At this moment kernel partition in Linksyses EA3500/E4200/EA4500 is
ended before start of rootfs partition. It was introduced in 9808b9ae02
and it broke easy revert to stock. Sysupgrade, when OFW is used, write
whole stock image to kernel partition. Most likeley image will be bigger
than small kernel partition and it make stock system invalid.
This patch change size of kernel partitions and now it overlaps rootfs.
Revert to stock will be possible again.

This patch has been carried since introduction throughout every kernel
major bump and no one has tested if the later kernels improved the
situation. The Armada 3720 SoC can only process GbE interrupts on Core 0
and this is already limited in all stable kernels, so ditch this
workaround for 64 bit SoCs.

Flash instructions:
The device is running OpenWrt upon release using the ar71xx target.
Both a sysupgrade
and uploading the factory image using u-boots web-UI do work fine.
Depending on the ssh client, it might be necessary to enable outdated
KeyExchange methods e.g. in the clients ssh-config:
Host 192.168.1.1
KexAlgorithms +diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
The stock credentials are: root onioneer
For u-boots web-UI manually configure `192.168.1.2/24` on your computer,
connect to `192.168.1.1`.

Based on the discussion on the mailing list [1], the patch which was
reverted, it reverts only one patch without the subsequent ones.
This leads to the SoC scaling issue not using a CPU parent clock, but
it uses DDR clock. This is done for all variants, and it's wrong because
commits (hacks) that were using the DDR clock are no longer in the mainline kernel.
If someone has stability issues on 1.2 GHz, it should not affect all
routers (1 GHz, 800 MHz) and it should be rather consulted with guys, who are trying to
improve the situation in the kernel and not making the situation worse.
There are two solutions in cases of instability:
a) disable cpufreq
b) underclock it up to 1 GHz
This reverts commit 080a0b74e3.

Analysis done by Denis Kalashnikov:
It seems that some ROS versions on some routerboard models have this bug:
after silence boot (no output to uart, no beeps) beeper clicks when wireless traffic is.
https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=92269https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=63399
From these links:
1)
Hello, I have RB951G-2HnD and I noticed strange thing
when I loaded the device with some wireless traffic it
produced strange sound - like hissing, fizzing etc.
2)
Same problem still on 6.33, with silent boot enabled
I hear buzzing noise on wireless load.
3)
The sound is fixed in v5.19, it was a bug that caused beeper to make clicks.
It also got fixed in RouterOS:
* What's new in 5.19 (2012-Jul-16 10:51):
fix ticking sound on RB411UAHL;
* What's new in 6.38.3 (2017-Feb-07 09:52):
rb3011 - fixed noise from buzzer after silent boot;
I've checked with an oscilloscope that:
* When on the ssr beeper pin is 0,
on the beeper itself is 1 (~5V),
and when on the ssr beeper pin is 1,
on the beeper is 0
The beeper doesn't consume power,
so 1 should be a default/idle value for the ssr beeper pin).
* When there is wireless traffic (ping packets)
in the background and the beeper clicks, I see
pulses on the beeper itself,
but no pulses on the ssr beeper pin (Q5 pin of 74hc595).
When I manually toggle the ssr beeper pin I see pulses on both.
So, it is likely that the phantom beeper clicks are caused by the EMI.

Currently, the option to disable subpage writing is only set

OpenWrt uses the standard Linux crypto API in the wifi drivers now
and this probably makes the system offload more crypto operations to
special hardware like the Lantiq DEU. There is probably a bug in the DEU
and these operations fail and then hostapd does not start the interface.
Do not include the Lantiq DEU by default any more.

PHY capabilities are currently read from the fiber status page, thus

limiting operation to 1000 Base-T.

The issue itself is properly fixed kernel upstream, however backporting

Before recent changes to the mtdsplit driver,
the uImage parser for OKLI only supported images
that started exactly on an eraseblock boundary.
The mtdsplit parser for uImage now supports identifying images
with any magic number value
and at any offset from the eraseblock boundary
using DTS properties to define those values.
So, it is no longer necessary to use fixed sizes

Use a similar upgrade method for sysupgrade.bin, like factory.bin,
for Senao boards with the tar.gz OEM upgrade platform,
and 'failsafe' image which is loaded on checksum failure.
This is inspired by the OEM upgrade script /etc/fwupgrade.sh
and the existing platforms for dual-boot Senao boards.
Previously, if the real kernel was damaged or missing
the only way to recover was with UART serial console,
because the OKLI lzma-loader is programmed to halt.
uboot did not detect cases where kernel or rootfs is damaged
and boots OKLI instead of the failsafe image,
because the checksums stored in uboot environment
did not include the real kernel and rootfs space.
Now, the stored checksums include the space for both
the lzma-loader, kernel, and rootfs.
Therefore, these boards are now practically unbrickable.
Also, the factory.bin and sysupgrade.bin are now the same,
except for image metadata.
This allows for flashing OEM image directly from openwrt
as well as flashing openwrt image directly from OEM.
Make 'loader' partition writable so that it can be updated
during a sysupgrade.

the stored checksum is made with the 64k blocksize length

2.
for boards with flash chips that support 4k sectors:
saving configuration over sysupgrade is not possible
because sysupgrade.tgz is appended at a 64k boundary
and the mtd parser starts JFFS2 at a 4k boundary.
for boards with flash chips that do not support 4k sectors:
partitioning with 4k boundaries causes a boot loop
from the mtd parser not finding kernel and rootfs.
Also:
Some of the Senao boards that belong in ath79/tiny,
for example ENH202,
have a flash chip that does not support 4k sectors
(no SECT_4K symbol in upstream source).
Because of this, partitioning must be different for these devices
depending on the flash chip model detected by the kernel.
Therefore:
this creates 2 DTSI files
to replace the single one with 64k partitioning
for 4k and 64k partitioning respectively.

By using the same custom kernel header magic
in both OKLI lzma-loader, DTS, and makefile
this hack is not necessary anymore
However, "rootfs" size and checksum
must now be supplied by the factory.bin image
through a script that is accepted by the OEM upgrade script.
This is because Senao OEM scripts assume a squashfs header exists
at the offset for the original "rootfs" partition
which is actually the kernel + rootfs in this implementation,
and takes size value from the header that would be there with hexdump,
but this offset is now the uImage header instead.
This frees up 1 eraseblock
previously used by the "fakeroot" partition
for bypassing the OEM image verification.
Also, these Senao devices with a 'failsafe' partition
and the tar-gz factory.bin platform would otherwise require
flashing the new tar-gz sysupgrade.bin afterward.
So this also prevents having to flash both images
when starting from OEM or 'failsafe'
the OEM upgrade script verifies the header magic numbers,
but only the first two bytes.
Example:
[ "${magic_word_kernel}" = "2705" ] &&
[ "${magic_word_rootfs}" = "7371" -o "${magic_word_rootfs}" = "6873" ] &&
errcode="0"
therefore picked the magic number
0x73714f4b
which is
'sqOK'
