9e4ede8344 ipq40xx: add support for Linksys WHW03 V2
SOC:             Qualcomm IPQ4019
WiFi 1:          QCA4019 IEEE 802.11b/g/n
WiFi 2:          QCA4019 IEEE 802.11a/n/ac
WiFi 3:          QCA8888 IEEE 802.11a/n/ac
Bluetooth:       Qualcomm CSR8811 (A12U)
Zigbee:          Silicon Labs EM3581 NCP + Skyworks SE2432L
Ethernet:        Qualcomm Atheros QCA8072 (2-port)
Flash 1:         Mactronix MX30LF4G18AC-XKI
RAM (NAND):      SK hynix H5TC4G63CFR-PBA (512MB)
LED Controller:  NXP PCA9633 (I2C)
Buttons:         Single reset button (GPIO).

- The three WiFis were fully tested and are configured with the same settings as in the vendor firmware.
- The specific board files were submitted to the ATH10k mailing list but I'm still waiting for a reply. They can be removed once they are approved upstream.
- Two ethernet ports are accessible on the device. By default one is configured as WAN and the other one is LAN. They are fully working.

Bluetooth:
========
- Fully working with the following caveats:
  - RFKILL need to be enabled in the kernel.
  - An older version of bluez is needed as bccmd is needed to configure the chip.

Zigbee:
======
- The spidev device is available in the /dev directory.
- GPIOs are configured the same way as in the vendor firmware.
- Tests are on-going. I am working on getting access to the Silicon Labs stack to validate that it is fully working.

Installation:
=========
The squash-factory image can be installed via the Linksys Web UI:
1. Open "http://192.168.1.1/ca" (Change the IP with the IP of your device).
2. Login with your admin password.
3. To enter into the support mode, click on the "CA" link and the bottom of the page.
4. Open the "Connectivity" menu and upload the squash-factory image with the "Choose file" button.
5. Click start. Ignore all the prompts and warnings by click "yes" in all the popups.

The device uses a dual partition mechanism. The device automatically revert to the previous partition after 3 failed boot attempts.
If you want to force the previous firmware to load, you can turn off and then turn on the device for 2 seconds, 3 times in a row.

It can also be done via TFTP:
1. Setup a local TFTP server and configure its IP to 192.168.1.100.
2. Rename your image to "nodes_v2.img" and put it to the TFTP root of your server.
3. Connect to the device through the serial console.
4. Power on device and press enter when prompted to drop into U-Boot.
5. Flash the partition of your choice by typing "run flashimg" or "run flashimg2".
6. Once flashed, enter "reset" to reboot the device.

2a9f3b7717 ipq40xx: fix up Linksys WHW01 board name, device definition
Update the board name defined in DTS to match online documentation and the
name encoded into factory firmware. This helps supports flashing firmware
factory images using 'sysupgrade'.

Original WHW01 device definition assumes the rootfs IMAGE_SIZE is 33 MB
instead of the correct 74 MB, and defines factory images which include
extra adjustments/padding that do not match OEM factory images and may
cause problems flashing. Update image size and build recipe to fix these.

b4184c666c ipq40xx: add support for Linksys WHW01 v1
This patch adds support for Linksys WHW01 v1 ("Velop") [FCC ID Q87-03331].

Specification
-------------

SOC:             Qualcomm IPQ4018
WiFi 1:          Qualcomm QCA4019 IEEE 802.11b/g/n
WiFi 2:          Qualcomm QCA4019 IEEE 802.11a/n/ac
Bluetooth:       Qualcomm CSR8811 (A12U)
Ethernet:        Qualcomm QCA8072 (2-port)
SPI Flash 1:     Mactronix MX25L1605D (2MB)
SPI Flash 2:     Winbond W25M02GV (256MB)
DRAM:            Nanya NT5CC128M16IP-DI (256MB)
LED Controller:  NXP PCA963x (I2C)
Buttons:         Single reset button (GPIO).

Notes
-----

There does not appear to be a way to trigger TFTP recovery without entering
U-Boot. The device must be opened to access the serial console in order to
first flash OpenWrt onto a device from factory.

The device has automatic recovery backed by a second set of partitions on
the larger of the two SPI flash ICs. Both the primary and secondary must
be flashed to prevent accidental rollback to "factory" after 3 failed boot
attempts.

Serial console
--------------

A serial console is available on the following pins of the populated J2
connector on the device mainboard (115200 8n1).

(<-- Top of PCB / Device)

  J2
  [o o o o o o]
       |   | |
       |   |  `-- GND
       |    `---- TX
       `--------- RX

Installation instructions
-------------------------

1. Setup TFTP server with server IP set to 192.168.1.236.
2. Copy compiled `...squashfs-factory.bin` to `nodes-jr.img` in tftp root.
3. Connect to console using pinout detailed in the serial console section.
4. Power on device and press enter when prompted to drop into U-Boot.
5. Flash first partition device via `run flashimg`.
6. Once complete, reset device and allow to power up completely.
7. Once comfortable with device upgrade reboot and drop back into U-Boot.
8. Flash the second partition (recovery) via `run flashimg2`.

Revert to "factory"
-------------------

1. Download latest firmware update from vendor support site.
2. Copy extracted `.img` file to `nodes-jr.img` in tftp root.
3. Connect to console using pinout detailed in the serial console section.
4. Power on device and press enter when prompted to drop into U-Boot.
5. Flash first partition device via `run flashimg`.
6. Once complete, reset device and allow to power up completely.
7. Once comfortable with device upgrade reboot and drop back into U-Boot.

business-class wireless AP with integrated omnidirectional antennae
and two 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports.

For more information see:
<https://www.netgear.com/business/wifi/access-points/wac510>

Specifications:
SoC:        Qualcomm IPQ4018 (DAKOTA) ARM Quad-Core
RAM:        256 MiB
Flash1:     2 MiB Winbond W25Q16JV SPI-NOR
Flash2:     128 MiB Winbond W25N01GVZEIG SPI-NAND
Ethernet:   Built-in IPQ4018 (SoC, QCA8072 PHY), 2x 1000/100/10 port,

4 - Ground
WARNING: The serial port needs a TTL/RS-232 3.3 volt level converter!
         The Serial settings are 115200-8-N-1.

Installation via Stock Web Interface:
BTW: The default factory console/web interface login user/password are
admin/password.

In the web interface navigating to Management - Maintenance - Upgrade -
'Firmware Upgrade' will show you what is currently installed e.g.:
Manage Firmware
Current Firmware Version: V5.0.10.2
Backup Firmware Version: V1.2.5.11
Under 'Upgrade Options' choose Local (alternatively SFTP would be
available) then click/select 'Browse File' on the right side, choose
openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-netgear_wac510-squashfs-nand-factory.tar
and hit the Upgrade button below. After a minute or two your browser
should indicate completion printing 'Firmware update complete.' and
'Rebooting AP...'.

Note that OpenWrt will use the WAN PoE port as actual WAN port
defaulting to DHCP client but NOT allowing LuCI access, use LAN port
defaulting to 192.168.1.1/24 to access LuCI.

Installation via TFTP Requiring Serial U-Boot Access:
Connect to the device's serial port and hit any key to stop autoboot.
Upload and boot the initramfs based OpenWrt image as follows:
(IPQ40xx) # setenv serverip 192.168.1.1
(IPQ40xx) # setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.2
(IPQ40xx) # tftpboot openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-netgear_wac510-initramfs-fit-uImage.itb
(IPQ40xx) # bootm

Note: This only runs OpenWrt from RAM and has not installed anything
to flash as of yet. One may permanently install OpenWrt as follows:

Check the MTD device number of the active partition:
root@OpenWrt:/# dmesg | grep 'set to be root filesystem'
[    1.010084] mtd: device 9 (rootfs) set to be root filesystem
Upload the factory image ending with .ubi to /tmp (e.g. using scp or
tftp). Then flash the image as follows (substituting the 9 in mtd9
below with whatever number reported above):
root@OpenWrt:/# ubiformat /dev/mtd9 -f /tmp/openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-netgear_wac510-squashfs-nand-factory.ubi
And reboot.

Dual Image Configuration:
The default U-Boot boot command bootipq uses the U-Boot environment
variables primary/secondary to decide which image to boot. E.g.
primary=0, secondary=3800000 uses rootfs while primary=3800000,
secondary=0 uses rootfs_1.
Switching their values changes the active partition. E.g. from within
U-Boot:
(IPQ40xx) # setenv primary 0
(IPQ40xx) # setenv secondary 3800000
(IPQ40xx) # saveenv
Or from a OpenWrt userspace serial/SSH console:
fw_setenv primary 0
fw_setenv secondary 3800000
Note that if you install two copies of OpenWrt then each will have its
independent configuration not like when switching partitions on the
stock firmware.
BTW: The kernel log shows which boot partition is active:
[    2.439050] ubi0: attached mtd9 (name "rootfs", size 56 MiB)
vs.
[    2.978785] ubi0: attached mtd10 (name "rootfs_1", size 56 MiB)
Note: After 3 failed boot attempts it automatically switches partition.

92e60260d5 treewide: sync bootcount scripts across targets
This commit made the following changes to sync all bootcount scripts:

1. use boot() instead of start()
    This script only needs to be executed once when boot is complete.
    use boot() to make this explicit.

2. drop sourcing of /lib/functions.sh
    This is aready done in /etc/rc.common.

3. ramips: replace board name checking with a case

  "Linksys Dallas WiFi AP router based on Qualcomm AP DK07.1-c1"

Implementation Notes:

  The OEM flash layout is preserved at this time with 3 MB kernel and
  ~69 MB UBIFS for each firmware version. The sysdiag (1 MB) and
  syscfg (56 MB) partitions are untouched, available as read-only.

Serial Connectivity:

  Serial connectivity is *not* required to flash.

  Serial may be accessed by opening the device and connecting
  a 3.3-V adapter using 115200, 8n1. U-Boot access is good,
  including the ability to load images over TFTP and
  either run or flash them.

  Looking at the top of the board, from the front of the unit,
  J3 can be found on the right edge of the board, near the rear

b3770eaca3 mtd: base-files: Unify dual-firmware devices (Linksys)
Consistently handle boot-count reset and upgrade across
ipq40xx, ipq806x, kirkwood, mvebu

Dual-firmware devices often utilize a specific MTD partition
to record the number of times the boot loader has initiated boot.

Most of these devices are NAND, typically with a 2k erase size.
When this code was ported to the ipq40xx platform, the device in hand
used NOR for this partition, with a 16-byte "record" size. As the
implementation of `mtd resetbc` is by-platform, the hard-coded nature
of this change prevented proper operation of a NAND-based device.

* Unified the "NOR" variant with the rest of the Linksys variants

* Added logging to indicate success and failure

* Provided a meaningful return value for scripting

* "Protected" the use of `mtd resetbc` in start-up scripts so that
   failure does not end the boot sequence

* Moved Linksys-specific actions into common `/etc/init.d/bootcount`

For upgrade, these devices need to determine which partition to flash,
as well as set certain U-Boot envirnment variables to change the next
boot to the newly flashed version.

* Moved upgrade-related environment changes out of bootcount

* Combined multiple flashes of environment into single one

* Current-partition detection now handles absence of `boot_part`

Runtime-tested: Linksys EA8300
