The original vendor's driver programmed the dma controller's
AHB HPROT values to enable bufferable, privileged mode. This
along with the "same priorty for both channels" fixes the
freezes according to @takimata, @And.short, that have been
reported on the forum by @ticerex.
Furtheremore, @takimata reported that the patch also improved
the performance of the HDDs considerably:

|It seems your patch unleashed the full power of the SATA port.
|Where I was previously hitting a really hard limit at around
|82 MB/s for reading and 27 MB/s for writing, I am now getting this:
|
|root@OpenWrt:/mnt# time dd if=/dev/zero of=tempfile bs=1M count=1024
|1024+0 records in
|1024+0 records out
|real 0m 13.65s
|user 0m 0.01s
|sys 0m 11.89s
|
|root@OpenWrt:/mnt# time dd if=tempfile of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1024
|1024+0 records in
|1024+0 records out
|real 0m 8.41s
|user 0m 0.01s
|sys 0m 4.70s
|
|This means: 121 MB/s reading and 75 MB/s writing!

|The drive is a WD Green WD10EARX taken from an older MBL Single.
|I repeated the test a few times with even larger files to rule out
|any caching, I'm still seeing the same great performance. OpenWrt is
|now completely on par with the original MBL firmware's performance.

This patch backports several patches that went upstream into
Herbert Xu's cryptodev-2.6 tree:
crypto: Use zeroing memory allocator instead of allocator/memset
crypto: crypto4xx - performance optimizations
crypto: crypto4xx - convert to skcipher
crypto: crypto4xx - avoid VLA use
crypto: crypto4xx - add aes-ctr support
crypto: crypto4xx - properly set IV after de- and encrypt
crypto: crypto4xx - extend aead fallback checks
crypto: crypto4xx - put temporary dst sg into request ctx
The older, outstanding patches from 120-wxyz series have been
upstreamed as well and therefore they have been reassigned to
fit into the series.

(cherry picked from commit 16e39624b7)
Right patch version this time, sorry!
* Patch 180-usb-xhci-add-support-for-performing-fake-doorbell.patch had to be adjusted slightly because of upstream adapted code.
* Refreshed patches.

This patch updates the apm821xx target to use the 4.14 kernel.
4.14 finally ships with a driver for the WNDR4700's tc654 fan
controller. The custom driver is deprecated in favor of the
upstream driver and the thermal cooling definitions in the DTS
are updated.
