Michal Cieslakiewicz a736f39432 ath79: add support for Netgear WNDR4500 v3
This patch introduces support for Netgear WNDR4500v3. Router
is very similar to WNDR4300v2 and is based on the same PCB.

Information gathered from various Internet sources (including
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/809227/) shows following
differences to WNDR4300v2:

 * two USB 2.0 ports with separate LEDs
 * USB LEDs soldered to secondary pads
 * WPS and RFKILL buttons soldered to secondary pads
 * described as N900 device with 3x3:3 MIMO for 2.4GHz radio
 * power supply requirement is DC 12V 2.5A
 * vendor HW ID suffix differs in one digit
 * bigger chassis

Important Notes
===============
0. NOR Flash (2 MiB) is not touched by OpenWrt installation.
1. NAND Flash (128 MiB) layout under OpenWrt is changed as follows:
   all space is split between 4 MiB kernel and 124 MiB UBI areas;
   vendor partitions (language and mtdoops) are removed; kernel space
   size can be further expanded if needed; maximum image size is set
   to 25600k for compatibility reasons and can also be increased.
2. CPU clock is 775 MHz, not 750 MHz.
3. 5 GHz wireless radio chip is Atheros AR9580-AR1A with bogus PCI
   device ID 0xabcd. For ath9k driver to load successfully, this is
   overriden in DTS with correct value for this chip, 0x0033.
4. RFKILL button is wired to AR9580 pin 9 which is normally disabled
   by chip definition in ath9k code (0x0000F4FF gpio mask). Therefore
   'qca,gpio-mask=<0xf6ff>' hack must be used for button to work
   properly.
5. USB port is always on, no GPIO for 5V power control has been
   identified.

and resized to include Netgear-specific flash areas (pot, language,
config, traffic_meter) not used by OpenWrt.

Jeff Kletsky 55e6c903ae ath79: GL-AR300M: provide NAND support; increase to 4 MB kernel
The GL.iNet GL-AR300M 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. Devices with both NOR and NAND flash can support
independent firmware on each, with U-Boot able to boot from either.
The OEM U-Boot will fall back to the NOR firmware after three
"unsuccessful" boots.

The family of GL-AR300M devices on the ath79 platform now includes:

  * glinet,gl-ar300m-lite       "generic" target, NOR-only board
  * glinet,gl-ar300m-nand       "nand" target
  * glinet,gl-ar300m-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-ar300m-nor firmware produced by this commit:

  * gl-ar300m            -- OEM v3 NOR    ar71xx (openwrt-ar300m16-*.bin)
  * gl-ar300m            -- OpenWrt 18.06 ar71xx
  * gl-ar300m            -- OpenWrt 19.07 ar71xx

Other upgrades to these images should be performed through U-Boot.

The GL-AR300M 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-ar300m-nand and glinet,gl-ar300m-nor images generated
after this commit should safely flash each other using sysupgrade.

The boot counter is implemented by the OEM using u-boot-env. At this
time, it does not appear that the switch on the side of the unit can
be used to select NOR vs. NAND boot and the fail-over is only from
NAND to NOR. To save flash wear, it is only reset when running the
glinet,gl-ar300m-nand firmware.

NAND-specific base-files are used to remove impact on existing
generic and tiny targets.

As there is now no "generic" build appropriate for the GL-AR300M16,
(or for users of the GL-AR300M that do not need access to NAND)
it will be introduced in a subsequent commit.

Note: `mtd_get_mac_binary art 0x6` does not return the proper MAC
and the GL.iNet source indicates that only the 0x0 offset is valid

The ar71xx targets are unmodified.

Adrian Schmutzler 0130022bae ath79: split base-files into subtargets
While most of the target's contents are split into subtargets, the
base-files are maintained for the target as a whole.

However, OpenWrt already implements a mechanism that will use (and
even prefer) files in the subtargets' directories. This can be
exploited to make several scripts subtarget-specific and thus save
some space (especially helpful for the tiny devices).

The only script remaining in parent base-files is
/etc/hotplug.d/ieee80211/00-wifi-migration, everything else is
moved/split.

Note that this will increase overall code lines, but reduce code
per subtarget.

base-files ipk size reduction:
master (generic)   49135 B
split (generic)    48533 B (- 0.6 kiB)
split (tiny)       43337 B (- 5.7 kiB)
split (nand)       44423 B (- 4.6 kiB)

Tested on TL-WR1043ND v4 (generic) and TL-WR841N v12 (tiny).
