a9071d02b5 ipq40xx: Add support for Linksys MR8300 (Dallas)
The Linksys MR8300 is based on QCA4019 and QCA9888
and provides three, independent radios.
NAND provides two, alternate kernel/firmware images
with fail-over provided by the OEM U-Boot.

Hardware Highlights:

SoC: IPQ4019 at 717 MHz (4 CPUs)
RAM: 512MB RAM

SoC:	Qualcomm IPQ4019 at 717 MHz (4 CPUs)
RAM:	512M DDR3
FLASH:	256 MB NAND (Winbond W29N02GV, 8-bit parallel)
ETH:	Qualcomm QCA8075 (4x GigE LAN, 1x GigE Internet Ethernet Jacks)
BTN:	Reset and WPS
USB:	USB3.0, single port on rear with LED
SERIAL:	Serial pads internal (unpopulated)
LED:	Four status lights on top + USB LED
WIFI1:	2x2:2 QCA4019 2.4 GHz radio on ch. 1-14
WIFI2:  2x2:2 QCA4019 5 GHz radio on ch. 36-64
WIFI3:  2x2:2 QCA9888 5 GHz radio on ch. 100-165

Support is based on the already supported EA8300.
Key differences:
	EA8300 has 256MB RAM where MR8300 has 512MB RAM.
	MR8300 has a revised top panel LED setup.

Installation:
"Factory" images may be installed directly through the OEM GUI using
URL: https://ip-of-router/fwupdate.html (Typically 192.168.1.1)

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

819e7946b0 ipq40xx: Add support for Linksys EA8300 (Dallas)
The Linksys EA8300 is based on QCA4019 and QCA9888 and provides three,
independent radios. NAND provides two, alternate kernel/firmware
images with fail-over provided by the OEM U-Boot.

Installation:

  "Factory" images may be installed directly through the OEM GUI.

Hardware Highlights:

  * IPQ4019 at 717 MHz (4 CPUs)
  * 256 MB NAND (Winbond W29N02GV, 8-bit parallel)
  * 256 MB RAM
  * Three, fully-functional radios; `iw phy` reports (FCC/US, -CT):
      * 2.4 GHz radio at 30 dBm
      * 5 GHz radio on ch. 36-64 at 23 dBm
      * 5 GHz radio on ch. 100-144 at 23 dBm (DFS), 149-165 at 30 dBm
      #{ managed } <= 16, #{ AP, mesh point } <= 16, #{ IBSS } <= 1
      * All two-stream, MCS 0-9
  * 4x GigE LAN, 1x GigE Internet Ethernet jacks with port lights
  * USB3, single port on rear with LED
  * WPS and reset buttons
  * Four status lights on top
  * Serial pads internal (unpopulated)

  "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

   J3 |

  |O| | (3.3V seen, open-circuit)
  |O| | TXD
  |O| | RXD
  |O| |
  |O| | GND
  |-| |

Unimplemented:

    * serial1 "ttyQHS0" (serial0 works as console)
    * Bluetooth; Qualcomm CSR8811 (potentially conected to serial1)

Other Notes:

    https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Linksys_EA8300 states

        FCC docs also cover the Linksys EA8250. According to the
	RF Test Report BT BR+EDR, "All models are identical except
	for the EA8300 supports 256QAM and the EA8250 disable 256QAM."

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

c568c6dc09 ipq40xx: add support for ALFA Network AP120C-AC
ALFA Network AP120C-AC is a dual-band ceiling AP, based on Qualcomm
IPQ4018 + QCA8075 platform.

Specification:

- Qualcomm IPQ4018 (717 MHz)
- 256 MB of RAM (DDR3)
- 16 MB (SPI NOR) + 128 MB (SPI NAND) of flash
- 2x Gbps Ethernet, with 802.3af PoE support in one port
- 2T2R 2.4/5 GHz (IPQ4018), with ext. FEMs (QFE1952, QFE1922)
- 3x U.FL connectors
- 1x 1.8 dBi (Bluetooth) and 2x 3/5 dBi dual-band (Wi-Fi) antennas
- Atmel/Microchip AT97SC3205T TPM module (I2C bus)
- TI CC2540 Bluetooth LE module (USB 2.0 bus)
- 4x LED (all driven by GPIO)
- 1x button (reset)
- 1x USB 2.0 (optional, not installed in indoor version)
- DC jack for main power input (12 V)
- UART header available on PCB (2.0 mm pitch)

Flash instruction:

1. This board uses dual-image feature (128 MB NAND is divided into two
   64 MB partitions: 'rootfs1' and 'rootfs2').
2. Before update, make sure your device is running firmware no older
   than v1.1 (previous versions have incompatible U-Boot).
3. Use 'factory' image in vendor GUI or for sysupgrade tool, without
   preserving settings.
