b40e6bc55f ath79: drop and consolidate redundant chosen/bootargs
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.

6648e9458f ath79: set mib-poll-interval on mdio0 attached ar83xx switch
Commit "generic: ar8216: add mib_poll_interval switch attribute" sets
mib-poll-interval as disabled by default (was set to 2s), so it makes
switch LEDs trigger disfunctional on devices which don't have
mib-poll-interval set.

So this patch sets mib-poll-interval to 500ms on devices which have
ar83xx switch connected to mdio0 bus, as the same value was set for
built in switches in 443fc9ac35 ("ath79: use ar8216 for builtin
switch").

Some measurements performed on TP-Link Archer C7-v5:

 mib-type=0, mib-poll-interval=500ms (10s pidstat)

  Average:  %usr %system  %guest   %wait    %CPU   CPU  Command
  Average:  0.00    1.93    0.00    0.00    1.93     -  kworker/0:2

  iperf3 (30s): 334 Mbits/sec

 mib-type=0, mib-poll-interval=2s (10s pidstat)

  Average:  %usr %system  %guest   %wait    %CPU   CPU  Command
  Average:  0.00    1.14    0.00    0.00    1.14     -  kworker/0:2

  iperf3 (30s): 334 Mbits/sec

So it seems like we get 4x faster LED refresh rate for additional 0.8%
CPU load.

d03aae1a09 ath79: add support for TP-Link Archer C6 v2
This patch adds support for TP-Link Archer C6 v2 (EU)

Hardware specification:
- SOC: Qualcomm QCA9563 @ 775MHz
- Flash: GigaDevice GD25Q64CSIG (8MiB)
- 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: There's no UART header on the board

Flash instructions:

Upload
openwrt-ath79-generic-tplink_archer-c6-v2-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 ArcherC6v2_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

According to the GPL source the non-EU variant has different
GPIOs assigned to some of the LEDs and buttons. The flash
layout might be different as well. The wikidevi entry for
Archer A6/C6 assumes they are identical.
