7054721cf9 ath79: enable UART in SoC DTSI files
The uart node is enabled on all devices except one (GL-USB150 *).
Thus, let's not have a few hundred nodes to enable it, but do not
disable it in the first place.

Where the majority of devices is using it, also move the serial0
alias to the DTSI.

*) Since GL-USB150 even defines serial0 alias, the missing uart
   is probably just a mistake. Anyway, disable it for now so this
   patch stays cosmetic.

Apply this to 21.02 as well to remove an unnecessary backporting
pitfall.

6f96a4d043 ath79: remove model name from LED labels
Currently, we request LED labels in OpenWrt to follow the scheme

  modelname:color:function

However, specifying the modelname at the beginning is actually
entirely useless for the devices we support in OpenWrt. On the
contrary, having this part actually introduces inconvenience in
several aspects:

  - We need to ensure/check consistency with the DTS compatible
  - We have various exceptions where not the model name is used,
    but the vendor name (like tp-link), which is hard to track
    and justify even for core-developers
  - Having model-based components will not allow to share
    identical LED definitions in DTSI files
  - The inconsistency in what's used for the model part complicates
    several scripts, e.g. board.d/01_leds or LED migrations from
    ar71xx where this was even more messy

Apart from our needs, upstream has deprecated the label property
entirely and introduced new properties to specify color and
function properties separately. However, the implementation does
not appear to be ready and probably won't become ready and/or
match our requirements in the foreseeable future.

However, the limitation of generic LEDs to color and function
properties follows the same idea pointed out above. Generic LEDs
will get names like "green:status" or "red:indicator" then, and
if a "devicename" is prepended, it will be the one of an internal
device, like "phy1:amber:status".

With this patch, we move into the same direction, and just drop
the boardname from the LED labels. This allows to consolidate
a few definitions in DTSI files (will be much more on ramips),
and to drop a few migrations compared to ar71xx that just changed
the boardname. But mainly, it will liberate us from a completely
useless subject to take care of for device support review and
maintenance.
To also drop the boardname from existing configurations, a simple
migration routine is added unconditionally.

Although this seems unfamiliar at first look, a quick check in kernel
for the arm/arm64 dts files revealed that while 1033 lines have
labels with three parts *:*:*, still 284 actually use a two-part
labelling *:*, and thus is also acceptable and not even rare there.

41cc7edc15 ath79: move dts-v1 statement to ath79.dtsi
The "/dts-v1/;" identifier is supposed to be present once at the
top of a device tree file after the includes have been processed.

In ath79, we therefore requested to have in the DTS files so far,
and omit it in the DTSI files. However, essentially the syntax of
the parent ath79.dtsi file already determines the DTS version, so
putting it into the DTS files is just a useless repetition.

Consequently, this patch puts the dts-v1 statement into the parent
ath79.dtsi, which is (indirectly) included by all DTS files. All
other occurences are removed.
Since the dts-v1 statement needs to be before any other definitions,
this also moves the includes to make sure the ath79.dtsi or its
descendants are always included first.

af9dee336d ath79: add support for Meraki MR16
Port device support for Meraki MR16 from the ar71xx target to ath79.

Specifications:

  * AR7161 CPU, 16 MiB Flash, 64 MiB RAM
  * One PoE-capable Gigabit Ethernet Port
  * AR9220 / AR9223 (2x2 11an / 11n) WLAN

Installation:

  * Requires TFTP server at 192.168.1.101, w/ initramfs & sysupgrade .bins
  * Open shell case and connect a USB to TTL cable to upper serial headers
  * Power on the router; connect to U-boot over 115200-baud connection
  * Interrupt U-boot process to boot Openwrt by running:
       setenv bootcmd bootm 0xbf0a0000; saveenv;
       tftpboot 0c00000 <filename-of-initramfs-kernel>.bin;
       bootm 0c00000;
  * Copy sysupgrade image to /tmp on MR16
  * sysupgrade /tmp/<filename-of-sysupgrade>.bin

Notes:

  - There are two separate ARTs in the partition (offset 0x1000/0x5000 and
    0x11000/0x15000) in the OEM device. I suspect this is an OEM artifact;
    possibly used to configure the radios for different regions,
    circumstances or RF frontends. Since the ar71xx target uses the
    second offsets, use that second set (0x11000 and 0x15000) for the ART.

  - kmod-owl-loader is still required to load the ART partition into the
    driver.

  - The manner of storing MAC addresses is updated from ar71xx; it is
    at 0x66 of the 'config' partition, where it was discovered that the
    OEM firmware stores it. This is set as read-only. If you are
    migrating from ar71xx and used the method mentioned above to
    upgrade, use kmod-mtd-rw or UCI to add the MAC back in. One more
    method for doing this is described below.

  - Migrating directly from ar71xx has not been thoroughly tested, but
    one method has been used a couple of times with good success,
    migrating 18.06.2 to a full image produced as of this commit. Please
    note that these instructions are only for experienced users, and/or
    those still able to open their device up to flash it via the serial
    headers should anything go wrong.

    1) Install kmod-mtd-rw and uboot-envtools
    2) Run `insmod mtd-rw.ko i_want_a_brick=1`
    3) Modify /etc/fw_env.config to point to the u-boot-env partition.
       The file /etc/fw_env.config should contain:

       # MTD device   env offset  env size    sector size
       /dev/mtd1      0x00000     0x10000     0x10000

       See https://openwrt.org/docs/techref/bootloader/uboot.config
       for more details.

    4) Run `fw_printenv` to verify everything is correct, as per the
       link above.
    5) Run `fw_setenv bootcmd bootm 0xbf0a0000` to set a new boot address.
    6) Manually modify /lib/upgrade/common.sh's get_image function:
       Change ...

       cat "$from" 2>/dev/null | $cmd

       ... into ...

       (
         dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=$((0x66)) ; # Pad the first 102 bytes
         echo -ne '\x00\x18\x0a\x12\x34\x56'  ; # Add in MAC address
         dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=$((0x20000-0x66-0x6)) ; # Pad the rest
         cat "$from" 2>/dev/null | $cmd
       )

       ... which, during the upgrade process, will pad the image by
       128K of zeroes-plus-MAC-address, in order for the ar71xx's
       firmware partition -- which starts at 0xbf080000 -- to be
       instead aligned with the ath79 firmware partition, which
       starts 128K later at 0xbf0a0000.

    7) Copy the sysupgrade image into /tmp, as above
    8) Run `sysupgrade -F /tmp/<sysupgrade>.bin`, then wait

    Again, this may BRICK YOUR DEVICE, so make *sure* to have your
    serial cable handy.

Addenda:

  - The MR12 should be able to be migrated in a nearly identical manner as
    it shares much of its hardware with the MR16.

  - Thank-you Chris B for copious help with this port.
