John Thomson 7d33aedd10 generic: platform/mikrotik: add wlan lz77 decompress
A number of new (or with recently updated caldata)
Mikrotik devices are using LZ77 magic for wlan tag hard_config data.
New devices include the Chateau LTE12 [1], and ax devices [2]
Newly factory flashed devices may include the hap ac3 [3]

This can be seen in decoded OEM supout [4] dmesg:
"radio data lz77 decompressed from"…

Investigating an arm RouterOS flash.ko module, and supplied example
hard_config dumps, the format was guessed via decompilation and live
debugging [5]. This decoder was then built from the guessed format
specification.

debug prints can be enabled in a DYNAMIC_DEBUG kernel build via the
kernel cmdline:

        chosen {
-               bootargs = "console=ttyS0,115200";
+               bootargs = "console=ttyS0,115200 dyndbg=\"file drivers/platform/mikrotik/* +p\"";
        };
