napi_build_skb() reuses NAPI skbuff_head cache in order to save some
cycles on freeing/allocating skbuff_heads on every new rx or completed
tx.
Use napi_consume_skb() to feed the cache with skbuff_heads of completed
tx so it's never empty.

Check if we're in NAPI context when refilling rx. Normally we're almost
always running in NAPI context. Dispatch to napi_alloc_frag() directly
instead of relying on netdev_alloc_frag() which does the same but with
the overhead of local_bh_disable/enable.

We can increase the efficiency of rx path by using buffers to receive
packets then build SKBs around them just before passing into the network
stack. In contrast, preallocating SKBs too early reduces CPU cache
efficiency.
Performance is slightly increased but the changes allow more
potential optimizations.

bmips is using Broadcom B53 DSA driver which means the ethernet driver
must compensate for 6 bytes tags from the internal switch.
This means using NET_IP_ALIGN actually misaligns the skb, lowering
performance significantly. Therefore napi_alloc_skb() which uses
NET_IP_ALIGN is changed to netdev_alloc_skb().
Performance in iperf3 is increased from ~47Mbps to 52Mbps.

Endianness depends on CPU architecture. CONFIG_CPU_(BIG/LITTLE)_ENDIAN should
be enabled on target or subtarget based on SoC architecture.
Fixes warning:
$ make kernel_oldconfig CONFIG_TARGET=subtarget
...
.config:1008:warning: override: CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN changes choice state
....
Summary:
- ARC - only the CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN symbol is defined for this architeture.
If it is disabled then the processor operates in LITTLE_ENDIAN mode (default),
- ARM32 - CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN symbol available since kernel 5.19. This
option should be enabled after OpenWRT moves to kernel 6.x. After refreshing
the kernel, the symbol disappears,
- ARM64 - enabled CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN,
- MIPS - enabled relevant symbols,
- POWERPC - enabled CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN,
- UML - Symbols are not defined for this architecture,
- X86 - always little endian. Symbols are not defined for this architecture.

In the current state, nvmem cells are only detected on platform device.
To quickly fix the problem, we register the affected problematic driver
with the of_platform but that is more an hack than a real solution.
Backport from net-next the required patch so that nvmem can work also
with non-platform devices and rework our current patch.
Drop the mediatek and dsa workaround and rework the ath10k patches.

So far, board.d files were having execute bit set and contained a
shebang. However, they are just sourced in board_detect, with an
apparantly unnecessary check for execute permission beforehand.
Replace this check by one for existance and make the board.d files
"normal" files, as would be expected in /etc anyway.

This removes an apparantly unused '#!/bin/sh /etc/rc.common' in
