Adjusting dts will cause a rebuild of whole kernel as the buildroot
considers this a part of kernel source. It's a royal PITA when trying to
prepare support for new device, since this takes a lot of time on slower
systems. As it stands, buildroot itself, with own rule, also compiles
dtbs and the results are $(KDIR)/image-$(DEVICE_DTS).dtb. With setting
DEVICE_DTS_DIR to directory holding the device dts (similarly to some
other targets), buildroot doesn't consider changed dts as part of kernel
source and rebuilds only dtb. This really speeds up development. And
since the kernel built dts are no longer used, drop the paches adding
dtses to its build.

The MikroTik wAP ac (RBwAPG-5HacD2HnD) is a dual-band dual-radio
802.11ac wireless access point with integrated antenna and two Ethernet
ports in a weatherproof enclosure. See
https://mikrotik.com/product/wap_ac for more information.
Important: this is the new ipq40xx-based wAP ac, not the older
ath79-based wAP ac (RBwAPG-5HacT2HnD), already supported in OpenWrt.
Specifications:
- SoC: Qualcomm Atheros IPQ4018
- CPU: 4x ARM Cortex A7
- RAM: 128MB
- Storage: 16MB NOR flash
- Wireless
- 2.4GHz: Built-in IPQ4018 (SoC) 802.11b/g/n 2x2:2, 2.5 dBi antennae
- 5GHz: Built-in IPQ4018 (SoC) 802.11a/n/ac 2x2:2, 2.5 dBi antennae
- Ethernet: Built-in IPQ4018 (SoC, QCA8075), 2x 1000/100/10Mb/s ports,
one with 802.3af/at PoE in
Installation:
Boot the initramfs image via TFTP, then flash the sysupgrade image using
sysupgrade. Details at https://openwrt.org/toh/mikrotik/common.
Notes:
This preserves the MAC addresses of the physical Ethernet ports:
- eth0 corresponds to the physical port labeled ETH1 and has the base
MAC address. This port can be used to power the device.
- eth1 corresponds to the physical port labeled ETH2 and has a MAC
address one greater than the base.
MAC addresses are set from /lib/preinit/05_set_iface_mac_ipq40xx.sh
rather than /etc/board.d/02_network so that they are in effect for
preinit. This should likely be done for other MikroTik devices and
possibly other non-MikroTik devices as well.
As this device has 2 physical ports, they are each connected to their
respective PHYs, allowing the link status to be visible to software.
Since they are not marked on the case with any role (such as LAN or
WAN), both are bridged to the lan network by default, although this can
easily be changed if needed.

The Meraki MR74 is part of the "Insect" series. This device is
essentially an outdoor variant of the MR33 with identical hardware, but
requiring a config@3 DTS option to be set to allow booting with the
stock u-boot.
The install procedure is replicated from the MR33, with the exception
being that the MR74 sysupgrade image must be used.

Linux' upstream MTD-Maintainer Miquèl Raynal noted:
|Reverting seems the safest option here, not knowing how many devices
|have these damaged/counterfeit chips. If it is just a couple and only on
|Fritzboxes, as suggested in the Github issue this patch could be
|carried through OpenWrt and that would seem more future proof IMHO.
This patch follows up with the first patch. It actually
moves the patches out of target/linux/generic/pending into
the ipq40xx's patch heap and adds a little note what happend.

This patch adds support for Linksys WHW01 v1 ("Velop") [FCC ID Q87-03331].
Specification
-------------
SOC: Qualcomm IPQ4018
WiFi 1: Qualcomm QCA4019 IEEE 802.11b/g/n
WiFi 2: Qualcomm QCA4019 IEEE 802.11a/n/ac
Bluetooth: Qualcomm CSR8811 (A12U)
Ethernet: Qualcomm QCA8072 (2-port)
SPI Flash 1: Mactronix MX25L1605D (2MB)
SPI Flash 2: Winbond W25M02GV (256MB)
DRAM: Nanya NT5CC128M16IP-DI (256MB)
LED Controller: NXP PCA963x (I2C)
Buttons: Single reset button (GPIO).
Notes
-----
There does not appear to be a way to trigger TFTP recovery without entering
U-Boot. The device must be opened to access the serial console in order to
first flash OpenWrt onto a device from factory.
The device has automatic recovery backed by a second set of partitions on
the larger of the two SPI flash ICs. Both the primary and secondary must
be flashed to prevent accidental rollback to "factory" after 3 failed boot
attempts.
Serial console
--------------
A serial console is available on the following pins of the populated J2
connector on the device mainboard (115200 8n1).

Installation instructions
-------------------------
1. Setup TFTP server with server IP set to 192.168.1.236.
2. Copy compiled `...squashfs-factory.bin` to `nodes-jr.img` in tftp root.
3. Connect to console using pinout detailed in the serial console section.
4. Power on device and press enter when prompted to drop into U-Boot.
5. Flash first partition device via `run flashimg`.
6. Once complete, reset device and allow to power up completely.
7. Once comfortable with device upgrade reboot and drop back into U-Boot.
8. Flash the second partition (recovery) via `run flashimg2`.
Revert to "factory"
-------------------
1. Download latest firmware update from vendor support site.
2. Copy extracted `.img` file to `nodes-jr.img` in tftp root.
3. Connect to console using pinout detailed in the serial console section.
4. Power on device and press enter when prompted to drop into U-Boot.
5. Flash first partition device via `run flashimg`.
6. Once complete, reset device and allow to power up completely.
7. Once comfortable with device upgrade reboot and drop back into U-Boot.
8. Flash the second partition (recovery) via `run flashimg2`.
