Some users noticed repeated resyncs at random intervals, which go away
when the MEI driver is configured to use polling instead of interrupts.
Debugging shows that this seems to be caused by concurrent calls to
MEI_ReadMailbox (in the interrupt handler) and MEI_WriteMailbox. This
appears to be mostly triggered when there is an interrupt for vectoring
error reports.
In polling mode, calls to MEI_ReadMailbox are protected by the same
semaphore as is used in MEI_WriteMailbox. When interrupts are used,
MEI_WriteMailbox appears to rely on MEI_DisableDeviceInt and
MEI_EnableDeviceInt to provide mutual exclusion with the interrupt
handler. These functions mask/unmask interrupts, and there is an
additional check of the mask in the interrupt handler itself. However,
this is not sufficient on systems with SMP, as the interrupt handler
may be running in parallel, and could already be past the interrupt
mask check at this point.
This adds a lock to the interrupt handler, and also acquires this lock
in MEI_DisableDeviceInt. This should make sure that after a call to
MEI_DisableDeviceInt the interrupt is masked, and the interrupt handler
is either not running, has alread finished its work, or is still before
the interrupt mask check, and is thus going to detect the change.

This re-enables the vectoring error sample callback and adds a
dependency to the corresponding driver.

This removes -static compile option. The -static option tells GCC to
link this statically with the libc, which we do not want in OpenWrt. We
want to link everything dynamically to the libc. This fixes a compile
problem with glibc.

Without this change, ifx_mei_atm_showtime_check() will always return
"showtime" after one call of MEI_InternalXtmSwhowtimeEntrySignal()
was done, even if MEI_InternalXtmSwhowtimeExitSignal() was called
in the meantime.
The ifx_mei_atm_showtime_check() function is used by the ltq-atm and
ltq-ptm driver.

Do not leak the user space CFLAGS into the kernel space any more, this
allows us to activate the MIPS16 build.
This decreases the size of the ipk file from 87589 bytes to 81267 bytes.

This is fixing multiple compile problems with kernel 4.14 and updates the
code to take care of changes introduced between kernel 4.9 and 4.14.

This activates the format warnings in this package and that makes it
possible to activate format-security checks.

In addition to the update this also fixes some build warnings and makes it
use the same configure option as used in Lantiq UGW.

Thanks to Sylwester Petela for testing my patch (successfully on an
ADSL connection) and for pointing out some configuration mistakes.
Others (including me) have also successfully tested this extensively
on VDSL connections.
