Move default cpufreq governor from ONDEMAND to PERFORMANCE. The temp
increase is just 2°C and Watt usage the change is minimal in the order
of additional millwatt. The SoC and krait in general looks to suffer for
some problem with cache scaling. To have better system stability, force
cpu freq and cache freq to the max value supported by the system. This
follows mvebu platform where cpufreq is broken and cause minimal
temp/watt increase.
User can still tweak the governor to ondemand using sysfs entry if
needed.

Backport initial LEDs hw control support. Currently this is limited to
only rx/tx and link events for the netdev trigger but the API got
accepted and the additional modes are working on and will be backported
later.
Refresh every patch and add the additional config flag for QCA8K new
LEDs support.

This allows loading modules with large memory requirements, recently needed
while testing on armvirt/32. Past forum discussions [1] and bug reports [2]
also raised this and the ipq806x target already set it in response [3].
Given this increases kernel image size by only ~1KB, is generally useful on
multi-platform kernels, and enabled by default on upstream arm32 Linux, add
it to the generic config.
The setting has similar utility on arm64, is a requirement for KASLR, and
already enabled on most OpenWrt aarch64 targets, so pull this into the
top-level generic config.
