f84d6d2f3a ath79: fix firmware partition attributes for GL-AR300M16 and -Lite
During the introduction of the ath79/nand images for the GL-AR300M
series the firmware partition label and compatible were altered,
but the necessary adjustments have not been made for the
GL-AR300M16 and the GL-AR300M-Lite. This will result in a
non-bootable partition setup for these devices.

This patch adds the necessary definitions to those two devices.

Fixes: 55e6c903ae ("ath79: GL-AR300M: provide NAND support;
       increase to 4 MB kernel")
Fixes: b591cabd39 ("ath79: add GL.iNet GL-AR300M16 as NOR-only
       board")

55e6c903ae ath79: GL-AR300M: provide NAND support; increase to 4 MB kernel
The GL.iNet GL-AR300M has been supported by the ar71xx and ath79
platforms with access to its 16 MB NOR flash, but not its 128 MB
SPI NAND flash.

This commit provides support for the NAND through the upstream
SPI-NAND framework. Devices with both NOR and NAND flash can support
independent firmware on each, with U-Boot able to boot from either.
The OEM U-Boot will fall back to the NOR firmware after three
"unsuccessful" boots.

The family of GL-AR300M devices on the ath79 platform now includes:

  * glinet,gl-ar300m-lite       "generic" target, NOR-only board
  * glinet,gl-ar300m-nand       "nand" target
  * glinet,gl-ar300m-nor        "nand" target (NAND-aware)

NB: This commit increases the kernel size from 2 MB to 4 MB

"Force-less" sysupgrade is presently supported from the current
versions of following NOR-based firmwre images to the version of
glinet,gl-ar300m-nor firmware produced by this commit:

  * gl-ar300m            -- OEM v3 NOR    ar71xx (openwrt-ar300m16-*.bin)
  * gl-ar300m            -- OpenWrt 18.06 ar71xx
  * gl-ar300m            -- OpenWrt 19.07 ar71xx

Other upgrades to these images should be performed through U-Boot.

The GL-AR300M OEM U-Boot allows upload and flashing of either NOR
firmware (sysupgrade.bin) or NAND firmware (factory.img) through its
HTTP-based GUI. Serial connectivity is not required.

The glinet,gl-ar300m-nand and glinet,gl-ar300m-nor images generated
after this commit should safely flash each other using sysupgrade.

The boot counter is implemented by the OEM using u-boot-env. At this
time, it does not appear that the switch on the side of the unit can
be used to select NOR vs. NAND boot and the fail-over is only from
NAND to NOR. To save flash wear, it is only reset when running the
glinet,gl-ar300m-nand firmware.

NAND-specific base-files are used to remove impact on existing
generic and tiny targets.

As there is now no "generic" build appropriate for the GL-AR300M16,
(or for users of the GL-AR300M that do not need access to NAND)
it will be introduced in a subsequent commit.

Note: `mtd_get_mac_binary art 0x6` does not return the proper MAC
and the GL.iNet source indicates that only the 0x0 offset is valid

The ar71xx targets are unmodified.

f5c7fe2ff0 ath79: Clean up GL-AR300M DTS/DTSI inclusions
Modify GL-AR300M-Lite and GL-AR300M (NOR):

* Include qca9531_glinet_gl-ar300m.dtsi directly
  rather than qca9531_glinet_gl-ar300m-nor.dts

* Remove redundant inclusion of gpio.h and input.h

929becbc2d ath79: fix whitespace issues in DTS files
This is the result of grepping/searching for several common
whitespace issues like double empty lines, leading spaces, etc.

This patch fixes them for the ath79 target.

eba0db95b5 ath79: Restore GL.iNet GL-AR300M-Lite first-boot connectivity
The relationship between GMAC0 and GMAC1 and the kernel devices
eth0 and eth1 was reversed for many ath79 devices by commit 8dde11d521
ath79: dts: drop "simple-mfd" for gmacs in SoC dtsi

The GL-AR300M-Lite is a single-port device, with the "LAN" port of the
GL-AR300M board unpopulated and its sole port now referenced as eth1,
as a result of commit 8dde11d521. The device was unreachable on
first boot or fresh config.

By changing &eth1 (GMAC1) to an MFD, GMAC0 is able to associate with
the phy and is known by the kernel as "eth0".

Thanks to Chuanhong Guo for the suggestion of "simple-mfd"

fefa34def8 ath79: Add GL.iNet AR-300M-Lite
AR300M-Lite is single-Ethernet variant of the AR300M series
Its eth0 would otherwise be assigned to the WAN interface
making it unreachable firstboot or failsafe.

Installation instructions from OEM (OpenWrt variant):
* Install sysupgrade.bin using OEM's "Advanced" GUI (LuCI),
   * Do not preserve settings
   * Access rebooted device via Ethernet at OpenWrt default address

Add previously missing LED defaults for all three variants;
-nand, -nor, -lite to the definitions in 01_leds

Non-lite variants thanks to Andreas Ziegler
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1049396/

Runtime-tested:  GL.iNet AR300M-Lite
