We regularly encounter the situation that devices are subject to
changes that will make them incompatible to previous versions.
Removing SUPPORTED_DEVICES will not really be helpful in most of these
cases, as this only helps after a rename.
To solve this situation, this patchset introduces a compatibility
version for devices. In this patch, the actual checks are implemented
into fwtool_check_image():
If an incompatible change is introduced, one can increase either
the minor version (1.0->1.1) or the major version (1.0->2.0).
Minor version increment:
This will still allow sysupgrade, but require to reset config
(-n or SAVE_CONFIG=0). If sysupgrade is called without -n, a
corresponding message will be printed. If sysupgrade is called
with -n, it will just pass, with supported devices being checked
as usual. (Which will allow us to add back SUPPORTED_DEVICES for
many cases.)
Major version increment:
This is meant for potential (rare) cases where sysupgrade is
not possible at all, because it would break the device.
In this case, a warning will be printed, and -n won't help.
If image check fails because of one of the versions parts not
matching, the content of DEVICE_COMPAT_MESSAGE is printed in
addition to the generic message (if set).
For both cases, upgrade can still be forced with -F as usual.

We regularly encounter the situation that devices are subject to
changes that will make them incompatible to previous versions.
Removing SUPPORTED_DEVICES will not really be helpful in most of these
cases, as this only helps after a rename.
To solve this situation, this patchset introduces a compatibility
version for devices. To complement the DEVICE_COMPAT_VERSION set
for the image to be flashed, this implements a compat_version on
the device, so it will have something to compare with the image.
The only viable way to achieve this seems to be via board.d files,
i.e. this is technically adding a compat version for the device's
config.
Like for the network setup, this will set up a command
ucidef_set_compat_version to set the compat_version in board.d.
This will then add a string to /etc/board.json, which will be
translated into uci system config by bin/config_generate.
By this, the compat_version, being a version of the config, will
also be exposed to the user.
As with DEVICE_COMPAT_VERSION, missing uci entry will be assumed
as compat_version "1.0", so we only need to add this if a device
needs to be bumped, e.g.
ucidef_set_compat_version "1.1"

changes that will make them incompatible to previous versions.
Removing SUPPORTED_DEVICES will not really be helpful in most of these
cases, as this only helps after a rename.
To solve this situation, this patchset introduces a compatibility
version for devices. It will be implemented via a per-device
Make variable DEVICE_COMPAT_VERSION, which will be set to 1.0
globally by default and then can be overwritten as needed.
Furthermore, a variable DEVICE_COMPAT_MESSAGE is added, where
a message to be displayed during sysupgrade may be specified
optionally.
This patch only implements the build variables and adds them
to the sysupgrade metadata, the evaluation will be addressed
in a subsequent patch.
To set it, one would just need to add the following to a device node:
define Device/somedevice
...
DEVICE_COMPAT_VERSION := 1.1
DEVICE_COMPAT_MESSAGE := Config cannot be migrated from swconfig to DSA

Many MediaTek SoCs can be unbricked by using the SP Flash Tool from
http://spflashtool.com/ along with a "scatter list" file, which is
just a text file listing which image gets loaded where.
We use a trivial partition layout for the tool, with the whole eMMC
image as a single "partition", which means users just need to unzip
the sysupgrade image. Doing the real partition layout would be overly
complex and would require the individual partitions to be shipped
as artifacts — or users to extract them out of the sysupgrade image
just for the tool to put them adjacent to each other on the eMMC
anyway.
The tool does require a copy of the preloader in order to operate,
even when it isn't flashing the preloader to the eMMC boot region.
So drop that into the bin directory as an artifact too.

This board ships with an ancient 14.07-based OpenWrt using block2mtd, and
the MBR partition table contains nonsense.
It is possible to sysupgrade to an upstream OpenWrt image, but the
legacy layout of the OpenWrt images start at 0xA00 in the eMMC, with
a raw uImage. The legacy OpenWrt image doesn't "own" the beginning
of the device, including the MBR and U-Boot.
This means that when a user upgrades to upstream OpenWrt, it doesn't
boot because it can't find the right partitions. So hard-code them on
the kernel's command line using CONFIG_CMDLINE_PARTITION (for block).
Additionally, the vendor firmware doesn't cope with images larger than
about 36MiB, because it only overwrites the contents of its "firmware"
MTD partition. The current layout of the legacy image wastes a lot of
space, allowing over 32MiB for the kernel and another 10MiB for the FAT
recovery file system which is only created as 3MiB. So pull those in
to allow 4¾ MiB for the kernel, 3MiB for recovery, and then we have over
20MiB for the root file system.
This doesn't affect the new images which ship with a full eMMC image
including a different MBR layout and a partition for U-Boot, because
our modern U-Boot can actually pass the command line to the kernel, and
the built-in one doesn't get used anyway.
Tested by upgrading from vendor OpenWrt to the current legacy image,
from legacy to itself, to the previous legacy layout, and then to
finally the full-system image.
This commit probably wants backporting to 19.07, which also doesn't
install over the vendor OpenWrt and doesn't even have a full-system
installation option.

Specifications:
SoC: QCA9563
DRAM: 128MB DDR2
Flash: 16MB SPI-NOR
2 Gigabit ethernet ports
3×3 2.4GHz on-board radio
miniPCIe slot that supports 5GHz radio
PoE 24V passive or 36V-56V passive with optional IEEE 802.3af/at
USB 3.0 header
Installation:
To install, either start tftp in bin/targets/ath79/generic/ and use
the u-boot prompt over UART:
tftpboot 0x80500000 openwrt-ath79-generic-compex_wpj563-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
erase 0x9f680000 +1
erase 0x9f030000 +$filesize
cp.b $fileaddr 0x9f030000 $filesize
boot
The cpximg file can be used with sysupgrade in the stock firmware (add
SSH key in luci for root access) or with the built-in cpximg loader.
The cpximg loader can be started either by holding the reset button
during power up or by entering the u-boot prompt and entering 'cpximg'.
Once it's running, a TFTP-server under 192.168.1.1 will accept the image
appropriate for the board revision that is etched on the board.
For example, if the board is labelled '7A02':
tftp -v -m binary 192.168.1.1 -c put openwrt-ath79-generic-compex_wpj563-squashfs-cpximg-7a02.bin
MAC addresses:
<&uboot 0x2e010> *:71 (label)
<&uboot 0x2e018> *:72
<&uboot 0x2e020> *:73
<&uboot 0x2e028> *:74
Only the first two are used (for ethernet), the WiFi modules have
separate (valid) addresses. The latter two addresses are not used.
