In ath79, for several SoCs the console bootargs are defined to the
very same value in every device's DTS. Consolidate these definitions
in the SoC dtsi files and drop further redundant definitions elsewhere.
The only device without any bootargs set has been OpenMesh OM5P-AC V2.
This will now inherit the setting from qca955x.dtsi
While this is a cosmetic change, backporting it to 19.07 will be a
major help for anyone doing backports of device support. Without it,
every backporter would have to remember to manually add the chosen node
to the device's DTS.

(cherry picked from commit 635f111148)
This ports support for these devices from ar71xx.
Specification:
- System-On-Chip: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9533
- CPU/Speed: v3: 560 MHz, v4: 650 MHz
- Flash: 4096 KiB
- RAM: 32 MiB
- Ethernet: 1 port @ 100M
- Wireless: SoC-integrated: QCA9533 2.4GHz 802.11bgn
In contrast to the implementation in ar71xx (reset and WiFi button),
the device actually features reset and WPS buttons.
Flashing instructions:
Upload the ...-factory.bin file via OEM web interface.
TFTP Recovery:
1. Set PC to fixed IP address 192.168.0.66
2. Download *-factory.bin image and rename it to
wa801ndv3_tp_recovery.bin
3. Start a tftp server with the image file in its root directory
4. Turn off the router
5. Press and hold Reset button
6. Turn on router with the reset button pressed and wait ~15 seconds
7. Release the reset button and after a short time
the firmware should be transferred from the tftp server
8. Wait ~30 second to complete recovery.
TFTP recovery has only been tested with v3, and the Wiki states
that the procedure won't work for v4, which cannot be verified
or falsified at the moment.
