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.
Installation
============
* TFTP recovery
* TFTP via U-boot prompt
* sysupgrade
* Web interface

Due to rebase of the base-files split patch after adding support
for the ZyXEL NBG6716, its base-files were added to the generic
subtarget, although the device belongs to the nand subtarget.
This moves the definitions to their proper locations.
