Important notes:
the PLC firmware has to be provided and copied manually onto the
device! The PLC here has no dedicated flash, thus the firmware file
has to be uploaded to the PLC controller at every system start
the PLC functionality is managed by the script /etc/init.d/plc_basic,
a very basic script based on the the one from Netadair (netadair dot de)
Installation:
Asus windows recovery tool:
have to have the latest Asus firmware flashed before continuing!

Additional notes:
the pairing buttons have to have pressed for at least half a second,
it doesn't matter on which plc device (master or slave) first
it is possible to pair the devices without the button-pairing requirement
simply by pressing reset on the slave device. This will default to the
firmware settings, which is also how the plc_basic script is setting up
the master device, i.e. configuring it to firmware defaults
the PL-E56P slave PLC has its dedicated 4MByte SPI, thus it is capable
to store all firmware currently available. Note that some other
slave devices are not guarantied to have the capacity for the newer
~1MByte firmware blobs!
To have a good overlook about the slave device, here are its specs:
same QCA7500 PLC controller, same w631gg6kb-15 128MB RAM,
25L3233F 4MB SPI-NOR and an AR8035-A 1000M-Transceiver

Add support for Methode euroDPU which is based on uDPU but does not
have a second SFP cage, instead of which a Maxlinear G.hn IC is used.
PHY mode is set to 1000Base-X despite Maxlinear IC being capable of
2500Base-X since until 5.15 support for mvebu is available trying to use
2500Base-X will cause buffer overruns for which the fix is not easily
backportable.
Installation instructions:
1. Boot the FIT initramfs image (openwrt-mvebu-cortexa53-methode_edpu-initramfs.itb)
2. sysupgrade using the openwrt-mvebu-cortexa53-methode_edpu-firmware.tgz

uDPU DTS has pending upstream fixups, so backport those as well as split
the DTS into a DTSI and DTS in preparation for euroDPU support which
uses uDPU as the base.
Ethernet aliases have not yet been sent upstream but will be soon in order
for U-boot to set the correct MAC on both ethernet interfaces instead of
just one.
Since U-boot environment now has its own partition, update the envtools
config script to search for it instead.
Patch hardcoding PHY mode is also not applicable anymore, so drop it and
set in the uDPU DTS directly.

The MikroTik mAP-2nd (sold as mAP) is an indoor 2.4Ghz AP with
802.3af/at PoE input and passive PoE passthrough.
See https://mikrotik.com/product/RBmAP2nD for more details.
Specifications:
- SoC: QCA9533
- RAM: 64MB
- Storage: 16MB NOR
- Wireless: QCA9533 802.11b/g/n 2x2
- Ethernet: 2x 10/100 ports,
802.3af/at PoE in port 1, 500 mA passive PoE out on port 2
- 7 user-controllable LEDs
Note: the device is a tiny AP and does not distinguish between both
ethernet ports roles, so they are both assigned to lan.
With the current setup, ETH1 is connected to eth1 and ETH2 is connected
to eth0 via the embedded switch port 2.
Flashing:
TFTP boot initramfs image and then perform sysupgrade. The "ETH1" port
must be used to upload the TFTP image. Follow common MikroTik procedure
as in https://openwrt.org/toh/mikrotik/common.

Since 4e0c54bc5b ("kernel: add support for kernel 5.4"),
the spi-nor limit 4k erasesize to spi-nor chips below a configured size
patch has not functioned as intended.
For uniform erasesize SPI-NOR devices, both
nor->erase_opcode & mtd->erasesize are used in erase operations.
These are set before, and not modified by, this
CONFIG_MTD_SPI_NOR_USE_4K_SECTORS_LIMIT patch.
Thus, an SPI-NOR device with CONFIG_MTD_SPI_NOR_USE_4K_SECTORS will
always use 4k erasesize (where the device supports it).
If this patch was fixed to function as intended, there would be
cases where devices change from a 4K to a 64K erasesize.

OpenWrt now uses firewall4 (nft) by default,
so iptables should also default to nftables backend.
When multiple packages provide the same virtual package,
opkg pick the first one by alphabetical order,
so we rename iptables-legacy to iptables-zz-legacy and add
iptables-legacy in PROVIDES.
We also need to remove IPTABLES_NFTABLES config as
this cause recursive dependencies.

DGS-1210 switches support dual image, with each image composed of a
kernel and a rootfs partition. For image1, kernel and rootfs are in
sequence. The current OpenWrt image (written using a serial console),
uses those partitions together as the firmware partition, ignoring the
partition division. The current OEM u-boot fails to validate image1 but
it will only trigger firmware recovery if both image1 and image2 fail,
and it does not switch the boot image in case one of them fails the
check.
The OEM factory image is composed of concatenated blocks of data, each
one prefixed with a 0x40-byte cameo header. A normal OEM firmware will
have two of these blocks (kernel, rootfs). The OEM firmware only checks
the header before writing unconditionally the data (except the header)
to the correspoding partition.
The OpenWrt factory image mimics the OEM image by cutting the
kernel+rootfs firmware at the exact size of the OEM kernel partition
and packing it as "the kernel partition" and the rest of the kernel and
the rootfs as "the rootfs partition". It will only work if written to
image1 because image2 has a sysinfo partition between kernel2 and
rootfs2, cutting the kernel code in the middle.
Steps to install:
1) switch to image2 (containing an OEM image), using web or these CLI
commands:
- config firmware image_id 2 boot_up
- reboot
2) flash the factory_image1.bin to image1. OEM web (v6.30.016)
is crashing for any upload (ssh keys, firmware), even applying OEM
firmwares. These CLI commands can upload a new firmware to the other
image location (not used to boot):
- download firmware_fromTFTP <tftpserver> factory_image1.bin
- config firmware image_id 1 boot_up
- reboot
To debrick the device, you'll need serial access. If you want to
recover to an OpenWrt, you can replay the serial installation
instructions. For returning to the original firmware, press ESC during
the boot to trigger the emergency firmware recovery procedure. After
that, use D-Link Network Assistant v2.0.2.4 to flash a new firmware.
The device documentation does describe that holding RESET for 12s
trigger the firmware recovery. However, the latest shipped U-Boot
"2011.12.(2.1.5.67086)-Candidate1" from "Aug 24 2021 - 17:33:09" cannot
trigger that from a cold boot. In fact, any U-Boot procedure that relies
on the RESET button, like reset settings, will only work if started from
a running original firmware. That, in practice, cancels the benefit of
having two images and a firmware recovery procedure (if you are not
consider dual-booting OpenWrt).

Introduce a new option background_radar to toggle hostapd's background
radar feature. Enabling this allows DFS CAC to run on dedicated radio RF
chains while the radio(s) are otherwise running normal AP activities on
other channels.
As OpenWrt configures hostapd to use a channel list even when a single
channel is configured, using this feature requires a list of channels in
/etc/config/wireless. Alternatively, channel can be set to auto.

In Linux v5.14 an extra feature was introduced for the RTL8211F phy,
allowing to disable a clock output from the phy. Part of that patch is to
always (soft) reset the phy upon initialisation.
This phy reset is required to have a working ethernet on the TP-Link
EAP225-Outdoor v3 and EAP225 v4 after a reboot. Otherwise the ethernet
port will only function properly on cold boots.
