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.

f84d6d2f3a ath79: fix firmware partition attributes for GL-AR300M16 and -Lite
During the introduction of the ath79/nand images for the GL-AR300M
series the firmware partition label and compatible were altered,
but the necessary adjustments have not been made for the
GL-AR300M16 and the GL-AR300M-Lite. This will result in a
non-bootable partition setup for these devices.

This patch adds the necessary definitions to those two devices.

Fixes: 55e6c903ae ("ath79: GL-AR300M: provide NAND support;
       increase to 4 MB kernel")
Fixes: b591cabd39 ("ath79: add GL.iNet GL-AR300M16 as NOR-only
       board")

b591cabd39 ath79: add GL.iNet GL-AR300M16 as NOR-only board
The GL.iNet GL-AR300M series of devices includes variants without NAND
and only the 16 MB NOR flash. These include the GL-AR300M16 and the
GL-AR300M-Lite (already with its own board name).

This board-name addition provides disambiguation from the NAND-bearing
GL-AR300M devices, both for OpenWrt code and for end users.

Kernel and firmware support for NAND and UBI will add ~320 kB to the
overall firmware size at this time. This NOR-only option continues to
provide more compact firmware for both the GL-AR300M16 as well as
those who wish to use it as an alternate or primary, NOR-resident
firmware on the GL-AR300M.

The ar71xx targets are unmodified.

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

Install through OEM U-Boot (HTTP-based) or `sysupgrade --force` when
booted from NOR and running OEM or OpenWrt, NOR-based firmware.

As one of the intentions is disambiguation from NAND-bearing units,
users who have flashed this firmware onto a device with NAND would
need to use U-Boot or `sysupgrade --force` to flash firmware that
again supports NAND.

There are no additional SUPPORTED_DEVICES as it is not possible to
determine if a device does or does not have NAND based on
either the OEM's or OpenWrt's board names prior to this patch.
