Piotr Dymacz e5d4c09667 ath79: add support for YunCore XD4200 and A782
YunCore XD4200 ('XD4200_W6.0' marking on PCB) is Qualcomm/Atheros based
(QCA9563, QCA9886, QCA8334) dual-band, Wave-2 AC1200 ceiling AP with PoE
(802.3at) support. A782 model ('T750_V5.1' marking on PCB) is a smaller
version of the XD4200, with similar specification but lower TX power.

Specification:

- QCA9563 (775 MHz)
- 128 MB of RAM (DDR2)
- 16 MB of FLASH (SPI NOR)
- 2x 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet (QCA8334), with 802.3at PoE support (WAN)
- Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz:
  - XD4200: 2T2R (QCA9563), with ext. PA (SKY65174-21) and LNA
  - A782: 2T2R (QCA9563), with ext. FEM (SKY85329-11)
- Wi-Fi 5 GHz:
  - XD4200: 2T2R (QCA9886), with ext. FEM (SKY85728-11)
  - A782: 2T2R (QCA9886), with ext. FEM (SKY85735-11)
- LEDs:
  - XD4200: 5x (2x driven by SOC, 1x driven by AC radio, 2x Ethernet)
  - A782: 3x (1x RGB, driven by SOC and radio, 2x Ethernet)
- 1x button (reset)
- 1x UART (4-pin, 2.54 mm pitch) header on PCB
- 1x DC jack (12 V)

Flash instructions:

If your device comes with generic QSDK based firmware, you can login
over telnet (login: root, empty password, default IP: 192.168.188.253),
issue first (important!) 'fw_setenv' command and then perform regular
upgrade, using 'sysupgrade -n -F ...' (you can use 'wget' to download
image to the device, SSH server is not available):

  fw_setenv bootcmd "bootm 0x9f050000 || bootm 0x9fe80000"
  sysupgrade -n -F openwrt-...-yuncore_...-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

In case your device runs firmware with YunCore custom GUI, you can use
U-Boot recovery mode:

1. Set a static IP 192.168.0.141/24 on PC and start TFTP server with
   'tftp' image renamed to 'upgrade.bin'
2. Power the device with reset button pressed and release it after 5-7
   seconds, recovery mode should start downloading image from server
   (unfortunately, there is no visible indication that recovery got
   enabled - in case of problems check TFTP server logs)

Jeff Kletsky b496a2294c ath79: GL-AR750S: provide NAND support; increase kernel to 4 MB
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.

Adrian Schmutzler b288c56e1e ath79: move base-files for ZyXEL NBG6716
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.

Fixes: 0130022bae ("ath79: split base-files into subtargets")

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).
