0976b6c426 ramips: mt7620: use DTS to set PHY base address for external PHYs
Set the PHY base address to 12 for mt7530 and 8 for others,
which is based on the default setting for some devices
from printing the register with the following command
after it is written to by uboot during the boot cycle.

`md 0x10117014 1`

PHY_BASE option only uses 5 bits of the register,
bits 16 to 20, so use 8-bit integer type.

Set the option using the DTS property mediatek,ephy-base
and create the gsw node if missing.

Also, added a kernel message to display the EPHY base address.

Note:
If anything is written to a PHY address that is greater than 1 hex char (greater than 0xf)
then there is adverse effects with Atheros switches.

953bfe2eb3 ramips: mt7620: simplify DTS properties for GMAC
There are only 2 options in the driver
for the function of mt7620 internal switch port 4:

  EPHY mode (RJ-45, internal PHY)
  GMAC mode (RGMII, external PHY)

Let the DTS property be boolean instead of string
where EPHY mode is the default.

Fix how the properties are written
for all DTS that use them,
and add missing nodes where applicable,
and remove useless nodes,
and minor DTS formatting.

a509b80065 ramips: add support for the Wavlink WL-WN579X3
About the device
----------------

SoC: MediaTek MT7620a @ 580MHz
RAM: 64M
FLASH: 8MB
WiFi: SoC-integrated: MediaTek MT7620a bgn
WiFi: MediaTek MT7612EN nac
GbE: 2x (RTL8211F)
BTN: - WPS
- Reset
- Router/Repeater/AP (3-way slide-switch)
LED: - WPS (blue)
- 3-segment Wifi signal representation (blue)
- WiFi (blue)
- WAN (blue)
- LAN (blue)
- Power (blue)
UART: UART is present as Pads with through-holes on the PCB. They are
located next to the reset button and are labelled Vcc/TX/RX/GND as
appropriate. Use 3.3V, 57600-8N1.

Installation
------------

Using the webcmd interface
--------------------------

Warning: Do not update to the latest Wavlink firmware (version
20201201) as this removes the webcmd console and you will need to
use the serial port instead.

You will need to have built uboot/sqauashfs image for this device,
and you will need to provide an HTTP service where the image can
be downloaded from that is accessible by the device.
You cannot use the device manufacturers firmware upgrade interface
as it rejects the OpenWrt image.

1. Log into the device's admin portal. This is necessary to
   authenticate you as a user in order to be able to access the
   webcmd interface.
2. Navigate to http://<device-ip>/webcmd.shtml - you can access
   the console directly through this page, or you may wish to
   launch the installed `telnetd` and use telnet instead.
   * Using telnet is recommended since it provides a more
     convenient shell interface that the web form.
   * Launch telnetd from the form with the command `telnetd`.
   * Check the port that telnetd is running on using
     `netstat -antp|grep telnetd`, it is likely to be 2323.
   * Connect to the target using `telnet`. The username should
     be `admin2860`, and the password is your admin password.
3. On the target use `curl` to download the image.
   e.g.  `curl -L -O http://<some-other-lan-ip>/openwrt-ramips-mt7620-\
          wavlink_wl-wn579x3-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin`.
   Check the hash using `md5sum`.
4. Use the mtd_write command to flash the image.
   * The flash partition should be mtd4, but check
     /sys/class/mtd/mtd4/name first. The partition should be
     called 'Kernel'.
   * To flash use the following command:
     `mtd_write -r -e /dev/mtd<n> write <image-file> /dev/mtd<n>`
     Where mtd<n> is the Kernel partition, and <image-file> is
     the OpenWrt image previously downloaded.
   * The command above will erase, flash and then reboot the
     device. Once it reboots it will be running OpenWrt.

Connect via ssh to the device at 192.168.1.1 on the LAN port.
The WAN port will be configured via DHCP.

Using the serial port
---------------------

The device uses uboot like many other MT7260a based boards. To
use this interface, you will need to connect to the serial
interface, and provide a TFTP server. At boot follow the
bootloader menu and select option 2 to erase/flash the image.
Provide the address and filename details for the tftp server.
The bootloader will do the rest.

Once the image is flashed, the board will boot into OpenWrt. The
console is available over the serial port.
