There's no need to poll the gpio keys every 20 ms and the linux kernel
documentation suggests 100 ms.

Apart from the embedded BCM63268 wireless, this device has an external BCM4360
connected by PCIe which needs a fallback SPROM.
b43 isn't enabled for this device because BCM4360 isn't supported (AC PHY).

Stop using bmips b43-sprom fixups and switch to generic bcma/ssb fallback
SPROMs. This way we don't need to include the b43-sprom fixups on devices
without Broadcom wireless.

Sercomm SHG2500 is a BCM63168 with 128M of RAM, 256M of NAND, an external

The MDIO bus is supported but there are errors when trying to probe and
configure the external BCM5325E switch through B53 DSA.
Therefore, let's add basic ethernet (but working) support for now.

These patches have now received a positive review upstream, so let's add them
to pending patches.
776-net-dsa-b53-mmap-add-phy-ops.patch:
This is mostly bmips/bcm63xx-specific to get external switches working
without hanging the device when accessing certain registers.
777-net-dsa-b53-mdio-add-support-for-BCM53134:
This adds support for BCM53134 switch on DSA B53, so any target using DSA B53
can benefit from it.
Also fix sercomm-h500-s external switch IMP port phy-mode.

Sercomm H-500s is a BCM63268 with 128M, internal and external (Quantenna) wifi
and external BCM53134S switch.
This device is already supported in bcm63xx target, so more information can be
found in https://openwrt.org/toh/sercomm/h500-s.
It's a perfect example of a device with internal and external switch
coexistance since most devices only have ports on one of the switches but not
both of them.

These PCI drivers are a bit hacky and definitely not suitable for upstreaming,

This adds experimental ethernet support for BCM6318, BCM6328, BCM6362, BCM6368
and BCM63268.
BCM6358 needs a different driver, so there's no support for now.
Working devices:
- Comtrend AR-5315u
- Comtrend AR-5387un
- Comtrend VR-3025u
- Comtrend VR-3032u
Not working devices:
- Netgear DGND3700 v2 (no idea on how the external switch is connected)
- Huawei HG556a ver B (BCM6358 needs a separate driveer)

Introduce new patch for automatically detecting RAM size.
Some boards have a different amount of RAM depending on the HW revision.
Therefore, automatically detecting the RAM size instead of hard-coding it will
reduce the number of device definitions.

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.
