Kernel 4.9 is now working on the brcm47xx boards, we just recently fixed
the problem that some boards did not boot at all, by changing the memory
regions used to relocate the kernel to in the loader.

By default we are reusing the stack provided by CFE, like it is intended
by CFE. On my WRT54GS it is located at 0x8043BF30, so a big kernel image
could overwrite it. Relocate it to a different memory region which is
still under the 8MB RAM, but in the higher area. We only need this
memory region for the stack of the loader, Linux will set up this
for its own.

The boot process on a WRT54GL works the following way:
1. CFE gets loaded by the boot rom from flash
2. CFE loads the loader from the flash and gzip uncompresses it
3. CFE starts the loader
4. The loader stores the FW arguments and relocates itself to
BZ_TEXT_START (now 0x80600000)
5. The loader reads the Linux image from flash
6. The loader lzma decompresses the Linux image to LOADADDR (0x80001000)
7. The loader executes the uncompress Linux image at LOADADDR
The BZ_TEXT_START was set to 0x80400000 before. When the kernel gets
uncompressed and is bigger than BZ_TEXT_START - LOADADDR it overwrote
the loader which was currently uncompressing it and made the board
crash. Increase the BZ_TEXT_START my 2 MB to have more space for the
kernel. Even on 16MB RAM devices the memory goes till 0x80FFFFFF so this
should not be a problem.

This reverts commit 31e9445b7e.
"Linksys E1200 V1" is not a valid board name, as the brcm47xx arch code
can not detect this device. Stefan Lippers-Hollmann also found a typo in
this patch "cybetran" instead of "cybertan".

On Asus RT-N12 and RT-N16 models, the WAN and LAN4 ports are swapped in the
initial switch configuration since the presets present in nvram appear to be
wrong.
Add special casing for these models to detect_by_model() in order to ensure
a proper switch configuration.

Do not parse /tmp/sysinfo/board_name, /proc/cpuinfo or the device tree
compatible string directly. Always use the board_name function to get
the board name.
The admswconfig package still reads /proc/cpuinfo directly. The code
looks somehow broken and the whole adm5120 which uses this package
looks unmaintained. Leave it as it is for now.

On the Linksys WRT54GSv1, the Power LED flickers in the "off" state.
Indicate status using the DMZ LED if available, since it has solid "on" and
"off" states.

On the Linksys WRT54GSv1, the adm6996 switch driver and the
gpio_button_hotplug module both claim GPIO 6, which is connected to the
Reset button. When the switch driver's request wins, the Reset button
cannot work. This makes it impossible to enter failsafe mode without a
serial console.
Stop requesting the "adm_rc" GPIO in the switch driver, since it is not
used anywhere.

WL500GPv1 profile included ath5k which made it usable only for people
who decided to replace default BCM4318 card with Atheros one. We can't
have profile for every possible configuration. If someone adjusts hw in
such a way he can always install a proper package.
WRTSL54GS profile got extra packages for a specific USB usage. Our
standard profile provides basic USB and we should stick to this. We
can't make everyone happy by including packages for all common USB use
cases and all common filesystems.

Kernel 4.4 was ready for brcm47xx for almost a year now but I kept
postponing the bump due to problems with Linksys WRT300N v1.0. OpenWrt
and LEDE with 4.4 were hanging at the booting with the:
> Starting program at 0x80001000
(the last CFE message).
This was a permanent state, "make distclean" wasn't helping, I spent
hours debugging this and I was reliably reproducing the issue every
time. I also reported it on linux-mips ML in the thread:
> BCM4704 stopped booting with 4.4 (due to vmlinux size?)
After ~month I started working on WRT300N again. I got hangs as expected
every time I switched from 4.1 to 4.4. I started experimenting with:
1) TRX content (I tried dropping rootfs partition)
2) BZ_TEXT_START of lzma-loader
3) Flashing other variants of image: lzma compressed kernel (without a
loader), gzip compressed one, uncompressed one.
At some point I got rootfs-less image booting and after that I couldn't
reproduce problem anymore, even with a complete firmware. It seems like
hardware was in some locked/unstable state that got magically fixed.
I have LEDE working now, tested it even with "make distclean", it seems
we can bump kernel now. I'll keep testing it on WRT300N for some time.

Apart from using our new building system there are 2 more changes:
1) Limit amount of images
So far we were generating all standard images (optimized one and two
with no loader) for every SUBTARGET. This is not needed, as e.g. the
only device requiring gzipped kernel is legacy Huawei E970.
2) Change output names
The new image building system requires specifying device name. This
forced picking some and resulted in:
openwrt-brcm47xx-$(SUBTARGET)-squashfs.trx
openwrt-brcm47xx-$(SUBTARGET)-squashfs-gz.trx
openwrt-brcm47xx-$(SUBTARGET)-squashfs-noloader-nodictionary.trx
becoming:
openwrt-brcm47xx-$(SUBTARGET)-standard-squashfs.trx

compat-wireless/backports now contains a bcm47xx_nvram.h file to
backport some of the functions in it which are used by the bcmfmac
driver. This file just checks for the kernel versions and provide an
empty implementations on older kernel versions. This is OK on most
systems, but on bcm47xx / bcm53xx systems we want to call the real
functions here. This commit removes the file from backports in our
build process like we do it with the bcma and ssb header files. Instead
we add a recent version into our kernel so all code uses only one
header file. On bcm47xx / bcm53xx the real implementations of this code
will be used.

the trx utile uses a maximum image size of 7.2MB. There are brcm47xx
devices even with serial flash with bigger flash chips, but OpenWrt was
not able to create images for these devices. This patch provides an
additional parameter which increases this limit to 32 MB. There is a
warning in the trx utile code which suggests that bigger images could
overwrite the nvram partition on some devices, but normally the program
writing the image should make sure that it is safe to write it to the
flash.
