During upload of firmware images the WebUI and CLI patch process
extracts a version information from the uploaded file and stores it
onto the jffs2 partition. To be precise it is written into the
flash.txt or flash2.txt files depending on the selected target image.
This data is not used anywhere else. The current OpenWrt factory
image misses this label. Therefore version information shows only
garbage. Fix this.

Beeline SmartBox GIGA is a wireless WiFi 5 router manufactured by
Sercomm company.
Device specification
--------------------
SoC Type: MediaTek MT7621AT
RAM: 256 MiB, Nanya NT5CC128M16JR-EK
Flash: 128 MiB, Macronix MX30LF1G18AC
Wireless 2.4 GHz (MT7603EN): b/g/n, 2x2
Wireless 5 GHz (MT7613BE): a/n/ac, 2x2
Ethernet: 3 ports - 2xGbE (WAN, LAN1), 1xFE (LAN2)
USB ports: 1xUSB3.0
Button: 1 button (Reset/WPS)
PCB ID: DBE00B-1.6MM
LEDs: 1 RGB LED
Power: 12 VDC, 1.5 A
Connector type: barrel
Bootloader: U-Boot
Installation
-----------------
1. Downgrade stock (Beeline) firmware to v.1.0.02;
2. Give factory OpenWrt image a shorter name, e.g. 1001.img;
3. Upload and update the firmware via the original web interface.
Remark: You might need make the 3rd step twice if your running firmware
is booted from the Slot 1 (Sercomm0 bootflag). The stock firmware
reverses the bootflag (Sercomm0 / Sercomm1) on each firmware update.
Revert to stock
---------------
1. Change the bootflag to Sercomm1 in OpenWrt CLI and then reboot:
printf 1 | dd bs=1 seek=7 count=1 of=/dev/mtdblock3
2. Optional: Update with any stock (Beeline) firmware if you want to
overwrite OpenWrt in Slot 0 completely.

sercomm-pid.py - new, the part of this pull request
sercomm-kernel-header.py - new, the part of this pull request
2. This device (same as other Sercomm S2,S3-based devices) requires
special LZMA and LOADADDR settings for successful boot:
LZMA_TEXT_START=0x82800000
KERNEL_LOADADDR=0x81001000
LOADADDR=0x80001000
3. This device (same as several other Sercomm-based devices - Beeline,
Netgear, Etisalat, Rostelecom) has partition map (mtd1) containing
real partition offsets, which may differ from device to device
depending on the number and location of bad blocks on NAND.
"fixed-partitions" is used if the partition map is not found or
corrupted. This behavour (it's the same as on stock firmware) is
provided by MTD_SERCOMM_PARTS module.

At least two AX820 hardware variants are known to exist, but they cannot
be distinguished (same hardware revision, no specific markings).
They appear to have the same LED hardware, but wired differently:
- One has a red system LED at GPIO 15, a green wlan2g LED at GPIO 14 and
a blue wlan5g LED at GPIO 16;
- The other only offers a green system LED at GPIO 15, with GPIO 14 and
16 being apparently not connected
Finally, a Yuncore datasheet says the canonical wiring should be:
- Blue wlan2g GPIO 14, green system GPIO 15, red wlan5g GPIO 16
All GPIOs are tied to a single RGB LED which is exposed via lightpipe on
the device front casing.
Considering the above, this patch exposes all three LEDs, preserves the
common system LED (GPIO 15) as the openwrt status LED, and removes the
color information from the LEDs names since it is not consistent across
hardware. The LED naming is made consistent with other YunCore devices.
A note is added in DTS to ensure this information is always available
and prevent unwanted changes in the future.

Enable PowerPC Book-E Watchdog Timer support. Having this enabled
in-kernel will result in procd starting it during boot.
This effectively solves the problem of the WDT in the Winbond W83793 chip
potentially resetting the system during sysupgrade, which could result
in an unbootable device. While the driver is modular, resulting in procd
not starting the WDT during boot (because that happens before kmod
load), the WDT handover during sysupgrade results in the WDT being
started. This normally shouldn't be a problem, but the W83793 WDT does
not like procd's defaults, nor the handover happening during sysupgrade.

the pairing buttons have to have pressed for at least half a second,
it doesn't matter on which plc device (master or slave) first
it is possible to pair the devices without the button-pairing requirement
simply by pressing reset on the slave device. This will default to the
firmware settings, which is also how the plc_basic script is setting up
the master device, i.e. configuring it to firmware defaults
the PL-E56P slave PLC has its dedicated 4MByte SPI, thus it is capable
to store all firmware currently available. Note that some other
slave devices are not guarantied to have the capacity for the newer
~1MByte firmware blobs!

DGS-1210 switches support dual image, with each image composed of a
kernel and a rootfs partition. For image1, kernel and rootfs are in
sequence. The current OpenWrt image (written using a serial console),
uses those partitions together as the firmware partition, ignoring the
partition division. The current OEM u-boot fails to validate image1 but
it will only trigger firmware recovery if both image1 and image2 fail,
and it does not switch the boot image in case one of them fails the
check.
The OEM factory image is composed of concatenated blocks of data, each
one prefixed with a 0x40-byte cameo header. A normal OEM firmware will
have two of these blocks (kernel, rootfs). The OEM firmware only checks
the header before writing unconditionally the data (except the header)
to the correspoding partition.
The OpenWrt factory image mimics the OEM image by cutting the
kernel+rootfs firmware at the exact size of the OEM kernel partition
and packing it as "the kernel partition" and the rest of the kernel and
the rootfs as "the rootfs partition". It will only work if written to
image1 because image2 has a sysinfo partition between kernel2 and
rootfs2, cutting the kernel code in the middle.
Steps to install:
1) switch to image2 (containing an OEM image), using web or these CLI
commands:
- config firmware image_id 2 boot_up
- reboot
2) flash the factory_image1.bin to image1. OEM web (v6.30.016)
is crashing for any upload (ssh keys, firmware), even applying OEM
firmwares. These CLI commands can upload a new firmware to the other
image location (not used to boot):
- download firmware_fromTFTP <tftpserver> factory_image1.bin
- config firmware image_id 1 boot_up
- reboot
To debrick the device, you'll need serial access. If you want to
recover to an OpenWrt, you can replay the serial installation
instructions. For returning to the original firmware, press ESC during
the boot to trigger the emergency firmware recovery procedure. After
that, use D-Link Network Assistant v2.0.2.4 to flash a new firmware.
The device documentation does describe that holding RESET for 12s
trigger the firmware recovery. However, the latest shipped U-Boot
"2011.12.(2.1.5.67086)-Candidate1" from "Aug 24 2021 - 17:33:09" cannot
trigger that from a cold boot. In fact, any U-Boot procedure that relies
on the RESET button, like reset settings, will only work if started from
a running original firmware. That, in practice, cancels the benefit of
having two images and a firmware recovery procedure (if you are not
consider dual-booting OpenWrt).

This model is almost identical to the EAP225 v3.
Major difference is the RTL8211FS PHY Chipset.
Device specifications:
* SoC: QCA9563 @ 775MHz
* RAM: 128MiB DDR2
* Flash: 16MiB SPI-NOR
* Wireless 2.4GHz (SoC): b/g/n, 3x3
* Wireless 5Ghz (QCA9886): a/n/ac, 2x2 MU-MIMO
* Ethernet (RTL8211FS): 1× 1GbE, 802.3at PoE
Flashing instructions:
* ssh into target device and run `cliclientd stopcs`
* Upgrade with factory image via web interface
Debricking:
* Serial port can be soldered on PCB J4 (1: TXD, 2: RXD, 3: GND, 4: VCC)
* Bridge unpopulated resistors R225 (TXD) and R237 (RXD).
Do NOT bridge R230.
* Use 3.3V, 115200 baud, 8n1
* Interrupt bootloader by holding CTRL+B during boot
* tftp initramfs to flash via LuCI web interface
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1 # default, change as required
setenv serverip 192.168.1.10 # default, change as required
tftp 0x80800000 initramfs.bin
bootelf $fileaddr
MAC addresses:
MAC address (as on device label) is stored in device info partition at
an offset of 8 bytes. ath9k device has same address as ethernet, ath10k
uses address incremented by 1.

In Linux v5.14 an extra feature was introduced for the RTL8211F phy,
allowing to disable a clock output from the phy. Part of that patch is to
always (soft) reset the phy upon initialisation.
This phy reset is required to have a working ethernet on the TP-Link
EAP225-Outdoor v3 and EAP225 v4 after a reboot. Otherwise the ethernet
port will only function properly on cold boots.

lantiq,bus-clock, interrupt-map-mask and interrupt-map are already
defined with these exact values in vr9.dtsi. Drop them from
vr9_tplink_tdw8980.dts to just have one place where these are
maintained.
