Before this was reworked, in the file for mt7621 subtarget

the "Transmitter shift register empty" bit TEMT was used instead of
the "Transmitter holding register empty" bit THRE,
but after the rework, this value was labeled as the THRE bit instead.
Functionally there is no difference, but this is confusing to read,
as it suggests that the subtargets have different bits for the same
register in UART when in reality they are exactly the same.
One can use either bit, or both, at user's descretion
in order to determine whether the UART TX buffer is ready.
The generic kernel early-printk uses both,
(arch/mips/kernel/early_printk_8250.c)
while the ralink-specific early-printk uses only THRE,
(arch/mips/ralink/early_printk.c).
Define both bits and rewrite macros for readability,
keep the same values, as changing which to use should be tested first.

ramips: lzma-loader: use virtual memory segments for uart base address
The native bus address for UART was entered for rt305x UART_BASE,
but the bootloaders have memory space remapped with the same
virtual memory map the kernel uses for program addressing at boot time.
In UBoot, the remapped address is often defined as TEXT_BASE.
In the kernel, for rt305x this remapped address is RT305X_SYSC_BASE.
(arch/mips/include/asm/mach-ralink/rt305x.h)
Because the ralink I/O busses begin at a low address of 0x10000000,
they are remapped using KSEG0 or KSEG1, which for all 32-bit MIPS SOCs
(arch/mips/include/asm/addrspace.h)
are offsets of 0x80000000 and 0xa0000000 respectively.
This is consistent with the other UART_BASE macros here
and with MIPS memory map documentation.
Before the recent rework of the lzma-loader for ramips,
the original board-$(PLATFORM).c files also did not
use KSEG1ADDR for UART_BASE despite being defined,
which made this mistake easier to occur.
Fix this by defining KSEG1ADDR again and actually use it.
Copy and paste from the kernel's macros for consistency.

Installation:
A. Through OpenWrt Dashboard:
If your router comes with OpenWrt preinstalled (modified by the seller),
you can easily upgrade by going to the dashboard (192.168.1.1) and then
navigate to System -> Backup/Flash firmware, then flash the firmware
B. Through TFTP
Standard installation via UART:
1. Connect USB Serial Adapter to the UART, (NOTE: Don't connect the VCC pin).
2. Power on the router. Make sure that you can access your router via UART.
3. Restart the router then repeatedly press ctrl + c to skip default boot.
4. Type > bootmenu
5. Press '2' to select upgrade firmware
6. Press 'Y' on 'Run image after upgrading?'
7. Press '0' and hit 'enter' to select TFTP client (default)
8. Fill the U-Boot's IP address and TFTP server's IP address.
9. Finally, enter the 'firmware' filename.
Based on patch adding support for similar Zbtlink ZBT-Z8103AX device by
Ian Ishmael C. Oderon.
Flash instructions:
1. Connect to your PC via the Gigabit port of the router,
set a static ip on the ethernet interface of your PC.
(ip 192.168.1.254, gateway 192.168.1.1)
2. Attach UART, pause at u-boot menu.
3. Select "Upgrade ATF BL2", then use preloader.bin
4. Select "Upgrade ATF FIP", then use bl31-uboot.fip
5. Download the initramfs image, and type "reset",
waiting for tftp recovery to complete.
6. After openwrt boots up, perform sysupgrade.

1. Since NMBM is disabled, we must back up all partitions.
2. Although we can upgrade new firmware in the stock firmware,
we need the special fit image signature of MediaTek and
dual boot (hack kernel) to make u-boot boot it. So just
abandon these hacks and flash it via the serial port.

filogic: support Telenor branded ZyXEL EX5700
Telenor quirks
--------------
The operator specific firmware running on the Telenor branded
ZyXEL EX5700 includes U-Boot modifications affecting the OpenWrt
installation.
Notable changes to U-Boot include
- environment is stored in RAM and reset to defaults when power
cycled
- dual partition scheme with "nomimal" or "rescue" systems, falling
back to "rescue" unless the OS signals success in 3 attempts
- several runtime additions to the device-tree
Some of these modifications have side effects requiring workarounds
- U-Boot modifies /chosen/bootargs in an unsafe manner, and will crash
unless this node exists
- U-Boot verifies that the selected rootfs UBI volume exists, and
refuses to boot if it doesn't. The chosen "rootfs" volume must contain
a squashfs signature even for tftp or initramfs booting.
- U-Boot parses the "factoryparams" UBI volume, setting the "ethaddr"
variable to the label mac. But "factoryparams" does not always
exist. Instead there is a "RIP" volume containing all the factory
data. Copying the "RIP" volume to "factoryparams" will fix this

scripts/getver.sh: prevent asking for negative rev-parse
With the case of asking an invalid version that is too big, getver.sh
might return an invalid output in the form of HEAD~-2260475641.
This is caused by BASE_REV - GET_REV using a negative number.
Prevent this by checking if BASE_REV - GET_REV actually return 0 or a
positive number and set REV variable accordingly. With the following
change, invalid revision number will result in unknown printed instead
of the invalid HEAD~-NUMBERS output.
