6613a7f5cc ath79: add missing reset-gpios for NanoStation Loco M (XW)
When porting support from ar71xx to ath79, the reset-gpios option was
missed. Due to a hardware bug, this would eventually leave the devices
with RX-deaf Ethernet PHY.

55c153538d ath79: fix TP-Link TL-WA901ND v2 PHY stuck in reset
Some newer bootloaders for the TP-Link TL-WA901ND put the ethernet PHY
in reset before loading the kernel, thus the LAN interface is not
working in OpenWrt.

Clear the reset to restore ethernet functionality.

18c95c9d6e ath79: add gpio4 pinmux on TL-WR841N/ND v8, WR842N v2, MR3420 v2
This adds a pinmux to the shared DTSI for TP-Link TL-WR841N/ND v8,
TL-WR842N v2 and TL-MR3420 v2. It is supposed to be the equivalent
of:

/* config gpio4 as normal gpio function */
ath79_gpio_output_select(TL_MR3420V2_GPIO_USB_POWER,AR934X_GPIO_OUT_GPIO);

This allows to enable USB power on these devices.

While at it, move the jtag_disable_pins to &gpio node and remove the
redundant status=okay there.

Tested on TP-Link TL-WR842N v2.

273e00c4a5 ath79: reorganize DTSI for ar7240 TP-Link devices
The current set of TP-Link devices with ar7240 SoC all share
the same DTSI file. As the latter is very similar to the
definition required for the to-be-supported TP-Link TL-WA devices
with ar7240, this patch splits the definitions into a shared part
for all TP-Link devices (ar7240_tplink.dtsi) and a file containing
the specific setup for the present TL-WR devices
(ar7240_tplink_tl-wr.dtsi), equivalent to the former
ar7240_tplink_tl-wr74xn-v1.dtsi.

While at it, remove unused firmware partition label and rename
pinmux_switch_led_pins.

 - RAM: 128 MB DDR2 (Winbond W971GG6SB-25)
 - Storage: 16 MB NOR (Winbond 25Q128JVSO)
 - WAN: 1x 10/100 PoE ethernet (48v)
 - LAN: 4x 10/100 ethernet

 - USB: one external USB2.0 port
 - UART: 3.3v, 2.54mm headers already populated on board
 - LED: 7x external
 - Button: 1x external
 - Boot: U-Boot 1.1.4 (pepe2k/u-boot_mod)

MAC addressing:

- flash (art partition)
  0x0    *:40 (label)
  0x6    *:42
  0x1002 *:41
  0x5006 *:43

This device contains valid MAC addresses in art 0x0, 0x6, 0x1002 and
0x5006, however the vendor firmware only reads from art:0x0 for the LAN
interface and then increments in 02_network. They also jump 8 addresses
for the second wifi interface (2.4 GHz). This behavior has been duplicated
in the DTS and ath10k hotplug to align addresses with the vendor firmware
v2.6.0.

Recovery instructions:

This device contains built-in u-boot tftp recovery.

1. Configure PC with static IP 192.168.1.10/24 and tftp server.
2. Place desired image at /firmware_auto.bin at tftp root.
3. Connect device to PC, and power on.
4. Device will fetch flash from tftp, flash and reboot into new image.

b4d3110ac1 ath79: add support for GL.iNet 6408/6416 (GL.iNet V1)
This ports the GL.iNet 6408/6416 from ar71xx.

The GL-Connect GL.iNet v1 routers are basically a TP-Link TL-WR710N with
more DRAM/Flash and console/GPIO header in the same small form-factor.

Specifications:
 - SoC: Atheros AR9331
 - CPU: 400 MHz
 - Flash: 8/16 MiB
 - RAM: 64 MiB
 - WiFi: 2.4 GHz b/g/n (SoC)
 - Ethernet: 2x 100M ports (LAN/WAN)
 - USB: 1x 2.0

The difference between 6408 and 6416 is just the flash size. It looks like
only the 16 MiB version has been advertised, while the 6408 is a modified
version. There are also 1-port versions sold by third parties.

Installation:
Install the sysupgrade image via stock firmware GUI or upload it via uboot
(web-based). The device will be available at 192.168.1.1.

Attention: In ar71xx, the same board name is used for both flash versions.
So, please make sure you flash the correct ath79 image when upgrading.

This has been device-tested on a GL.iNet 6416.

a66a1eb9c5 ath79: add support for TP-Link TL-WA850RE v2
TP-Link TL-WA850RE v2 is a wall-plug N300 Wi-Fi range extender,
based on Qualcomm/Atheros QCA9533 v2.

Short specification:

- 550/391/195 MHz (CPU/DDR/AHB)
- 1x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
- 32 MB of RAM (DDR1)
- 4 MB of FLASH
- 2T2R 2.4 GHz
- 2x internal antennas (embedded on PCB)
- 9x LED (all can be turned off with GPIO15), 2x button
- UART (J3) header on PCB

Flash instruction: use "factory" image directly in vendor GUI.

Warning: this device does not include any kind of recovery mechanism
in the bootloader and disassembling process is not trivial.

You can access vendor firmware over serial line using:
- login: root
- password: sohoadmin

Stock firmware uses label MAC address for WiFi and same with local
bit set for ethernet. Since this is difficult to reproduce with
the toolset of OpenWrt, we just keep both ethernet and WiFi to
the same address here.

This is the first tiny device with tplink-safeloader in ath79.
Firmware partition is only 3648k and thus even smaller than for
the tplink-4m(lzma) devices.

a8898f1a11 ath79: use upstream properties to disable EEE
The hack-patch which introduced the "at803x-disable-smarteee" for
disabling SmartEEE did in fact not disable SmartEEE but rather disabled
802.3az "standard" EEE.

This can be done by using the upstream properties "eee-broken-100tx" and
"eee-broken-1000t". EEE is then disabled by the PHY subsystem.

Tested on devolo WiFi pro 1200e.

b99b60b2f1 ath79: add support for TP-Link TL-MR6400
This device is an LTE router supported in ar71xx so far.
As per original commit, hardware specifications (v1.0 EU):
- SoC: QCA9531
- Flash: Winbond W25Q64FV (8MiB)
- RAM: EtronTech EM6AB160TSE-5G (64MiB)
- Wireless: SoC platform only (2.4GHz b/g/n, 2x internal antenna)
- Ethernet: 2NIC (3x100M + 1x100M)
- WWAN: TP-LINK LTE MODULE (2x external detachable antenna)
- Power: DC 12V 1A

Flashing instructions:
You can flash via tftp recovery (serve factory image as /mr6400_tp_recovery.bin
on 192.168.0.66/24, connect to any ethernet port and power on device while
holding the reset button). Flashing via OEM web interface does not work.

Known issues:
- LTE module does not always come up during boot (showing USB enumeration errors). Similar behavior has been reported at least from one user for ar71xx, too. Turning USB off and on again will serve as a workaround.
- eth0 (LAN) always shows carrier as 1 even if no cable is plugged in (this works "correctly" on ar71xx)

Using the LED of network interfaces for status (boot/failsafe/...)
indication is somewhat misleading, as the blinking might be
mistaken for network activity. This uses rssi LEDs instead, which
do not blink normally and thus are less ambiguous.

The rssihigh LED has also been used consistently for the TP-Link CPE

Important Notes
===============
0. NOR Flash (2 MiB) is not touched by OpenWrt installation.
1. NAND Flash (128 MiB) layout under OpenWrt is changed as follows:
   all space is split between 4 MiB kernel and 124 MiB UBI areas;
   vendor partitions (language and mtdoops) are removed; kernel space
   size can be further expanded if needed; maximum image size is set
   to 25600k for compatibility reasons and can also be increased.
2. CPU clock is 775 MHz, not 750 MHz.
3. 5 GHz wireless radio chip is Atheros AR9580-AR1A with bogus PCI
   device ID 0xabcd. For ath9k driver to load successfully, this is
   overriden in DTS with correct value for this chip, 0x0033.
4. RFKILL button is wired to AR9580 pin 9 which is normally disabled
   by chip definition in ath9k code (0x0000F4FF gpio mask). Therefore
   'qca,gpio-mask=<0xf6ff>' hack must be used for button to work
   properly.
5. USB port is always on, no GPIO for 5V power control has been
   identified.

Installation
============
  * TFTP recovery
  * TFTP via U-boot prompt
  * sysupgrade
  * Web interface

Specifications:

- FCC ID: KA2IR615E3
- SoC: MIPS32 24K 400 MHz Atheros AR7240
- RAM: 32 MiB DDR SDRAM ESMT M13S2561616A-5T

- Ethernet: 5x 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet
- LEDs: 9x GPIO, 1x ath9k
- Buttons: 2x tactile switches
- UART: 3.3 V, 115200 8n1
- USB: simple hardware modification required, 1x USB 1.1 Full Speed

Partitioning notes:

Vendor firmware (based on CameoAP99) defines two additional partitions:
"mac" @0x3b0000, size 0x10000 and "lp" @0x3c0000, size 0x30000.

The "mac" partition stores LAN MAC address and hardware board name.
However, the vendor firmware uses addresses from "nvram" partition, and
the board name is used only for informational purposes in the Web
interface (included in the pages' header), not affecting the firmware
image check.

The "lp" partition is supposed to contain a "language pack" (which can
be used to add an additional language support to the Web interface) and
is flashed separately, using the vendor firmware upgrade page.

Since these partitions are absolutely useless for OpenWrt and
overwriting them doesn't prevent downgrading to obsolete vendor
firmware, this patch appends the valueable space to "firmware".

Installation instructions:

- Upgrade from OpenWrt ar71xx with "sysupgrade -f -n"
or
- Upload as a firmware update via the vendor Web-interface
or
- Connect UART and use "loady" to upload and run OpenWrt initramfs
  image, then sysupgrade from it (TFTP client doesn't work)
or
- Before powering up hold "reset" button and keep it pressed for about
  15 seconds after, then access fail safe Web server on 192.168.0.1 (the
  old uIP TCP/IP protocol stack is not compatible with modern Linux, the
  kernel, so you'll need to use some other OS to do this). Can be
  performed without a Web-browser too:

while preserving ART backup. No data is wiped or moved away.

This commit replaced gpio-exports in favor of gpio-hogs for enabling USB

present on this device for a long time. It was agreed on a mailing list
[1] that this is not the way to go, and this patch breaks a very common
use-case of WWAN modem reset by power cycle, used on a lot USB equipped

231dc26867 treewide: remove dts-v1 identifier from DTSI files
The "/dts-v1/;" identifier is supposed to be put once at the beginning
of a device tree file. Thus, it makes no sense to provide it a second
time in to-be-included DTSI files.

This removes the identifier from all DTSI files in /target/linux.

Most of the DTS files in OpenWrt do contain the "/dts-v1/;". It is
missing for most of the following targets, though:
mvebu, ipq806x, mpc85xx, ipq40xx

This does not touch ipq806x for now, as the bump to 4.19 is close.

* WiFi 5GHz: Ubiquiti U-AME-G1-BR4A (rebranded QCA988X v2)
* LEDs: 1x Power, 1x Ethernet
* Buttons: 1x Reset
* UART: 1x TTL 115200n8, 3.3V RX TX GND, 3.3V pin closest to RJ45 port

The LEDs do not seem to be connected to any GPIO, so there is currently
no way to control them.

Installation via U-Boot, TFTP and serial console:
* Configure your TFTP server with IP 192.168.1.254
* Connect serial console and power up the device
* Hit any key to stop autoboot
* tftpboot 0x81000000 openwrt-ath79-generic-ubnt_litebeam-ac-gen2-initramfs-kernel.bin
* bootm 0x81000000
* copy openwrt-ath79-generic-ubnt_litebeam-ac-gen2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
  to /tmp
* sysupgrade /tmp/openwrt-ath79-generic-ubnt_litebeam-ac-gen2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

9b90dc05f5 ath79: add support for TP-Link Archer C6 v2 (US) and A6 (US/TW)
This patch is based on #1689 and adds support for TP-Link Archer
C6 v2 (US) and A6 (US/TW).

The hardware is the same as EU and RU variant, except for GPIOs
(LEDS/Buttons), flash(chip/partitions) and UART being available
on the board.

- SOC: Qualcomm QCA9563 @ 775MHz
- Flash: GigaDevice GD25Q127CS1G (16MiB)
- RAM: Zentel A3R1GE40JBF (128 MiB DDR2)
- Ethernet: Qualcomm QCA8337N: 4x 1Gbps LAN + 1x 1Gbps WAN
- Wireless:
  - 2.4GHz (bgn) QCA9563 integrated (3x3)
  - 5GHz (ac) Qualcomm QCA9886 (2x2)
- Button: 1x power, 1x reset, 1x wps
- LED: 6x LEDs: power, wlan2g, wlan5g, lan, wan, wps
- UART: 115200, 8n1 (header available on board)

Known issues:
 - Wireless: 5GHz is known to have lower RSSI signal, it affects speed and range.

Flash instructions:

Upload openwrt-ath79-generic-tplink_archer-c6-v2-us-squashfs-factory.bin
via the router Web interface.

Flash instruction using tftp recovery:

1. Connect the computer to one of the LAN ports of the router
2. Set the computer IP to 192.168.0.66
3. Start a tftp server with the OpenWrt factory image in the
   tftp root directory renamed to ArcherA6v2_tp_recovery.bin.
4. Connect power cable to router, press and hold the
   reset button and turn the router on
5. Keep the reset button pressed until the WPS LED lights up
6. Wait ~150 seconds to complete flashing

Flash partitioning: I've followed #1689 for defining the partition layout
for this patch. The partition named as "tplink" @ 0xfd0000 is marked
as read only as it is where some config for stock firmware are stored.
On stock firmware those stock partitions starts at 0xfd9400 however
I had not been able to make it functional starting on the same address as
on stock fw, so it has been partitioned following #1689 and not the stock
partition layout for this specific partition. Due to that firmware/rootfs
partition lenght is 0xf80000 and not 0xf89400 as stock.

According to the GPL code, the EU/RU/JP variant does have different GPIO pins
assignment to LEDs and buttons, also the flash memory layout is different.

c08ddfce3f ath79: rename EEPROM to art
This renames all remaining occurrences of "EEPROM" to "art" to
further harmonize the partition labelling in ath79. This will
help to reduce the amount of user-space code and might be
beneficial when code is copy/pasted in the future.

Affected are only devices from Ubiquiti, where the XM board is
already using "art" in ath79.
