is composed at runtime.

ath79: convert ath10k pre-calibration data to NVMEM (ASCII MAC)
This patch converts ath10k pre-calibration data to NVMEM format for
wave 2 devices with mtd ASCII MAC address. The "pre-calibration"
NVMEM cell size is 0x2f20. All unportable MAC address settings have
been moved to '10_fix_wifi_mac' scripts.

20581ee8b5 ath79: add support for TP-Link Deco S4
Add support for TP-Link Deco S4 wifi router

The label refers to the device as S4R and the TP-Link firmware
site calls it the Deco S4 v2. (There does not appear to be a v1)

Hardware (and FCC id) are identical to the Deco M4R v2 but the
flash layout is ordered differently and the OEM firmware encrypts
some config parameters (including the label mac address) in flash

In order to set the encrypted mac address, the wlan's caldata
node is removed from the DTS so the mac can be decrypted with
the help of the uencrypt tool and patched into the wlan fw
via hotplug

Specifications:
SoC: QCA9563-AL3A
RAM: Zentel A3R1GE40JBF
Wireless 2.4GHz: QCA9563-AL3A (main SoC)
Wireless 5GHz: QCA9886
Ethernet Switch: QCA8337N-AL3C
Flash: 16 MB SPI NOR

UART serial access (115200N1) on board via solder pads:
RX = TP1 pad
TX = TP2 pad
GND = C201 (pad nearest board edge)

The device's bootloader and web gui will only accept images that
were signed using TP-Link's RSA key, however a memory safety bug
in the bootloader can be leveraged to install openwrt without
accessing the serial console. See developer forum S4 support page
for link to a "firmware" file that starts a tftp client, or you
may generate one on your own like this:
```

```

Installation:
1. Run tftp server on pc with static ip 192.168.0.2
2. Place openwrt "initramfs-kernel.bin" image in tftp root dir
3. Connect pc to router ethernet port1
4. While holding in reset button on bottom of router, power on router
5. From pc access router webgui at http://192.168.0.1
6. Upload deco_s4_faux_fw_tftp.bin
7. Router will load and execture in-memory openwrt
8. Switch pc back to dhcp or static 192.168.1.x
9. Flash openwrt sysupgrade image via luci/ssh at 192.168.1.1

Revert to stock:
Press and hold reset button while powering device to start the
bootloader's recovery mode, where stock firmware can be uploaded
via web gui at 192.168.0.1

Please note that one additional non-github commits is also needed:
firmware-utils: add tplink-safeloader support for Deco S4
