ath79: convert ath10k pre-calibration data to NVMEM (binary MAC)
This patch converts ath10k pre-calibration data to NVMEM format for
wave 2 devices with mtd binary MAC address. The "pre-calibration"
NVMEM cell size is 0x2f20. The MAC addresses are assigned via dts.

e826b64294 ath79: convert remaining mtd-mac-address cases to nvmem
Since the nvmem-based approach for retrieving MAC addresses
appears to depend on the addresses being set up after the
partitions, it is no longer possible to keep the MAC address
setup in shared DTSI files while the partitions itself are
set up in DTS files for the individual devices.

In ath79 the firmware partition is typically located somewhere
"in the middle" of the partition table. Thus, it's not trivial
to share the partitions containing MAC address information in
a common DTSI (like we did in some cases on ramips).

In this commit, MAC address setup is thus moved to the relevant
partitions, and in most cases needs to be duplicated. While
the duplication is not really nice, it eventually provides a
cleaner and more tidy setup, making the DTS(I) file
fragmentation a bit more logical. This should also help
with adding new devices, as information is distributed across
less locations.

For consistency, this commit also moves the mtd-cal-data property
"down" together with the MAC address setup, so it's not based
on a partition before the latter is defined either. (This is
only done for those files touched due to nvmem conversion.)

7422c7a6fa ath79: add support for TP-Link TL-WPA8630P (EU) v2.1
This adds support for the TP-Link TL-WPA8630P (EU) in its v2.1
version. The only unique aspect for the firmware compared to v2
layout is the partition layout.

Note that while the EU version has different partitioning for
v2.0 and v2.1, the v2.1 (AU) is supported by the v2-int image.

If you plan to use this device, make sure you have a look at
the Wiki page to check whether the device is supported and
which image needs to be taken.

Specifications
--------------

  - QCA9563 750MHz, 2.4GHz WiFi
  - QCA9888 5GHz WiFi
  - 8MiB SPI Flash
  - 128MiB RAM
  - 3 GBit Ports (QCA8337)
  - PLC (QCA7550)

Installation
------------

Installation is possible from the OEM web interface. Make sure to
install the latest OEM firmware first, so that the PLC firmware is
at the latest version. However, please also check the Wiki page
for hints according to altered partitioning between OEM firmware
revisions.

Notes
-----

The OEM firmware has 0x620000 to 0x680000 unassigned, so we leave
this empty as well. It is complicated enough already ...
