This is a preparation for ath79 support of the CPE210/CPE510 v1.
Kernel size is chosen equal to the latest update for CPE610 v1.
This also updates the partition size in ar71xx target, so code
remains consistent if someone looks up the device. Since CPE210,
CPE510, WBS210 and WBS510 (all v1) share the same partition
layout definition, and are on deprecated target anyway, this
changes them all at once.

Flashing instructions using recovery method over TFTP
1. Unplug the ethernet cable from the router.
2. Using paper clip press and hold the router's reset button. Make sure
you can feel it depressed by the paper clip. Do not release the button
until step 4.
3. While keeping the reset button pressed in, plug the ethernet cable
back into the AP. Keep the reset button depressed until you see the
device's LEDs flashing in upgrade mode (alternating LED1/LED3 and
LED2/LED4), this may take up to 25 seconds.
4. You may release the reset button, now the device should be in TFTP
transfer mode.
5. Set a static IP on your Computer's NIC. A static IP of 192.168.1.25/24
should work.
6. Plug the PoE injector's LAN cable directly to your computer.
7. Start tftp client and issue following commands:
tftp> binary
tftp> connect 192.168.1.20
tftp> put openwrt-ar71xx-generic-ubnt-bullet-m-xw-squashfs-factory.bin

This is backport of the same functionality in ath79, from commit
d42a7c469 ("ath79: ubnt-m-xw: Fix factory image flashing using TFTP
recovery method")
Ubiquity allows flashing of unsigned factory images via TFTP recovery
method[1]. They claim in airOS v6.0.7 release changelog[2] following:
All future airOS versions will be signed in this way and not allow
unsigned firmware to be loaded except via TFTP.
U-boot bootloader on M-XW devices expects factory image revision
version in specific format. On airOS v6.1.7 with `U-Boot 1.1.4-s1039
(May 24 2017 - 15:58:18)` bootloader checks if the revision major(?)
number is actually a number, but in currently generated images there's
OpenWrt text and so the check fails:
Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0

Starting TFTP server...
Receiving file from 192.168.1.25:38438

By placing arbitrary correct number first in major version, we make the
bootloader happy and we can flash factory images over TFTP again:

The Mikrotik RouterBOARD SXT 2nD r3 is an outdoor WiFi AP / CPE
with a single 2.4 GHz radio and a 100 Mbps Ethernet port.
The device similar to the SXT 2nD r2, but it has SPI NOR flash instead
of NAND flash.
Hardware
--------
CPU: Atheros AR9344 (600 MHz)
RAM: 64 MiB
FLASH: 16 MiB SPI NOR W25Q128
ETH: 1x 100 Mbps Atheros AG71xx
WiFi: 2T2R 802.11b/g/n (ath9k)
Power: Passive PoE 8-30 V
Installation instructions:
1. Boot openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-vmlinux-initramfs.elf using a
DHCP+TFTP server.
2. Erase the "firmware" partition using the mtd command. This should
no longer be required once this patch is merged.
3. Use sysupgrade to install to flash. The file

ath10k_pci driver crashes once loaded and causes boot loops on this
device as 5GHz radio QCA9880-AR1A shipped with this router is broken.
It's not possible to fix this problem in software, miniPCIe radio has to
be replaced.
We could've probably fixed crashing of the ath10k driver by reverting
following upstream commit:
commit 1a7fecb766c83dace747f42b25bbb544b00a0163
Author: Michal Kazior <michal.kazior@tieto.com>
Date: Sat Jan 24 12:14:48 2015 +0200
ath10k: reset chip before reading chip_id in probe
but it's not worth the effort as it wouldn't make that 5GHz radio usable
anyway. So it seems more convenient to just remove the crashing driver
and provide bootable images, as I believe, that a router that is working
but degraded is better than a router that will not work.
For details please see discussions in PR[1] and in FS#1743[2].

When mapping for RSSI LEDs was defined for interface wlan0 on

Therefore create the mapping to interface, so RSSI LEDs work without
additional configuration, after starting rssileds service.
Also add the required package for this.
While at that, remove coefficients needed for PWM LEDs, as XM and XW

This commit modifies mtd partitions define for Buffalo BHR-4GRV2 and
move it to generic subtarget.
In Buffalo BHR-4GRV2, "kernel" partition is located behined "rootfs"
partition in the stock firmware. This causes the size of the kernel
to be limited by the fixed value.
0x50000 0xe80000 0xff0000
+-------------------------------+--------------+
| rootfs | kernel |
| (14528k) | (1472k) |
+-------------------------------+--------------+
After ar71xx was updated to Kernel 4.14, the kernel size of BHR-4GRV2
exceeded the limit, and it breaks builds on official buildbot.
Since this issue was also confirmed in ath79, I modified the mtd
partitions to get rid of that limitation.
0x50000 0xff0000
+----------------------------------------------+
| firmware |
| (16000k) |
+----------------------------------------------+
However, this commit breaks compatibility with ar71xx firmware, so I
dropped "SUPPORTED_DEVICES += bhr-4grv2".
This commit requires new flash instruction instead of the old one.
Flash instruction using initramfs image:
1. Connect the computer to the LAN port of BHR-4GRV2
2. Set the IP address of the computer to 192.168.12.10
3. Rename the OpenWrt initramfs image to
"bhr4grv2-uImage-initramfs-gzip.bin" and place it into the TFTP
directory
4. Start the tftp server on the computer
5. While holding down the "ECO" button, connect power cable to
BHR-4GRV2 and turn on it
6. Flashing (orange) diag LED and release the finger from the button,
BHR-4GRV2 downloads the intiramfs image from TFTP server and boot
with it
7. On the initramfs image, create "/etc/fw_env.config" file with
following contents
/dev/mtd1 0x0 0x10000 0x10000
8. Execute following commands to add environment variables for
u-boot
fw_setenv ipaddr 192.168.12.1
fw_setenv serverip 192.168.12.10
fw_setenv ethaddr 00:aa:bb:cc:dd:ee
fw_setenv bootcmd "bootm 0x9f050000 || bootm 0x9fe80000"
9. Perform sysupgrade with squashfs-sysupgrade image
10. Wait ~150 seconds to complete flashing

The bump to kernel 4.14 caused a massive increase in kernel size.
For most targets, switching them to dynamic partitioning allowed
to cope with this.
On some targets, the kernel partition is located behind the rootfs,
which disallows switching to dynamic partitioning as the boot location
would be altered, requiring a u-boot change.
Also within the tiny section, which disables kernel symbols etc
to decrease the image size, the partition size is still too small.
Disable these targets for now, fixing image generation:

Add a template for safeloader images and include it instead of
overwriting variables defined in the common tp-link build commands.
Split the existing tp-link templates to proper implement the safeloader
template.

Drop the LOADER_TYPE variables in case no loader is used at all or move
the variable to devices which are using a loader.

Use the provided image build variables to point the kernel-bin build
command to the kernel we are interested in.

Use the LOADER_TYPE variable to specify that we need the elf preloader
and append the loader via the corresponding build recipe. It allows to
enable initramfs images again for mikrotik NAND images, which caused a
build error before.
Add the minor header only to the kernel of the sysupgrade images, as it
is only required for the bootloader to find the kernel on flash.

Use the new dynamic partition split in tplink-safeloader so we no longer
have to worry about kernel size increases.

This PR adds support for a popular low-cost 2.4GHz N based AP
Specifications:
- SoC: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9533 (650MHz)
- RAM: 64MB
- Storage: 8 MB SPI NOR
- Wireless: 2.4GHz N based built into SoC 2x2
- Ethernet: 1x 100/10 Mbps, integrated into SoC, 24V POE IN
Installation:
Flash factory image through stock firmware WEB UI
or through TFTP
To get to TFTP recovery just hold reset button while powering on for
around 4-5 seconds and release.
Rename factory image to recovery.bin
Stock TFTP server IP:192.168.0.100
Stock device TFTP adress:192.168.0.254
Notes:
TP-Link does not use bootstrap registers so without this patch reference
clock detects as 40MHz while it is actually 25MHz.
This is due to messed up bootstrap resistor configuration on the PCB.
Provided GPL code just forces 25MHz reference clock.
That causes booting with completely wrong clocks, for example, CPU tries
to boot at 1040MHz while the stock is 650MHz.
So this PR depends on PR #672 to remove 40MHz reference clock.
Thanks to Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> for properly patching that.

This commit adds support for the Mikrotik wAP R (RBwAPR-2nD). The change
is based on 3b15eb0 which added support for the wAP 2nD. This change lacks
LED support.
Specifications:
- SoC: Qualcomm QCA9531 (650 MHz)
- RAM: 64 MB
- Storage: 16 MB NOR SPI flash
- Wireless: built-in QCA9531, 802.11b/g/n 2x2:2
- Ethernet: 1x100Mbps
- Power: 9-30V Passive PoE, 9-30V DC jack, 9-30V automotive jack
- SIM card slot
- Mini-PCIe slot
Installation:
1. Login to the Mikrotik WebUI to backup your licence key
2. Change the following settings in System->Routerboard->Settings:
- Boot device: try ethernet once then NAND
- Boot protocol: DHCP
- Force Backup Booter: checked
3. Setup a DHCP/BOOTP server with:
- DHCP-Option 66 (TFTP server name) pointing to a local TFTP
server within the same subnet of the DHCP range
- DHCP-Option 67 (Bootfile-Name) matching the initramfs filename
of the to be booted image, e.g.
openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-vmlinux-initramfs.elf
4. Power off the device
5. If this is the second attempt to boot OpenWRT or the boot device isn't
"try ethernet once then NAND," press and hold the reset button while
powered off. If this is the first attempt, this step isn't necessary.
6. Power on the device, holding the reset button for 15-20s if already
pressed from the previous step.
The board should load and start the initramfs image from the TFTP
server. Login as root/without password to the started OpenWRT via SSH
listing on IPv4 address 192.168.1.1. Use sysupgrade to install OpenWRT.
Revert to RouterOS
Use the "rbcfg" package on in OpenWRT:
- rbcfg set boot_protocol bootp
- rbcfg set boot_device ethnand
- rbcfg apply
Open Netinstall and reboot routerboard. Now Netinstall sees RouterBOARD
and you can install RouterOS. If NetInstall gets stuck on Sending offer
just wait for it to timeout and then close and open Netinstall again.
Click on install again.
In order for RouterOS to function properly, you need to restore license
for the device. You can do that by including license in NetInstall.
