The HPNA hardware probably needs a firmware to make the coaxial port work.
In the OEM firmware, it's apparently sent with an utility (inhpna) through
the ethernet port.
Installation via CFE web UI:
1. Connect the UART serial port.
2. Power on the router and press enter at the console prompt to stop the
bootloader.
4. Browse to http://192.168.1.1 and upload the OpenWrt CFE firmware

BMIPS is a generic arch that can be used for multiple Broadcom SoCs, each one
with its own specific drivers, so instead of having a huge kernel supporting
all of them, let's switch to a subtarget per SoC like other OpenWrt targets.

This target has full device tree support, thus reducing the number of
patches needed for bcm63xx, in which there's a patch for every board.
The intention is to start with a minimal amount of downstream patches and
start upstreaming all of them.
Current status:
- Enabling EHCI/OHCI on BCM6358 causes a kernel panic.
- BCM63268 lacks Timer Clocks/Reset support.
- No PCI/PCIe drivers.
- No ethernet drivers.
