MEMREAD is a new ioctl for MTD character devices that was first included
in Linux 6.1. It allows userspace applications to use the Linux
kernel's OOB autoplacement mechanism while reading data from NAND
devices. The Yafut tool needs this ioctl to do its job.

OpenWRT's developer guide prefers having actual patches so they an be
sent upstream more easily.
However, in this case, Adding proper fields also allows for `git am` to
properly function. Some of these patches are quite old, and lack much
traceable history.
This commit tries to rectify that, by digging in the history to find
where and how it was first added.
It is by no means perfect and also shows some patches that should have
been long gone.

The introduction of the new Airoha target has left the tree in an
unfresh state. Refresh patches to improve that situation.

Airoha is a new ARM platform based on Cortex-A53 which has recently been
merged into linux-next.
Due to BootROM limitations on this platform, the Cortex-A53 can't run in
Aarch64 mode and code must be compiled for 32-Bit ARM.
This support is based mostly on those linux-next commits backported
for kernel 5.15.
Patches:
1 - platform support = linux-next
2 - clock driver = linux-next
3 - gpio driver = linux-next
4 - linux,usable-memory-range dts support = linux-next
5 - mtd spinand driver
6 - spi driver
7 - pci driver (kconfig only, uses mediatek PCI) = linux-next
Still missing:
- Ethernet driver
- Sysupgrade support
A.t.m there exists one subtarget EN7523 with only one evaluation
board.
The initramfs can be run with the following commands from u-boot:
-
u-boot> setenv bootfile \
openwrt-airoha-airoha_en7523-evb-initramfs-kernel.bin
u-boot> tftpboot
u-boot> bootm 0x81800000
