7d33aedd10 generic: platform/mikrotik: add wlan lz77 decompress
A number of new (or with recently updated caldata)
Mikrotik devices are using LZ77 magic for wlan tag hard_config data.
New devices include the Chateau LTE12 [1], and ax devices [2]
Newly factory flashed devices may include the hap ac3 [3]

This can be seen in decoded OEM supout [4] dmesg:
"radio data lz77 decompressed from"…

Investigating an arm RouterOS flash.ko module, and supplied example
hard_config dumps, the format was guessed via decompilation and live
debugging [5]. This decoder was then built from the guessed format
specification.

debug prints can be enabled in a DYNAMIC_DEBUG kernel build via the
kernel cmdline:

        chosen {
-               bootargs = "console=ttyS0,115200";
+               bootargs = "console=ttyS0,115200 dyndbg=\"file drivers/platform/mikrotik/* +p\"";
        };

73a9f9f857 generic: platform/mikrotik: add NVMEM layout driver
Currently, information from MikroTik hard_config is only available via
sysfs, meaning that we have to rely on userspace to for example setup MACs.

So, lets provide a basic NVMEM layout based driver to expose the same cells
as sysfs driver exposes.

Do note that the we dont extract the WLAN caldata and BDF-s at this point.

602b5f6c60 ipq40xx: cut ath10k board file for mikrotik subtarget
Avoid shipping ath10k board file in Mikrotik initram images

Most will only ever need to use these initram images once—to initially
load OpenWrt, but fix these images for more consistent Wi-Fi performance
between the initram and installed squashfs images.

OpenWrt BUILDBOT config ignores -cut packages in the initram images build.
This results in BUILDBOT initram images including the linux-firmware
qca4019 board-2.bin, and (initram image booted) Mikrotik devices loading
a generic BDF, rather than the intended BDF data loaded
from NOR as an api 1 board_file.

buildbot snapshot booted as initram image:
cat /etc/openwrt_version
r19679-810eac8c7f

5eee67a72f ipq40xx: mikrotik: dont include ath10k-board-qca4019 by default
Since MikroTik subtarget now uses dynamic BDF loading its crucial that it
doesnt include the board-2.bin at all which is provided by the
ath10k-board-qca4019 package.

So to resolve this dont include the ath10k-board-qca4019 package on the
MikroTik subtarget.

b779da27ef ipq40xx: add MikroTik subtarget
MikroTik devices require the use of raw vmlinux out of the self
extracting compressed kernels.

They also require 4K sectors, kernel2minor, partition parser as well as
RouterBoard platform drivers.

So in order to not add unnecessary code to the generic sub target lets
introduce a MikroTik sub target.
