The bootloader only writes the first 2MB of the image to the NOR flash
when installing the NAND factory image. The bootloader is capable of
booting larger kernels as it boots from the memory mapped SPI flash.
Disable the NAND factory image. The NAND can be bootstrapped by writing
the NAND initramfs image using the NOR upgrade method in the bootloader
web-recovery and sysupgrading from there. The NOR variant is not
affected.
Also refactor the partition definitions in the DTS to make them less
annoying to read.

In ath79, for several SoCs the console bootargs are defined to the
very same value in every device's DTS. Consolidate these definitions
in the SoC dtsi files and drop further redundant definitions elsewhere.
The only device without any bootargs set has been OpenMesh OM5P-AC V2.
This will now inherit the setting from qca955x.dtsi
Note that while this tidies up master a lot, it might develop into a
frequent pitfall for backports.

A new shift mode was introduced since ar934x which has a way better
performance than current bitbang driver and can handle higher spi
clock properly. This commit adds a new driver to make use of this
new feature.
This new driver has chipselect properly configured and we don't need
cs-gpios hack in dts anymore. Remove them.

The "/dts-v1/;" identifier is supposed to be put once at the beginning
of a device tree file. Thus, it makes no sense to provide it a second
time in to-be-included DTSI files.
This removes the identifier from all DTSI files in /target/linux.
Most of the DTS files in OpenWrt do contain the "/dts-v1/;". It is
missing for most of the following targets, though:
mvebu, ipq806x, mpc85xx, ipq40xx
This does not touch ipq806x for now, as the bump to 4.19 is close.

The GL.iNet GL-AR750S has been supported by the ar71xx and ath79
platforms with access to its 16 MB NOR flash, but not its 128 MB
SPI NAND flash.
This commit provides support for the NAND through the upstream
SPI-NAND framework.
At this time, the OEM U-Boot appears to only support loading the
kernel from NOR. This configuration is preserved as this time,
with the glinet,gl-ar750s-nand name reserved for a potential,
future, NAND-only boot.
The family of GL-AR750S devices on the ath79 platform now includes:
* glinet,gl-ar750m-nor-nand "nand" target
* glinet,gl-ar750m-nor "nand" target (NAND-aware)
NB: This commit increases the kernel size from 2 MB to 4 MB
"Force-less" sysupgrade is presently supported from the current
versions of following NOR-based firmwre images to the version of
glinet,gl-ar750s-nor firmware produced by this commit:
* glinet,gl-ar750s -- OpenWrt 19.07 ar71xx
* glinet,gl-ar750s -- OpenWrt 19.07 ath79
Users who have sucessfully upgraded to glinet,gl-ar750m-nor may then
flash glinet,gl-ar750m-nor-nand with sysupgrade to transtion to the
NAND-based variant.
Other upgrades to these images, including directly to the NAND-based
glinet,gl-ar750s-nor-nand firmware, can be accomplished through U-Boot.
NB: See "ath79: restrict GL-AR750S kernel build-size to 2 MB" which
enables flashing of NAND factory.img with the current GL-iNet U-Boot,
"U-Boot 1.1.4-gcf378d80-dirty (Aug 16 2018 - 07:51:15)"
The GL-AR750S OEM U-Boot allows upload and flashing of either NOR
firmware (sysupgrade.bin) or NAND firmware (factory.img) through its
HTTP-based GUI. Serial connectivity is not required.
The glinet,gl-ar750s-nor and glinet,gl-ar750s-nor-nand images
generated after this commit flash each other directly.
This commit changes the control of the USB VBUS to gpio-hog from
regulator-fixed introduced by commit 0f6b944c92. This reduces the
compressed kernel size by ~14 kB, with no apparent loss of
functionality. No other ath79-nand boards are using regulator-fixed
at this time.
Note: mtd_get_mac_binary art 0x5006 does not return the proper MAC
and the GL.iNet source indicates that only the 0x0 offset is valid
The ar71xx targets are unmodified.
