The biggest (and the only?) disadventage of this is obviously an
increased image size.
For mips74k the size of vmlinux goes up from 4186684 B to 4701436 B.
Most devices use LZMA compressed kernel so probably more important is
vmlinux.lzma size which goes up from 1342945 B to the 1508498 B.
Still this isn't something that should stop target kernel bump. There
are various adventages of kernel 4.14. If kernel / image size is a
serious concern for anyone, it's perfectly possible to use previous
release which is pretty solid for the brcm47xx.

The RavPower WD03 is a battery powered SD card reader and a USB port.
Specifications:
SOC: MediaTek MT7620N
BATTERY: 6000mah
WLAN: 802.11bgn
LAN: 1x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
USB: 1x USB 2.0 (Type-A)
RAM: PM Tech PMD708416CTR-5CN 32 MB
FLASH: Holtek HT66F40 - 8 MB Flash
LED: Power button and 4 leds to indicate power level of the
battery (could not get control of that)
INPUT: Power, reset button
OTHER: USB SD-Card reader with card detect on GPIO#42
Tested and working:
- Ethernet
- 2.4 GHz WiFi (Correct MAC-address)
- installation from tftp
- OpenWRT sysupgrade (Preserving and non-preserving)
- LEDs
- Buttons
Installation:
- Download the sysupgrade image
- Place it in the root of a clean TFTP server running on your computer.
- Rename the image to "kernel" — be sure there is no file extension.
- Plug the WD03 into your computer via ethernet.
- Set your computer to use 10.10.10.254 as its IP address.
- With your WD03 shut down, hold down the power button until the first
white LED lights up.
- Push and hold the reset button and release the power button. Continue
holding the reset button for 30 seconds or until it begins searching
for files on your TFTP server, whichever comes first.
- The WD03 (10.10.10.128) will look for your computer at 10.10.10.254
and install the kernel file. Once it has finished installation of the
kernel file, it will search for a (nonexistent) rootfs file — when it
begins searching for this file, shut down the WD03 by holding the
power button normally.
- Start up your WD03 normally.

Backport patch accepted upstream which removes the reset asserts of the
xrx200 gphy driver on reboot/remove.
While doing a global software reset, these bits are not cleared and let
some bootloader fail to initialise the GPHYs. The bootloader don't expect
these bits to be set, as they aren't during power on.
The asserts were a workaround for a wrong syscon-reboot mask. With a mask
set which includes the GPHY resets of the first reset register, the
resets of the second reset register arn't required any more.

This commit adds support for the AVM Fritz!Box 4020 WiFi-router.
SoC: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9561 (Dragonfly) 750MHz
RAM: Winbond W971GG6KB-25
FLASH: Macronix MX25L12835F
WiFi: QCA9561 b/g/n 3x3 450Mbit/s
USB: 1x USB 2.0
IN: WPS button, WiFi button
OUT: Power LED green, Internet LED green, WLAN LED green,
LAN LED green, INFO LED green, INFO LED red
UART: Header Next to Black metal shield
Pinout is 3.3V - RX - TX - GND (Square Pad is 3.3V)
The Serial setting is 115200-8-N-1.
Tested and working:
- Ethernet (LAN + WAN)
- WiFi (correct MAC)
- Installation via EVA bootloader
- OpenWRT sysupgrade
- Buttons
- LEDs
Not working:
- USB port
Installation via EVA:
In the first seconds after Power is connected, the bootloader will
listen for FTP connections on 169.254.157.1 (Might also be 192.168.178.1). Firmware can be uploaded
like following:
ftp> quote USER adam2
ftp> quote PASS adam2
ftp> binary
ftp> debug
ftp> passive
ftp> quote MEDIA FLSH
ftp> put openwrt-sysupgrade.bin mtd1
Note that this procedure might take up to two minutes. After transfer is
complete you need to powercycle the device to boot OpenWRT.

Some maintainers prefer DTS files licensed under permissive license like
MIT / BSD. As all DT bindings should be OS independent and DTS files are
pretty separated from Linux code it probably makes sense to share them
across projects.
The safest solution is to use dual licensing: that way it stays clear
these files can be used in GPL projects without depending on current
belief of licenses compatibility.

This switches bcm53xx from spi-bcm53xx to the spi-bcm-qspi driver. The
later one was developed by Broadcom and is more advanced one. It
supports more modes, setting a speed, setting bits per word and uses
IRQs instead of polling.
This increases kernel size from 1808120 B to the 1811160 B (by 3040 B).

This adds an interrim patch for v4.14 based on an
upstream commit to get ethernet working on D-Link DNS-313
(probably also on the Wiliboards)
Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>
Since the D-Link devices boot from hard disk we need to
add the following changes to Gemini:
- Supply a bootarg in the device tree so we can boot from
the right partition (/dev/sda4 on DNS-313)
- Disable forced command line in config so the kernel picks
up the right bootargs from the device tree
- Enable EXT4 in the config as this is used for rootfs else
we get nowhere, we cannot load this as a module because,
well, it is supposed to be loaded from the root partition
(chicken and egg problem).
- Enable jbd2 and mbcache (needed by ext4)
Also clean out the premature attempts to dynamically
modify the command line in the Image makefile: we should
pass this with the device tree bootargs instead, it works
much better.

This adds the patches to get fairly complete Gemini support
using kernel v4.14. It is mainly a backport of patches from
kernel v4.16 with omissions of things like graphics that require
substantial changes and will be better handled once we move
to the v4.16 kernel proper.
On top of this are some WIP patches for USB support.
Tested on Raidsonic NAS4220B and D-link DNS-313.
ChangeLog v4->v5:
- Fix ethernet single gmac usecase
- Fix USB reset (patch from Hans)
- Fix Raidsonic ethernet skew delay
- Fix kernel config (bridge, squashfs, jffs2, usb)
- Disable second usb port on Raidsonic board until fotg210_hcd is fixed
ChangeLog v3->v4:
- Make sure to use tabs rather than spaces in base-files.
- Use the dns313 image tool from the firmware-utils.
- Break out the addition of the v4.14 patches and the removal
of the v4.4 patches to separate (big) patches.
ChangeLog v2->v3:
- Update the kernel config as indicated by Hauke Martens:
- Regenerate again after rebasing using kernel_oldconfig
dropping a few optimization settings that are now generic
- Drop CFG80211 stuff (module)
- Drop CIFS stuff (module)
- Drop MAC80211 (module)
- Drop wireless drivers (module)
- Enabled OverlayFS
- Added proper DNS-313 boot image generation with the special
file header tool.
- Disable CMA in the kernel
- Enable LZMA compression of the kernel
- Consequently name the nas4220b images nas4220b
- Update preinit MAC detection script to handle also DNS-313
- Add board.d/03_hdparm to set the disk to spin down after
1 minute by default, if we have the hdparm tool installed
ChangeLog v1->v2:
- Processed config through kernel_oldconfig
- Processed patches through make target/linux/{clean,refresh} V=99

This is mainly a bug fix for multi-core MIPS systems where L1 caches besides the primary do not get flushed.
The most obvious problem is data corruption on SATA and USB devices where read requests are typically larger than the cacheline size.
This may also fix ar71xx systems that suffer from similar data corruption but I have not tested if it does.

Some Ubiquiti U-boot versions, in particular the "U-Boot 1.1.4.2-s956
(Jun 10 2015 - 10:54:50)" found with AirOS 5.6, do not correctly flush the
caches for the whole kernel address range after decompressing the kernel
image, leading to hard to debug boot failures, depending on kernel version
and configuration.
As a workaround, prepend the relocate-kernels loader, which will invalidate
the caches after moving the kernel to the correct load address.
