Roland Reinl b3ce08e0b6 mediatek: filogic: Add support for D-Link AQUILA PRO AI M60
Specification:
 - MT7986 CPU using 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi (both AX)
 - MT7531 switch
 - 512MB RAM
 - 128MB NAND flash (MX35LF1GE4AB-Z4I) with two UBI partitions with identical size
 - 1 multi color LED (red, green, blue, white) connected via GCA230718 (Same as D-Link M30 A1)
 - 3 buttons (WPS, reset, LED on/off)
 - 1x 2.5 Gbit WAN port with Maxlinear GPY211C
 - 4x 1 Gbit LAN ports

Disassembly:
 - There are five screws at the bottom: 2 under the rubber feet, 3 under the label.
 - After removing the screws, the white plastic part can be shifted out of the blue part.
 - Be careful because the antennas are mounted on the side and the top of the white part.

Serial Interface
 - The serial interface can be connected to the 4 pin holes next to/under the antenna cables.
 - Note that there is another set of 4 pin holes on the side of the board, it's not used.
 - Pins (from front to rear):
   - 3.3V (do not connect)
   - TX
   - RX
   - GND
 - Settings: 115200, 8N1

MAC addresses:
 - MAC address is stored in partition "Odm" at offset 0x81 (for example XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:52)
 - MAC address on the device label is ODM + 1 (for example XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:53)
 - WAN MAC is the one from the ODM partition (for example XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:52)
 - LAN MAC is the one from the ODM partition + 1 (for example XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:53)
 - WLAN MAC (2.4 GHz) is the one from the ODM partition + 2 (for example (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:54)
 - WLAN MAC (5 GHz) is the one from the ODM partition + 5 (for example (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:57)

Flashing via OEM web interface:
 - Currently not supported because image crypto is not known

Flashing via recovery web interface:
 - This is only working if the first partition is active because recovery images are always flashed to the active partition and OpenWrt can only be executed from the first partition
 - Use a Chromium based browser, otherwise firmware upgrade might not work
 - Recovery web interface is accessible via 192.168.200.1 after keeping the reset button pressed during start of the device until the LED blinks red
 - Upload the recovery image, this will take some time. LED will continue flashing red during the update process
 - The after flashing, the recovery web interface redirects to http://192.168.0.1. This can be ignored. OpenWrt is accessible via 192.168.1.1 after flashing
 - If the first partition isn't the active partition, OpenWrt will hang during the boot process. In this case:
   - Download the recovery image from https://github.com/RolandoMagico/openwrt/releases/tag/M60-Recovery-UBI-Switch (UBI switch image)
   - Enable recovery web interface again and load the UBI switch image. This image works on the second partition of the M60
   - OpenWrt should boot now as expected. After booting, flash the normal OpenWrt sysupgrade image (for example in the OpenWrt web interface)
   - Flashing a sysupgrade image from the UBI switch image will make the first partition the active partition and from now on, default OpenWrt images can be used

Flashing via Initramfs:
- Before switching to OpenWrt, ensure that both partitions contain OEM firmware.
  - This can be achieved by re-flashing the same OEM firmware version again via the OEM web interface.
  - Flashing via OEM web interface will automatically flash the currently not active partition.
- Open router, connect serial interface
- Start a TFTP server at 192.168.200.2 and provide the initramfs image there
- When starting the router, select "7. Load Image" in U-Boot
- Settings for load address, load method can be kept as they are
- Specify host and router IP address if you use different ones than the default (Router 192.168.200.1, TFTP server 192.168.200.2)
- Enter the file name of the initramfs image
- Confirm "Run loaded data now?" question after loading the image with "Y"
- OpenWrt initramfs will start now
- Before flashing OpenWrt, create a backup of the "ubi" partition. It is required when reverting back to OEM
- Flash sysupgrade image to flash, during flashing the U-Boot variable sw_tryactive will be set to 0
  - During next boot, U-Boot tries to boot from the ubi partition. If it fails, it will switch to the ubi1 partition

Reverting back to OEM:
- Boot the initramfs image as described in "Flashing via Initramfs" above
- Copy the backed up ubi partition to /tmp (e.g. by using SCP)
- Write the backup to the UBI partition: mtd write /tmp/OpenWrt.mtd4.ubi.bin /dev/mtd4
- Reboot the device, OEM firmware will start now
