e7661a808e ixp4xx: Add back support for D-Link DSM G600 A
OpenWrt supported the D-Link DSM G600 A in the past. It has
64 MB of RAM and 16 MB of flash so it will run just fine,
and should be quite usable with a rootfs on an external
harddrive.

869bbdb8f6 ixp4xx: Add back support for Freecom FSG-3
OpenWrt supported the Freecom FSG-3 in the past. It has
64 MB of RAM so will run fine, but the bare 4 MB of flash
makes it a non-default target. The generated compressed
image is currently below 4MB (just 3.3 MB) though, so it
should be possible to flash just fine with a rootfs on
a harddrive or USB stick, which is what the FSG-3 used
in the past as well.

The device has a WAN port on eth0 and three LAN ports on
eth1. The LAN ports are probably a DSA switch but the
old OpenWrt base never activated that, instead it relies
on boot defaults.

Due to questionable usablity without tweaking and further
work this image is not built by default, but made available
for developers who know what they are doing.

The TAR+CRC image generation is a rewritten version of the
earlier support code.

4220f75d1e ixp4xx: Add back support for Iomega NAS100D
OpenWrt supported the Iomega NAS100D in the past and it has
64 MB of RAM so if booted from a harddrive it will probably
work just fine. The APEX boot loader already has a build
variant for this machine that we can just pick up and use.

This device has a single ethernet port so bring this online
with DHCP as expected for a NAS device.

ixp4xx: Resurrect IXP4xx support using device tree
This resurrects the support for IXP4xx using device tree
rather than the old (deleted) board files. The final pieces
of IXP4xx board files were deleted in Linux v5.19.

Ext4 root filesystems on CF and USB are supported by the
default config.

We support these three initial targets:

- The Gateworks Avila GW2348 reference design has 64MB of RAM
  and 32MB of flash and also supports USB and CompactFlash.

- The Gateworks Cambria GW2358 reference design has 128MB of
  RAM and 32MB of flash and also supports USB and CompactFlash.

- The old and stable Linksys NSLU2 works fine as well, albeit
  it only has 32MB of RAM so it has been marked as non-default.
  The 8MB of flash can only fit the kernel, so it has been
  patched to boot from exteral media on USB. I have used
  it successfully as a NAS with ksmbd and LUCI web API, see:
