Fix in commit 25eead21c5 ("ath79: fix 5GHz on QCA9886 variant of ZTE MF286")
was incomplete. A user of such variant popped up, and in the boot log
after installation, we discovered that QCA9886 expects different
pre-calibration data size, than the older QCA9880 variant:
ath10k_pci 0000:00:00.0: qca9888 hw2.0 target 0x01000000 chip_id 0x00000000 sub 0000:0000

Explicitly define a pre-calibration nvmem-cell for this variant, and use
it instead of the calibration one, which is shorter.

Initial flashing instructions:
Original firmware is based on OpenWrt.
a) Use sysupgrade image directly in vendor GUI.
b) Or via tftp:
ipaddr=192.168.1.1
serverip=192.168.1.10
bootfile="firmware.bin"
c) Or possibly via u-boot's `httpd` command.
MAC-address mapping follows original firmware:
* eth1 (wan) is the lowest mac address (art @ 0x0)
* eth0 (lan) uses eth1 + 1 (art @ 0x1002)
* wlan2g (phy1) uses eth1 + 2 (art @ 0x06)
* wlan5g (phy0) uses eth1 + 10 (not present in art)
* unused MAC (eth1 + 3) (art @ 0x5006)
Art dump (`hexdump /dev/mtd1 |grep ZZZZ`):
0000000 ZZZZ XXXX XXX0 ZZZZ XXXX XXX2 ffff ffff
0001000 0202 ZZZZ XXXX XXX1 0000 0000 0000 0000
0005000 202f bd21 0101 ZZZZ XXXX XXX3 0000 2000
Root access to original firmware (only via UART) can be achieved by
making a backup of configuration from web interface. Backup contains
whole `/etc` directory...

Device support for Sophos AP15 is based on Sophos AP55(C) and AP100(C).
Those other Sophos access points uss a QCA9558 SoC (some of them with
one of the three chains on the built-in SoC's wifi disabled) while the
AP15 uses a QCA9557 SoC (which only has two chains enabled in the
package or silicon).
This is mostly cosmetic since QCA9558 and QCA9557 are virtually
identical and all differences are automatically detected and/or managed
by the ART calibration.

Notes:
- All LEDs are connected to the GPIO controller on the ath9k chip

ath9k chip, so they cannot be handled as status LEDs of OpenWrt while
booting.
- A reset pin of the internal USB hub is connected to the GPIO
controller of the ath9k chip, like LEDs above. That hub will be
detected after probing of the ath9k chip.
- The stock bootloader requires an unknown filesystem on firmware area
in the flash. Booting of OpenWrt from that filesystem cannot be
handled, so the bootloader needs to be replaced to mainline U-Boot
before OpenWrt installation.

Notes:
- All LEDs are connected to the GPIO controller on the ath9k chip
(AR9380) and controlled by it. Those LEDs are probed after probing of
ath9k chip, so they cannot be handled as status LEDs of OpenWrt while
booting.
- A reset pin of the internal USB hub is connected to the GPIO
controller of the ath9k chip, like LEDs above. That hub will be
detected after probing of the ath9k chip.
- The stock bootloader requires an unknown filesystem on firmware area
in the flash. Booting of OpenWrt from that filesystem cannot be
handled, so the bootloader needs to be replaced to mainline U-Boot
before OpenWrt installation.

Huawei AP6010DN is a dual-band, dual-radio 802.11a/b/g/n 2x2 MIMO
enterprise access point with one Gigabit Ethernet port and PoE
support.
Hardware highlights:
- CPU: AR9344 SoC at 480MHz
- RAM: 128MB DDR2
- Flash: 32MB SPI-NOR
- Wi-Fi 2.4GHz: AR9344-internal radio
- Wi-Fi 5GHz: AR9580 PCIe WLAN SoC
- Ethernet: 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet through Atheros AR8035 PHY
- PoE: yes
- Standalone 12V/2A power input
- Serial console externally available through RJ45 port
- External watchdog: CAT706SVI (1.6s timeout)
Serial console:
9600n8 (9600 baud, no stop bits, no parity, 8 data bits)
MAC addresses:
Each device has 32 consecutive MAC addresses allocated by
the vendor, which don't overlap between devices.
This was confirmed with multiple devices with consecutive
serial numbers.
The MAC address range starts with the address on the label.
To be able to distinguish between the interfaces,
the following MAC address scheme is used:
- eth0 = label MAC
- radio0 (Wi-Fi 2.4GHz) = label MAC + 1
- radio1 (Wi-Fi 5GHz) = label MAC + 2
Installation:
0. Connect some sort of RJ45-to-USB adapter to "Console" port of the AP
1. Power up the AP
2. At prompt "Press f or F to stop Auto-Boot in 3 seconds",
do what they say.
Log in with default admin password "admin@huawei.com".
3. Boot the OpenWrt initramfs from TFTP using the hidden script "run ramboot".
Replace IP address as needed:
> setenv serverip 192.168.1.10
> setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
> setenv rambootfile openwrt-ath79-generic-huawei_ap6010dn-initramfs-kernel.bin
> saveenv
> run ramboot
4. Optional but recommended as the factory firmware cannot be downloaded publicly:
Back up contents of "firmware" partition using the web interface or ssh:
$ ssh root@192.168.1.1 cat /dev/mtd11 > huawei_ap6010dn_fw_backup.bin
5. Run sysupgrade using sysupgrade image. OpenWrt
shall boot from flash afterwards.
Return to factory firmware (using firmware upgrade package downloaded from non-public Huawei website):
1. Start a TFTP server in the directory where
the firmware upgrade package is located
2. Boot to u-boot as described above
3. Install firmware upgrade package and format the config partitions:
> update system FatAP6X10XN_SOMEVERSION.bin
> format_fs
Return to factory firmware (from previously created backup):
1. Copy over the firmware partition backup to /tmp,
for example using scp
2. Use sysupgrade with force to restore the backup:
sysupgrade -F huawei_ap6010dn_fw_backup.bin
3. Boot AP to U-Boot as described above
Quirks and known issues:
- The stock firmware has a semi dual boot concept where the primary
kernel uses a squashfs as root partition and the secondary kernel uses
an initramfs. This dual boot concept is circumvented on purpose to gain
more flash space and since the stock firmware's flash layout isn't
compatible with mtdsplit.
- The external watchdog's timeout of 1.6s is very hard to satisfy
during bootup. This is why the GPIO15 pin connected to the watchdog input
is configured directly in the LZMA loader to output the AHB_CLK/2 signal
which keeps the watchdog happy until the wdt-gpio kernel driver takes
over. Because it would also take too long to read the whole kernel image
from flash, the uImage header only includes the loader which then reads
the kernel image from flash after GPIO15 is configured.

RAM: 256 MB DDR2
Flash: 32 MB SPI NOR
WIFI: 2.4 GHz 3T3R integrated
5 GHz 3T3R QCA9890 oversized Mini PCIe card
Ethernet: 2x 10/100/1000 Mbps QCA8334
port labeled lan1 is PoE capable (802.3at)
USB: 1x 2.0
LEDs: LEDs: 6x which 5 are GPIO controlled and two of them are dual color
Buttons: 2x GPIO controlled
Serial: RJ-45 port, SonicWall pinout
baud: 115200, parity: none, flow control: none
Before flashing, be sure to have a copy of factory firmware, in case You
wish to revert to original firmware.
All described procedures were done in following environment:
ROM Version: SonicROM (U-Boot) 8.0.0.0-11o
SafeMode Firmware Version: SonicOS 8.0.0.0-14o
Firmware Version: SonicOS 9.0.1.0
In case of other versions, following installation instructions might be
ineffective.
Installation
1. Prepare TFTP server with OpenWrt sysupgrade image and rename that
image to "sp_fw.bin".
2. Connect to one of LAN ports.
3. Connect to serial port.
4. Hold the reset button (small through hole on side of the unit),
power on the device and when prompted to stop autoboot, hit any key.
The held button can now be released.
5. Alter U-Boot environment with following commands:
setenv bootcmd bootm 0x9F110000
saveenv
6. Adjust "ipaddr" (access point, default is 192.168.1.1) and "serverip"
(TFTP server, default is 192.168.1.10) addresses in U-Boot
environment, then run following commands:
tftp 0x80060000 sp_fw.bin
erase 0x9F110000 +0x1EF0000
cp.b 0x80060000 0x9F110000 $filesize
7. After successful flashing, execute:
boot
8. The access point will boot to OpenWrt. Wait few minutes, until the
wrench LED will stop blinking, then it's ready for configuration.
Known issues
Initramfs image can't be bigger than specified kernel size, otherwise
bootloader will throw LZMA decompressing error. Switching to lzma-loader
should workaround that.
This device has Winbond 25Q256FVFG and doesn't have reliable reset, which
causes hang on reboot, thus broken-flash-reset needs to be added. This
property addition causes dispaly of "scary" warning on each boot, take
this warnig into consideration.

FCC ID: A8J-EWS660AP
Engenius ENS1750 is an outdoor wireless access point with
2 gigabit ethernet ports, dual-band wireless,
internal antenna plates, and 802.3at PoE+
Engenius EWS660AP, ENS1750, and ENS1200 are "electrically identical,
different model names are for marketing purpose" according to docs
provided by Engenius to the FCC.
**Specification:**
- QCA9558 SOC 2.4 GHz, 3x3
- QCA9880 WLAN mini PCIe card, 5 GHz, 3x3, 26dBm
- AR8035-A PHY RGMII GbE with PoE+ IN
- AR8033 PHY SGMII GbE with PoE+ OUT
- 40 MHz clock
- 16 MB FLASH MX25L12845EMI-10G
- 2x 64 MB RAM
- UART at J1 populated, RX grounded
- 6 internal antenna plates (5 dbi, omni-directional)
- 5 LEDs, 1 button (power, eth0, eth1, 2G, 5G) (reset)
**MAC addresses:**
Base MAC addressed labeled as "MAC"
Only one Vendor MAC address in flash
eth0 *:d4 MAC art 0x0
eth1 *:d5 --- art 0x0 +1
phy1 *:d6 --- art 0x0 +2
phy0 *:d7 --- art 0x0 +3
**Serial Access:**
the RX line on the board for UART is shorted to ground by resistor R176
therefore it must be removed to use the console
but it is not necessary to remove to view boot log
optionally, R175 can be replaced with a solder bridge short
the resistors R175 and R176 are next to the UART RX pin
**Installation:**
2 ways to flash factory.bin from OEM:
Method 1: Firmware upgrade page:
OEM webpage at 192.168.1.1
username and password "admin"
Navigate to "Firmware Upgrade" page from left pane
Click Browse and select the factory.bin image
Upload and verify checksum
Click Continue to confirm and wait 3 minutes
Method 2: Serial to load Failsafe webpage:
After connecting to serial console and rebooting...
Interrupt uboot with any key pressed rapidly
execute `run failsafe_boot` OR `bootm 0x9fd70000`
wait a minute
connect to ethernet and navigate to
"192.168.1.1/index.htm"
Select the factory.bin image and upload
wait about 3 minutes
**Return to OEM:**
If you have a serial cable, see Serial Failsafe instructions
otherwise, uboot-env can be used to make uboot load the failsafe image
ssh into openwrt and run
`fw_setenv rootfs_checksum 0`
reboot, wait 3 minutes
connect to ethernet and navigate to 192.168.1.1/index.htm
select OEM firmware image from Engenius and click upgrade
**TFTP recovery:**
Requires serial console, reset button does nothing
rename initramfs.bin to '0101A8C0.img'
make available on TFTP server at 192.168.1.101
power board, interrupt boot
execute tftpboot and bootm 0x81000000
**Format of OEM firmware image:**
The OEM software of ENS1750 is a heavily modified version
of Openwrt Kamikaze. One of the many modifications
is to the sysupgrade program. Image verification is performed
simply by the successful ungzip and untar of the supplied file
and name check and header verification of the resulting contents.
To form a factory.bin that is accepted by OEM Openwrt build,
the kernel and rootfs must have specific names...
openwrt-ar71xx-generic-ens1750-uImage-lzma.bin
openwrt-ar71xx-generic-ens1750-root.squashfs
and begin with the respective headers (uImage, squashfs).
Then the files must be tarballed and gzipped.
The resulting binary is actually a tar.gz file in disguise.
This can be verified by using binwalk on the OEM firmware images,
ungzipping then untaring.
Newer EnGenius software requires more checks but their script
includes a way to skip them, otherwise the tar must include
a text file with the version and md5sums in a deprecated format.
The OEM upgrade script is at /etc/fwupgrade.sh.
OKLI kernel loader is required because the OEM software
expects the kernel to be no greater than 1536k
and the factory.bin upgrade procedure would otherwise
overwrite part of the kernel when writing rootfs.
Note on PLL-data cells:
The default PLL register values will not work
because of the external AR8035 switch between
the SOC and the ethernet port.
For QCA955x series, the PLL registers for eth0 and eth1
can be see in the DTSI as 0x28 and 0x48 respectively.
Therefore the PLL registers can be read from uboot
for each link speed after attempting tftpboot
or another network action using that link speed
with `md 0x18050028 1` and `md 0x18050048 1`.
The clock delay required for RGMII can be applied
at the PHY side, using the at803x driver `phy-mode`.
Therefore the PLL registers for GMAC0
do not need the bits for delay on the MAC side.
This is possible due to fixes in at803x driver
since Linux 5.1 and 5.3

Flashing instructions:
The original firmware is based on OpenWrt, so flashing the sysupgrade image over the factory firmware is sufficient.
The bootloader has a built-in recovery web-ui. This is the method I used to flash OpenWrt. You can get to the recovery web-ui by holding down the reset button for a few seconds (~5s) while pluggin in the router. The LEDs should start blinking fast and the router should be available on 192.168.1.1 for the recovery.
Tested: Reset button, WAN LED, LAN LED, Power LED (always on, not much to test), WLAN LED, MAC addresses (same as factory firmware).

ethernet PHYs (it sets the "Power Down" bit in the MII control
register). Unfortunately, at the time of the initial port, the kernel
driver for the B50612E/BCM54612E PHY behind eth0 doesn't have a resume
callback defined which would clear this bit. This makes the PHY unusable
since it remains suspended forever. This is why the backported kernel
patches in this commit are required which add this callback and for
completeness also a suspend callback.
- The stock firmware has a semi dual boot concept where the primary
kernel uses a squashfs as root partition and the secondary kernel uses
an initramfs. This dual boot concept is circumvented on purpose to gain
more flash space and since the stock firmware's flash layout isn't
compatible with mtdsplit.
- The external watchdog's timeout of 1.6s is very hard to satisfy
during bootup. This is why the GPIO15 pin connected to the watchdog input
is configured directly in the LZMA loader to output the CPU_CLK/4 signal
which keeps the watchdog happy until the wdt-gpio kernel driver takes
over. Because it would also take too long to read the whole kernel image
from flash, the uImage header only includes the loader which then reads
the kernel image from flash after GPIO15 is configured.

Add aliases with "serialN = &uartN;" of uart0/1 on QCA955x SoCs to
qca955x.dtsi, to enable uart1 on Linux Kernel.
without this:
[ 0.342915] ar933x-uart 18500000.uart: unable to get alias id, err=-19
Additionally, remove "serial0 = &uart;" alias from QCA955x device
dts/dtsi files.

Flash instruction using factory.bin image:
1. Boot WAB-I1750-PS without no upstream connection (or PoE connection
without DHCP)
2. Access to the WebUI ("http://192.168.3.1") on the device and open
firmware update page
("ツールボックス" -> "ファームウェア更新")
3. Select the OpenWrt factory.bin image and click update
("アップデート") button
4. Wait ~120 seconds to complete flashing
Revert to OEM firmware:
1. Download the latest OEM firmware
2. Remove 128 bytes(0x80) header from firmware image
3. Decode by xor with a pattern "8844a2d168b45a2d" (hex val)
4. Upload the decoded firmware to the device
5. Flash to "firmware" partition by mtd command
6. Reboot
Notes:
- To use the "SERVICE" port, the connection of 3.3V line is also
required to enable console output.
The uart line of "SERVICE" is branched out from the internal pin
header with 74HC126D and 3.3V line is connected to OE pin on it.
- "SERIAL" port is provided by HS UART on QCA9558 SoC that has
compatibility with qca,ar9330-uart, but QCA955x SoC's is not supported
on Linux Kernel and OpenWrt.
- To supply 802.3af PoE on "PSE" port when powered by DC adapter, 12 VDC
3.5 A adapter is recommended. (official: WAB-EX-ADP1)
