realtek: remove redundant is_lagmember checks
All callers of the rtl83xx_mc_group_* functions already do the same

realtek: remove store_mcgroups/load_mcgroups
The current implementation only works when store and load are called for
the same port without any other calls in between. This is because the
store function only saves a single port number instead of a portmask for
each group. It also doesn't take into account that the allocation of
multicast group entries might change between store/load calls.
As a result, the multicast port mask table gets corrupted. This also
includes the reserved entry for unknown multicast, which gets corrupted
even when no other mdb entries have been added.
Remove the code for storing/loading multicast groups entirely, as the
original commit message doesn't offer a convincing reason why this would
be necessary in the first place.

For standalone ports, this behaviour is undesired, as all traffic should

A situation where this issue can occur is when a non-offloaded bond
interface is part of a bridge. In that case, the CPU port will have fdb

This deactivates the CONFIG_COMPAT kernel option.
With CONFIG_COMPAT the kernel will provide syscall interfaces for arm32
binaries in addition to the interfaces needed for arm64 binaries.
In OpenWrt the complete userspace is compiled for this specific
architecture and support for 32 bit ARM applications is not needed.
This reduces the size and the attack surface for the systems.
On all other targets CONFIG_COMPAT is already deactivated.
kernel: Activate CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY for all targets
This activates CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY for the remaining targets. This

This was not activated for ARCHS38 before because of a bug in the Linux
kernel 5.4 till 5.14, which as fixed and is described here:
https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/linux/issues/15
I do not know why this was deactivated for mt7629 and rockchip.
The device is cloud-managed, but there is a hidden local firmware upgrade
page in the OEM web interface. The device has to be registered in the
cloud in order to be able to access this page.
The system has a dual firmware design, there is no way to tell which
firmware is currently booted. Therefore, an -initramfs version is flashed
first.
1. Log into the OEM web GUI
2. Access the hidden upgrade page by navigating to
https://192.168.212.1/gui/#/main/debug/firmwareupgrade
3. Upload the -initramfs-kernel.bin file and flash it
4. Wait for OpenWrt to boot and log in via SSH
5. Transfer the sysupgrade file via SCP
6. Run sysupgrade to install the image
7. Reboot and enjoy
NB: If the initramfs version was installed in RAS2, the sysupgrade script
sets the boot number to the first partition. A backup has to be performed
manually in case the OEM firwmare should be kept.
The UART method is more difficult, as the boot loader does not have a
timeout set. A semi-working stock firmware is required to configure it:
1. Attach UART
2. Boot the stock firmware until the message about failsafe mode appears
3. Enter failsafe mode by pressing "f" and "Enter"
4. Type "mount_root"
5. Run "fw_setenv bootmenu_delay 3"
6. Reboot, U-Boot now presents a menu
7. The -initramfs-kernel.bin image can be flashed using the menu
8. Run the regular sysupgrade for a permanent installation
Changing the partition to boot is a bit cumbersome in U-Boot, as there is
no menu to select it. It can only be checked using mstc_bootnum. To change
it, issue the following commands in U-Boot:
This selects FW1. Replace "mw.b 1800004 1 1" by "mw.b 1800004 2 1" to
change to the second slot.

It is possible to flash back to stock, but a OEM firmware upgrade is
required. ZyXEL does not provide the link on its website, but the link
can be acquired from the OEM web GUI by analyzing the transferred JSON
objects.
It is then a matter of writing the firmware to Kernel2 and setting the
boot partition to FW2:

umbim: include MBIM-provided DNS servers also with DHCP mode
In MBIM interfaces, DNS servers may be provided out-of-band regardless
whether DHCP is used for configuration, or not. Move the DNS
configuration outside "if" blocks to support that.

umbim: handle MTU configuration
Allow setting interface MTU through UCI. If this is not set,
use MBIM-provided MTU, if provided through control channel.
If separate MTUs are provided for IPv4 and IPv6, apply larger of them.
This is very unlikely and possible only for IPv4v6 dual-stack configuration.

umbim: support multiple-valued configuration fields
MBIM supports multiple values for IP address and DNS server, and such
configuration is available through output of MBIM. Use new helper
method to support adding multiple addresses and DNS servers to static
interfaces for both IPv4 and IPv6.

umbim: add "_proto_mbim_get_field" helper
Add a new helper to extract IP configuration from umbim output. This is
required to extract fields which can possibly have multiple values,
namely IP addresses and DNS servers, and get rid of primitive parser
using 'eval' builtin without support for this.

umbim: pass ipXtable to child interfaces
Inspired by commti e51aa699f7ca, allow setting specific routing tables
via ip4table and ip6table options, by passing them on child interfaces
created by MBIM protocol handler.
umbim: use static config by default, fallback to DHCP
Finally, inspired by ModemManager's logic, make static configuration
obtained through MBIM control channel, preferred.
If IP configuration is not available this way, fallback to DHCP(v6) if
enabled, else do not create a sub-interface for unavailable IP type.

umbim: separate DHCPv6 configuration from DHCP(v4)
Now, that sub-interface setup is split by IP type, and separate checks
are performed for DHCP selection, it is possible to control DHCP on v4
an v6 sub-interfaces instantly. Add "dhcpv6" variable, akin to QMI
option, to control behaviour of DHCPv6 separately from IPv4 option,
which is required for some mobile operators.
Check whether interface is configured per IP type, not per DHCP. This is
preparation to allow fallback to DHCP if static IP configuration is not
available, which is the default option for MBIM modems
umbim: inherit "peerdns" option from parent interface
MBIM protocol handler should intherit "peerdns" options from parent
interface on sub-interfaces, otherwise upstream DNS servers are applied
regardless of configuration.
umbim: use IP configuration provided by MBIM by default
Previously, DHCP was used. According to MBIM Specification v1.0 errata 1 [1],
section 10.5.20, MBIM_CID_IP_CONFIGURATION,
if MBIM information element containing IP configuration is available,
host shall use it, and fall back to in-band mechanisms to acquire it therwise -
therefore make static configuration the default.

umbim: detect actual connection IP type
Current implementation needlessly creates both IPv4 and IPv6
sub-interfaces for single-stack IP types. Limit this only to selected IP
type. While at that, ensure that IP type is also passed to umbim during
"connect" phase. In addition, detect the actual established connection
type returned by umbim and set up subinterfaces according to that,
not to requested configuration. While at that, allow empty IP type explicitly,
interpreted as "any" according to MBIM specification.

umbim: fail connect step immediately
Subsequent calls to 'umbim connect' do not have any effect if a failure
occured, and in such case an infinite loop without timeout is created,
leading to possibility of interface stuck at connecting forever.
Drop this loop, and issue MBIM disconnect properly, so netifd can
restart from scratch.
This issue can be observed with Sierra EM7455 at changing APN, which
causes network re-registration by default, and a MBIM transaction
timeout, which is resolved on next interface bringup by netifd.

umbim: connect session for only the selected PDP type
Previous implementation automatically set up connections for both IPv4
and IPv6, even if one of them isn't supported. Respect the "pdptype"
option in the same way, as it is done for QMI or NCM, and only start the
respective PDN sessions, if set.
