
Now that MAC address parser supports the hex format (without
delimiters), use the canonical MAC address stored in U-boot partition.
Get rid of the userspace adjustments which are no longer necessary.
While at that, move the mac-base to the common part, as it is again
exactly the same in both models.

And convert ART partition too - keep that one separate, as calibration
data length differs between the models.

ath79: fortinet-fap-220-b: fix WLAN MAC addresses
Addresses were swapped compared to the factory firmware. In addition to
that, one of them was shifted by -1. Fix that by setting wlan0 MAC
offset to 9, and wlan1 MAC offset to 2.

c60e9d1839 ath79: use "fixed-layout" for Embedded Wireless devices
Those devices have Ethernet interfaces using base MAC address increased
by 0x40 in the 3rd indexed byte (00:00:00:FF:00:00). To describe that we
were using a custom (downstream) "mac-address-increment-byte" property.

The same result can be achieved by using "mac-base" with a properly
adjusted offset value (0x40 << 16). It may be not pretty but it should
work without custom property or downstream kernel patch to support it.

0c47bdb902 ath79: support Fortinet FAP-220-B
Fortinet FAP-220-B is a dual-radio, dual-band 802.11n enterprise managed
access point with PoE input and single gigabit Ethernet interface.

Hardware highlights:
Power: 802.3af PoE input on Ethernet port, +12V input on 5.5/2.1mm DC jack.
SoC: Atheros AR7161 (MIPS 24kc at 680MHz)
RAM: 64MB DDR400
Flash: 16MB SPI-NOR
Wi-Fi 1: Atheros AR9220 2T2R 802.11abgn (dual-band)
Wi-Fi 2: Atheros AR9223 2T2R 802.11bgn (single-band)
Ethernet: Atheros AR8021 single gigabit Phy (RGMII)
Console: External RS232 port using Cisco 8P8C connector (9600-8-N-1)
USB: Single USB 2.0 host port
LEDs: Power (single colour, green), Wi-Fi 1, Wi-Fi 2, Ethernet, Mode, Status
(dual-colour, green and yellow)
Buttons: reset button hidden in bottom grill,
  in the top row, 2nd column from the right.
Label MAC address: eth0

FCC ID: TVE-220102

Serial port pinout:
3 - TxD
4 - GND
6 - RxD

Installation: The same methods apply as for already supported FAP-221-B.

For both methods, a backup of flash partitions is recommended, as stock firmware
is not freely available on the internet.

(a) Using factory image:

1. Connect console cable to the console port
2. Connect Ethernet interface to your PC
3. Start preferred terminal at 9600-8-N-1
4. Have a TFTP server running on the PC.
5. Put the "factory" image in TFTP root
6. Power on the device
7. Break boot sequence by pressing "Ctrl+C"
8. Press "G". The console will ask you for device IP, server IP, and filename.
   Enter them appropriately.
   The defaults are:
   Server IP: 192.168.1.1 # Update accordingly
   Device IP: 192.168.1.2 # Update accordingly
   Image file: image.out # Use for example: openwrt-ath79-generic-fortinet_fap-220-b-squashfs-factory.bin
9. The device will load the firmware over TFTP, and verify it. When
   verification passes, press "D" to continue installation. The device
   will reboot on completion.

(b) Using initramfs + sysupgrade
1. Connect console cable to the console port
2. Connect Ethernet interface to your PC
3. Start preferred terminal at 9600-8-N-1
4. Have a TFTP server running on the PC.
5. Put the "initramfs" image in TFTP root
6. Power on the device.
7. Break boot sequence by pressing "Ctrl+C"
8. Enter hidden U-boot shell by pressing "K". The password is literal "1".
9. Load the initramfs over TFTP:

   > setenv serverip 192.168.1.1 # Your PC IP
   > setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.22 # Device IP, both have to share a subnet.
   > tftpboot 81000000 openwrt-ath79-generic-fortinet_fap-220-b-initramfs-kernel.bin
   > bootm 81000000

10. (Optional) Copy over contents of at least "fwconcat0", "loader", and "fwconcat1"
    partitions, to allow restoring factory firmware in future:

    # cat /dev/mtd1 > /tmp/mtd1_fwconcat0.bin
    # cat /dev/mtd2 > /tmp/mtd2_loader.bin
    # cat /dev/mtd3 > /tmp/mtd3_fwconcat1.bin

    and then SCP them over to safety at your PC.

11. When the device boots, copy over the sysupgrade image, and execute
    normal upgrade:

    # sysupgrade openwrt-ath79-generic-fortinet_fap-220-b-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

Return to stock firmware:
1. Boot initramfs image as per initial installation up to point 9
2. Copy over the previously backed up contents over network
3. Write the backed up contents back:

   # mtd write /tmp/mtd1_fwconcat0.bin fwconcat0
   # mtd write /tmp/mtd2_loader.bin loader
   # mtd write /tmp/mtd3_fwconcat1.bin fwconcat1

4. Erase the reserved partition:

   # mtd erase reserved

5. Reboot the device

Quirks and known issues:
- The power LED blinking pattern is disrupted during boot, probably due
  to very slow serial console, which prints a lot during boot compared
  to stock FW.
- "mac-address-ascii" device tree binding cannot yet be used for address
  stored in U-boot partition, because it expects the colons as delimiters,
  which this address lacks. Addresses found in ART partition are used
  instead.
- Due to using kmod-owl-loader, the device will lack wireless interfaces
  while in initramfs, unless you compile it in.
- The device heats up A LOT on the bottom, even when idle. It even
  contains a warning sticker there.
- Stock firmware uses a fully read-write filesystem for its rootfs.
- Stock firmware loads a lot of USB-serial converter drivers for use
  with built-in host, probably meant for hosting modem devices.
- U-boot build of the device is stripped of all branding, despite that
  evidence of it (obviously) being U-boot can be found in the binary.
- The user can break into hidden U-boot shell using key "K" after
  breaking boot sequence. The password is "1" (without quotes).
- Telnet is available by default, with login "admin", without password.
  The same is true for serial console, both drop straight to the Busybox
  shell.
- The web interface drops to the login page again, after successfull
  login.
- Whole image authentication boils down to comparing a device ID against
  one stored in U-boot.
- And this device is apparently made by a security company.

Big thanks for Michael Pratt for providing support for FAP-221-B, which
shares the entirety of image configuration with this device, this saved
me a ton of work.

ath79: fix packetloss on some WLR-7100
On some WLR-7100 routers, significant packet loss was observed. This is
fixed by configuring a delay on the GMAC0 RXD and RXDV lines.

The values used in this commit are copied from the values used by the
stock firmare (based on register dumping).

Out of four test routers, the problem was consistently observed on two.
It is unclear what the relevant difference is exactly (the two working
routers were v1 001 with AR1022 and v1 002 with AR9342, the two broken
routers were both v1 002 with AR1022). All PCB routing also seems
identical, so maybe there is some stray capacitance on some of these
that adds just enough delay or so...

With this change, the packet loss disappears on the broken routers,
without introducing new packet loss on the previously working routers.

Note that the PHY *also* has delays enabled (through
`qca,ar8327-initvals`) on both RX and TX lines, but apparently that is
not enough, or it is not effective (registers have been verified to be
written).

12f53724c6 ath79: fix first reboot issue on Netgear WNDR4300 v2 and WNDR4500 v3
From the Netgear u-boot GPL code[1]. Bootloader always unconditionally
marks block 768, 1020 - 1023 as bad blocks on each boot. This may lead
to conflicts with the OpenWrt nand driver since these blocks may be good
blocks. In this case, U-boot will override the oob of these blocks so
that break the ubi volume. The system will be damaged after first reboot.
To avoid this issue, manually skip these blocks by using "mtd-concat".

Though the OEM firmware has four adresses in the usual locations,
it appears that the assigned addresses are just incremented in a different way:

Interface    address    location

2.4g             *:0A           n/a (0x0 + 10)
5g               *:02           0x6

Unused Addresses found in ART hexdump
address    location
*:01           0x1002
*:03           0x5006

To keep code consistency the MAC address assignments are made based on increments of the one found in 0x0;

dac0a133cf ath79: DTS improvement for buzzer on RB951G-2HnD
Mikrotik RB951 router has a buzzer on the board, which makes annoying noises
due to the interference caused by PoE input or Wifi transmission
when no GPIO pin state is set.
I added buzzer node to device's DTS in order to set deault level to 1
and to provide easier access for it.

db02cecd6a ath79: add support for MikroTik RB951G-2HnD
MikroTik RB951G-2HnD is a wireless SOHO router that was previously
supported by the ar71xx target, see commit 7a709573d7 ("ar71xx: add
kernel support for the Mikrotik RB951G board").

Specifications
--------------

  - SoC: Atheros AR9344 (600 MHz)
  - RAM: 128 MB (2x 64 MB)
  - Storage: 128 MB NAND flash (various manufacturers)
  - Ethernet: Atheros AR8327 switch, 5x 10/100/1000 Mbit/s
      - 1x PoE in (port 1, 8-30 V input)
  - Wireless: Atheros AR9340 (802.11b/g/n)
  - USB: 2.0 (1A)
  - 8x LED:
      - 1x power (green, not configurable)
      - 1x user (green, not configurable)
      - 5x GE ports (green, not configurable)
      - 1x wireless (green, not configurable)
  - 1x button (restart)

Unlike on the RB951Ui-2HnD, none of the LEDs on this device seem to be
GPIO-controllable, which was also the case for older OpenWRT versions
that supported this board via a mach file.  The Ethernet port LEDs are
controlled by the switch chip.

See https://mikrotik.com/product/RB951G-2HnD for more details.

Flashing instructions:

Depending on the installed firmware, there are vastly different
methods to flash a MR18. These have been documented on:
<https://openwrt.org/toh/meraki/mr18>

Tip:
Use an initramfs from a previous release and then use sysupgrade
to get to the later releases. This is because the initramfs can
no longer be built by the build-bots due to its size (>8 MiB).

Note on that:
Upgrades from AR71XX releases are possible, but they will
require the force sysupgrade option ( -F ).

Please backup your MR18's configuration before starting the
update. The reason here is that a lot of development happend
since AR71XX got removed, so I do advise to use the ( -n )
option for sysupgrade as well. This will cause the device
to drop the old AR71xx configuration and make a new
configurations from scratch.

Note on LEDs:
The LEDs has changed since AR71XX. The white LED is now used during
the boot and when upgrading instead of the green tricolor LED. The
technical reason is that currently the RGB-LED is brought up later
by a userspace daemon.

(added warning note about odm-caldata partition. remove initramfs -
it's too big to be built by the bots. MerakiNAND -> meraki-header.

590d1fd0e6 ath79: add support for ZTE MF282
The ZTE MF282 is a LTE router used (exclusively?) by the network operator
"3".

Specifications
==============

SoC: QCA9563 (775MHz)
RAM: 128MiB
Flash: 8MiB SPI-NOR + 128MiB SPI-NAND
LAN: 1x GBit LAN
LTE: ZTE MF270 (Cat4), detected as P685M
WiFi: QCA9880ac + QCA9560bgn

MAC addresses
=============

LAN: from config
WiFi 1: from config
WiFi 2: +1

Installation
============

TFTP installation using UART is preferred. Disassemble the device and
connect serial. Put the initramfs image as openwrt.bin to your TFTP server
and configure a static IP of 192.168.1.100. Load the initramfs image by
typing:

  setenv serverip 192.168.1.100
  setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
  tftpboot 0x82000000 openwrt.bin
  bootm 0x82000000

From this intiramfs boot you can take a backup of the currently installed
partitions as no vendor firmware is available for download.

Once booted, transfer the sysupgrade image and run sysupgrade.

LTE Modem
=========

The LTE modem is probably the same as in the MF283+, all instructions
apply.

Configuring the connection using modemmanager works properly, the modem
provides three serial ports and a QMI CDC ethernet interface.

RAM: 128MiB
Flash: 32MiB SPI NOR
LAN: 1x 10/100MBit
WAN: 1x 10/100MBit
LTE: MDM9607 USB 2.0 (rndis configuration)
WiFi: 802.11n (SoC integrated)

MAC address assignment
======================

There are three MAC addresses stored in the flash ROM, the assignment
follows stock. The MAC on the label is the WiFi MAC address.

Installation (TFTP)
===================

1. Connect serial console
2. Configure static IP to 192.168.1.112
3. Put OpenWrt factory.bin file as firmware-system.bin
4. Press Power + WPS and plug in power
5. Keep buttons pressed until TFTP requests are visible
6. Wait for the system to finish flashing and wait for reboot
7. Bootup will fail as the kernel offset is wrong
8. Run "setenv bootcmd bootm 0x9f150000"
9. Reset board and enjoy OpenWrt

Installation (without UART)
===========================

Installation without UART is a bit tricky and requires several steps too
long for the commit message. Basic steps:

1. Create configure backup
2. Patch backup file to enable SSH
3. Login via SSH and configure the new bootcmd
3. Flash OpenWrt factory.bin image manually (sysupgrade doesn't work)

More detailed instructions will be provided on the Wiki page.

70000ab509 ath79: use gpios for switch management in WZR-HP-G300NH variants
The RTL8366S/RB switch node in DTS defines "mii-bus = <&mdio0>" to permit
management via SMI but this has likely never worked, instead falling back
to using GPIOs in the past:

     rtl8366s switch: cannot find mdio bus from bus handle (yet)
     rtl8366s switch: using GPIO pins 19 (SDA) and 20 (SCK)
     rtl8366s switch: RTL8366 ver. 1 chip found

Recently, the rtl8366s and rtl8366_smi drivers were changed from built-in
to loadable modules. This affected driver probing order and caused switch
initialization (and network access) to fail:

     rtl8366s switch: using MDIO bus 'ag71xx_mdio'
     rtl8366s switch: unknown chip id (ffff)
     rtl8366s switch: chip detection failed, err=-19

Force using GPIOs to manage the switch by dropping the "mii-bus" DTS
definition, which works for both built-in and loadable switch drivers.

  need to compile u-boot from a slightly different branch:
  https://github.com/Hurricos/u-boot-ap105/tree/ap175

  The instructions for performing an in-circuit reflash with an
  SPI-Flasher like a CH314A can be found on the OpenWrt Wiki
  (https://openwrt.org/toh/aruba/ap-105); in addition a detailed guide
  may be found on YouTube[^3].

- Once u-boot has been replaced, a USB-A-to-A cable may be used to
  connect your PC to the CP210X inside the AP at 115200 baud; at this
  point, the normal u-boot serial flashing procedure will work (set up
  networking; tftpboot and boot an OpenWrt initramfs; sysupgrade to
  OpenWrt proper.)

- There is no built-in functionality to revert back to stock firmware,
  because the AP-175 has been declared by the vendor[^4] end-of-life
  as of 31 Jul 2020. If for some reason you wish to return to stock
  firmware, take a backup of the 16MiB flash before flashing u-boot.

de3d60b982 ath79: calibrate dlink dir-825 b1 with nvmem
Driver for both soc (2.4GHz Wifi) and pci (5 GHz) now pull the calibration
data from the nvmem subsystem.

This allows us to move the userspace caldata extraction for the pci-e ath9k
supported wifi into the device-tree definition of the device.

Currently, only ethernet devices uses the mac address of
"mac-address-ascii" cells, while PCI ath9k devices uses the mac address
within calibration data.

0eebc6f0dd ath79: support Ruckus ZoneFlex 7341/7343/7363
Ruckus ZoneFlex 7363 is a dual-band, dual-radio 802.11n 2x2 MIMO enterprise
access point. ZoneFlex 7343 is the single band variant of 7363
restricted to 2.4GHz, and ZoneFlex 7341 is 7343 minus two Fast Ethernet
ports.

Hardware highligts:
- CPU: Atheros AR7161 SoC at 680 MHz
- RAM: 64MB DDR
- Flash: 16MB SPI-NOR
- Wi-Fi 2.4GHz: AR9280 PCI 2x2 MIMO radio with external beamforming
- Wi-Fi 5GHz: AR9280 PCI 2x2 MIMO radio with external beamforming
- Ethernet 1: single Gigabit Ethernet port through Marvell 88E1116R gigabit PHY
- Ethernet 2: two Fast Ethernet ports through Realtek RTL8363S switch,
  connected with Fast Ethernet link to CPU.
- PoE: input through Gigabit port
- Standalone 12V/1A power input
- USB: optional single USB 2.0 host port on the -U variants.

Serial console: 115200-8-N-1 on internal H1 header.
Pinout:

H1 ----------
   |1|x3|4|5|
   ----------

Pin 1 is near the "H1" marking.
1 - RX
x - no pin
3 - VCC (3.3V)
4 - GND
5 - TX

Installation:
- Using serial console - requires some disassembly, 3.3V USB-Serial
  adapter, TFTP server, and removing a single PH1 screw.

0. Connect serial console to H1 header. Ensure the serial converter
   does not back-power the board, otherwise it will fail to boot.

1. Power-on the board. Then quickly connect serial converter to PC and
   hit Ctrl+C in the terminal to break boot sequence. If you're lucky,
   you'll enter U-boot shell. Then skip to point 3.
   Connection parameters are 115200-8-N-1.

2. Allow the board to boot.  Press the reset button, so the board
   reboots into U-boot again and go back to point 1.

3. Set the "bootcmd" variable to disable the dual-boot feature of the
   system and ensure that uImage is loaded. This is critical step, and
   needs to be done only on initial installation.

   > setenv bootcmd "bootm 0xbf040000"
   > saveenv

4. Boot the OpenWrt initramfs using TFTP. Replace IP addresses as needed.
   Use the Gigabit interface, Fast Ethernet ports are not supported
   under U-boot:

   > setenv serverip 192.168.1.2
   > setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
   > tftpboot 0x81000000 openwrt-ath79-generic-ruckus_zf7363-initramfs-kernel.bin
   > bootm 0x81000000

5. Optional, but highly recommended: back up contents of "firmware" partition:

   $ ssh root@192.168.1.1 cat /dev/mtd1 > ruckus_zf7363_fw_backup.bin

6. Copy over sysupgrade image, and perform actual installation. OpenWrt
   shall boot from flash afterwards:

   $ ssh root@192.168.1.1
   # sysupgrade -n openwrt-ath79-generic-ruckus_zf7363-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

   After unit boots, it should be available at the usual 192.168.1.1/24.

Return to factory firmware:

1. Copy over the backup to /tmp, for example using scp
2. Unset the "bootcmd" variable:
   fw_setenv bootcmd ""
3. Use sysupgrade with force to restore the backup:
   sysupgrade -F ruckus_zf7363_backup.bin
4. System will reboot.

Quirks and known issues:
- Fast Ethernet ports on ZF7363 and ZF7343 are supported, but management
  features of the RTL8363S switch aren't implemented yet, though the
  switch is visible over MDIO0 bus. This is a gigabit-capable switch, so
  link establishment with a gigabit link partner may take a longer time
  because RTL8363S advertises gigabit, and the port magnetics don't
  support it, so a downshift needs to occur. Both ports are accessible
  at eth1 interface, which - strangely - runs only at 100Mbps itself.
- Flash layout is changed from the factory, to use both firmware image
  partitions for storage using mtd-concat, and uImage format is used to
  actually boot the system, which rules out the dual-boot capability.
- Both radio has its own EEPROM on board, not connected to CPU.
- The stock firmware has dual-boot capability, which is not supported in
  OpenWrt by choice.
  It is controlled by data in the top 64kB of RAM which is unmapped,
  to avoid the interference in the boot process and accidental
  switch to the inactive image, although boot script presence in
  form of "bootcmd" variable should prevent this entirely.
- On some versions of stock firmware, it is possible to obtain root shell,
  however not much is available in terms of debugging facitilies.
  1. Login to the rkscli
  2. Execute hidden command "Ruckus"
  3. Copy and paste ";/bin/sh;" including quotes. This is required only
     once, the payload will be stored in writable filesystem.
  4. Execute hidden command "!v54!". Press Enter leaving empty reply for
     "What's your chow?" prompt.
  5. Busybox shell shall open.

- There is second method to achieve root shell, using command injection
  in the web interface:
  1. Login to web administration interface
  2. Go to Administration > Diagnostics
  3. Enter |telnetd${IFS}-p${IFS}204${IFS}-l${IFS}/bin/sh into "ping"
     field
  4. Press "Run test"
  5. Telnet to the device IP at port 204
  6. Busybox shell shall open.
