Hardware
--------
SoC: NXP P1010 (1x e500 @ 800MHz)
RAM: 256M DDR3 (2x Samsung K4B1G1646G-BCH9)
FLASH: 32M NOR (Spansion S25FL256S)
BTN: 1x Reset
WiFi: 1x Atheros AR9590 2.4 bgn 3x3
2x Atheros AR9590 5.0 an 3x3
ETH: 2x Gigabit Ethernet (Atheros AR8033 / AR8035)
UART: 115200 8N1 (RJ-45 Cisco)
Installation
------------
1. Grab the OpenWrt initramfs, rename it to ap3715.bin. Place it in
the root directory of a TFTP server and serve it at
192.168.1.66/24.
2. Connect to the serial port and boot the AP. Stop autoboot in U-Boot
by pressing Enter when prompted. Credentials are identical to the one
in the APs interface. By default it is admin / new2day.
3. Alter the bootcmd in U-Boot:
$ setenv ramboot_openwrt "setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1;
setenv serverip 192.168.1.66; tftpboot 0x2000000 ap3715.bin; bootm"
$ setenv boot_openwrt "sf probe 0; sf read 0x2000000 0x140000 0x1000000;
bootm 0x2000000"
$ setenv bootcmd "run boot_openwrt"
$ saveenv
4. Boot the initramfs image
$ run ramboot_openwrt
5. Transfer the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to the AP using SCP. Install
using sysupgrade.
$ sysupgrade -n <path-to-sysupgrade.bin>

The wrapper-image for the WL-WDR4900 was used as a build-target for the
kernel. This workd fine as long as only a single wrapper is used with
the OpenWrt build-system.
If additional wrappers are used, the build becomes racy in the
wrapper-stage.
The wrapper images actually do not represent a target. They are built
based on the kernel configuration. Only copy the resulting images to
avoid race-conditions as explained.

In subtarget p2020, there wasn't enabled nand support, and because of
that there weren't available tools from mtd-utils package, which has
utilities for NAND flash memory even though reference board, which
is the only currently supported device in p2020 subtarget has NAND [1].
All subtargets in mpc85xx has already enabled nand support, let's do it
globally.

The TP-Link WL-WDR4900 needs to be disabled when 5.10 becomes the
default kernel.
When building with all kmods enabled, the resulting kernel image
exceeds the maximum size the bootloader reads from the flash.

The mpc85xx-generic subtarget supports the QorIQ SoCs of the p1010
family. Rename the subtarget to reflect this affiliation as it's the
case with the other mpc85xx subtargets.
