mediatek: prepare old rtk switch driver for use with Linux 6.1
The old RealTek RTL8367S switch driver which is used for some MT7622

The upstream board-2.bin file in the linux-firmware.git

something that the ath10k driver supports.
Until this feature either gets implemented - which is
very unlikely -, or the upstream boardfile is mended
(both, the original submitter and ath10k-firmware

and use its own bespoke boardfile. This unfortunately
means that 2.4G and on some revisions the 5G WiFi is
not available in the initramfs image for this device.

ramips: mt7621: add TP-Link EAP613 v1
The TP-Link EAP613 v1 is a ceiling-mount 802.11ax access point. It can
be powered via PoE or a DC barrel connector (12V). Connecting to the
UART requires fine soldering and careful manipulation of any soldered
wires.
Device details:
* SoC: MT7621AT
* Flash: 16 MiB SPI NOR
* RAM: 256 MiB DDR3L
* Wi-Fi:
* MT7905DA + MT7975D: 2.4 GHz + 5 GHz (DBDC), 2x2:2
* Two stamped metal antennas (ANT1, ANT2)
* One PCB antenna (ANT3)
* One unpopulated antenna (ANT4)
* Ethernet:
* 1× 10/100/1000 Mbps port with PoE
* LEDs:
* Array of four blue LEDs with one control line
* Buttons:
* Reset
* Board test points:
* UART: next to CPU RF-shield and power circuits
* JTAG: under CPU RF-shield (untested)
* Watchdog: 3PEAK TPV706 (not implemented)
Althought three antennas are populated, the MT7905DA does not support
the additional Rx chain for background DFS detection (or Bluetooth)
according to commit 6cbcc34f50a3 ("ramips: disable unsupported
background radar detection").
The radio calibration blob stored in flash also contains valid MAC
addresses for both radio bands (OUI 00:0c:43).
Factory install:
1. Enable SSH on the device via web interface
2. Log in with SSH, and run `cliclientd stopcs`
3. Upload -factory.bin image via web interface. It may be necessary to
shorten the filename of the image to e.g. 'factory.bin'.
Recovery:
1. Open the device by unscrewing four screws from the backside
2. Carefully remove board from the housing
3. Connect to UART (3.3V):
* Find test points labelled "VCC", "GND", "UART_TX", "UART_RX"
* Solder wires to test points or connect otherwise. Be careful not
to damage the PCB e.g. by pulling on soldered wires.
* Open console with 115200n8 settings
4. Interrupt bootloader and use tftpboot to start an initramfs:
setenv ipaddr $DEVICE_IP
setenv serverip $SERVER_IP
tftpboot 84000000 openwrt-initramfs-kernel.bin
bootm
DO NOT use saveenv to store modified u-boot environment variables. The
environment is saved at flash offset 0x30000, which erases part of the
(secondary) bootloader.
The device uses two bootloader stages. The first stage will load the
second stage from a uImage stored at flash offset 0x10000. In case of
a damaged second stage, the first stage should allow uploading a new
image via y-modem (untested).

- Validation of 10G SFP link modes fail as Linux did not
consider the equivalence of modes like XFI, 10GBase-R
- Fix a locking issue that prevented the system rebooting
when SFP ports were controlled by the SFP driver.
Please note, these patches are replaced by upstream ones

The exploit will be available at the device wiki page.
Once inside the stock firmware, you can transfer the -factory.bin file to
/tmp by using "scp" from the stock frmware or "tftp".
ZTE has blocked writing to the NAND. Fortunately, it's easy to allow write
access - you need to read from one file in /proc. Once done, you need to
erase the UBI partition and flash OpenWrt. Before performing the operation,
make sure that mtd13 is the partition labelled "rootfs" by calling
"cat /proc/mtd".
Option 2 - from within OpenWrt
------------------------------
This option requires to flash an initramfs version first so that access
to the flash is possible. This can be achieved by sysupgrading to the
recovery.bin version and rebooting. Once rebooted, you are again in a
default OpenWrt installation, but no partition is mounted.
Follow the commands from Option 1 to flash back to stock.
LTE Modem
=========
The LTE modem is similar to other ZTE devices and controls some more LEDs
and battery management.
Configuring the connection using uqmi works properly, the modem
provides three serial ports and a QMI CDC ethernet interface.
Normal installation:
- Upload the sysupgrade image via the default web interface
Installation with U-Boot and TFTP:
- Requires a TFTP server which provides the sysupgrade image
- Requires a connection to the serial port of the device, rate 57600

ath79: add support for MikroTik RB951G-2HnD
MikroTik RB951G-2HnD is a wireless SOHO router that was previously
supported by the ar71xx target, see commit 7a709573d7 ("ar71xx: add
kernel support for the Mikrotik RB951G board").
Specifications
--------------
- SoC: Atheros AR9344 (600 MHz)
- RAM: 128 MB (2x 64 MB)
- Storage: 128 MB NAND flash (various manufacturers)
- Ethernet: Atheros AR8327 switch, 5x 10/100/1000 Mbit/s
- 1x PoE in (port 1, 8-30 V input)
- Wireless: Atheros AR9340 (802.11b/g/n)
- USB: 2.0 (1A)
- 8x LED:
- 1x power (green, not configurable)
- 1x user (green, not configurable)
- 5x GE ports (green, not configurable)
- 1x wireless (green, not configurable)
- 1x button (restart)
Unlike on the RB951Ui-2HnD, none of the LEDs on this device seem to be
GPIO-controllable, which was also the case for older OpenWRT versions
that supported this board via a mach file. The Ethernet port LEDs are
controlled by the switch chip.
See https://mikrotik.com/product/RB951G-2HnD for more details.
Flashing
--------
TFTP boot initramfs image and then perform sysupgrade. Follow
common MikroTik procedures at https://openwrt.org/toh/mikrotik/common.

ath79: mikrotik: extract common bits for RB951x-2HnD devices
Mikrotik RouterBOARD 951Ui-2HnD and Mikrotik RouterBOARD RB951G-2HnD are
very similar devices. Extract the DTS bits that are identical for these
two boards to a separate DTSI file.
ath79_pll_base was declared as extern but no code exported it.
