Christian Lamparter 45eb57f12f ipq40xx: unbreak EZVIZ CS-W3-WD1200G EUP on 5.10
with current images, the device is no longer booting.
It gets stuck in the bootloader with "Config not available"
and drops to the uboot shell.

|flash_type: 0
|Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0
|SF: Detected MX25L12805D with page size 4 KiB, total 16 MiB
|Config not availabale
|(IPQ40xx) #

This is because the default bootcmd "bootipq" will only read
the first four MiB of the kernel image. With 5.10 the gzip'd
kernel is slightly larger. So the part of the FIT image which
had the configuration is cut off. Hence it can't find it.

To update the bootcmd, you have to attach the serial console
again and enter the following commands into the boot prompt:

 # setenv bootcmd "sf probe; sf read 84000000 180000 600000; bootm"
 # saveenv
 # run bootcmd

This will allow booting kernels with up to six MiB. This also
allows us to drop the DEVICE_DTS_CONFIG hack we had to use.

Note:
uboot doesn't support LZMA. It fails with:
"Unimplemented compression type 3"

Felix Matouschek 1cc3b95efc ipq40xx: Add support for Teltonika RUTX10
This patch adds support for the Teltonika RUTX10.
This device is an industrial DIN-rail router with 4 ethernet ports,
2.4G/5G dualband WiFi, Bluetooth, a USB 2.0 port and two GPIOs.

The RUTX series devices are very similiar so common parts of the DTS
are kept in a DTSI file. They are based on the QCA AP-DK01.1-C1 dev
board.

See https://teltonika-networks.com/product/rutx10 for more info.

Hardware:
  SoC:                 Qualcomm IPQ4018
  RAM:                 256MB DDR3
  SPI Flash 1:         XTX XT25F128B (16MB, NOR)
  SPI Flash 2:         XTX XT26G02AWS (256MB, NAND)
  Ethernet:            Built-in IPQ4018 (SoC, QCA8075), 4x 10/100/1000 ports

  Bluetooth:           Qualcomm CSR8510 (A10U)
  LED/GPIO controller: STM32F030 with custom firmware
  Buttons:             Reset button
  Leds:                Power (green, cannot be controlled)
                       WiFi 2.4G activity (green)
                       WiFi 5G activity (green)

MACs Details verified with the stock firmware:
   eth0:             Partition 0:CONFIG Offset: 0x0
   eth1:             = eth0 + 1
   radio0 (2.4 GHz): = eth0 + 2
   radio1 (5.0 GHz): = eth0 + 3
Label MAC address is from eth0.

The LED/GPIO controller needs a separate kernel driver to function.
The driver was extracted from the Teltonika GPL sources and can be
found at following feed: https://github.com/0xFelix/teltonika-rutx-openwrt

USB detection of the bluetooth interface is sometimes a bit flaky. When
not detected power cycle the device. When the bluetooth interface was
detected properly it can be used with bluez / bluetoothctl.

Flash instructions via stock web interface (sysupgrade based):
  1. Set PC to fixed ip address 192.168.1.100
  2. Push reset button and power on the device
  3. Open u-boot HTTP recovery at http://192.168.1.1
  4. Upload latest stock firmware and wait until the device is rebooted
  5. Open stock web interface at http://192.168.1.1
  6. Set some password so the web interface is happy
  7. Go to firmware upgrade settings
  8. Choose
     openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-teltonika_rutx10-squashfs-nand-factory.ubi
  9. Set 'Keep settings' to off
  10. Click update, when warned that it is not a signed image proceed

Return to stock firmware:
  1. Set PC to fixed ip address 192.168.1.100
  2. Push reset button and power on the device
  3. Open u-boot HTTP recovery at http://192.168.1.1
  4. Upload latest stock firmware and wait until the device is rebooted

Note: The DTS expects OpenWrt to be running from the second rootfs
partition. u-boot on these devices hot-patches the DTS so running from the
first rootfs partition should also be possible. If you want to be save follow
the instructions above. u-boot HTTP recovery restores the device so that when
flashing OpenWrt from stock firmware it is flashed to the second rootfs
partition and the DTS matches.

Richard Yu 12d33d388c ipq40xx: add support for P&W R619AC (aka G-DOCK 2.0)
P&W R619AC is a IPQ4019 Dual-Band AC1200 router.
It is made by P&W (p2w-tech.com) known as P&W R619AC
but marketed and sold more popularly as G-DOCK 2.0.

Specification:

* SOC: Qualcomm Atheros IPQ4019 (717 MHz)
* RAM: 512 MiB
* Flash: 16 MiB (NOR) + 128 MiB (NAND)
* Ethernet: 5 x 10/100/1000 (4 x LAN, 1 x WAN)
* Wireless:
  - 2.4 GHz b/g/n Qualcomm Atheros IPQ4019
  - 5 GHz a/n/ac Qualcomm Atheros IPQ4019
* USB: 1 x USB 3.0
* LED: 4 x LAN, 1 x WAN, 2 x WiFi, 1 x Power (All Blue LED)
* Input: 1 x reset
* 1 x MicroSD card slot
* Serial console: 115200bps, pinheader J2 on PCB
* Power: DC 12V 2A
* 1 x Unpopulated mPCIe Slot (see below how to connect it)
* 1 x Unpopulated Sim Card Slot

Installation:
1. Access to tty console via UART serial
2. Enter failsafe mode and mount rootfs
   <https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/troubleshooting/failsafe_and_factory_reset>
3. Edit inittab to enable shell on tty console
   `sed -i 's/#ttyM/ttyM/' /etc/inittab`
4. Reboot and upload `-nand-factory.bin` to the router (using wget)
5. Use `sysupgrade` command to install

Another installation method is to hijack the upgrade server domain
of stock firmware, because it's using insecure http.

This commit is based on @LGA1150(at GitHub)'s work
<a4932c8d5a>
With some changes:
1. Added `qpic_bam` node in dts. I don't know much about this,
   but I observed other dtses have this node.
2. Removed `ldo` node under `sd_0_pinmux`, because `ldo` cause SD card not
   working. This fix is from
   <51143b4c75>
3. Removed the 32MB NOR variant.
4. Removed `cd-gpios` in `sdhci` node, because it's reported that it makes
   wlan2g led light up.
5. Added ethphy led config in dts.
6. Changed nand partition label from `rootfs` to `ubi`.

About the 128MiB variant: The stock bootloader sets size of nand to 64MiB.
But most of this devices have 128MiB nand. If you want to use all 128MiB,
you need to modify the `MIBIB` data of bootloader. More details can be
found on github:

About the Mini PCIe slot: (from "ygleg")
"The REFCLK signals on the Mini PCIe slot is not connected on
this board out of the box. If you want to use the Mini PCIe slot

R436 (REFCLK+) and R444 (REFCLK-)..."

Davide Fioravanti 2cb24b3f3c ipq40xx: add support for Netgear SRR60/SRS60 and RBR50/RBS50
The Netgear SRS60 and SRR60 (sold together as SRK60) are two almost
identical AC3000 routers. The SRR60 has one port labeled as wan while
the SRS60 not. The RBR50 and RBS50 (sold together as RBK50) have a
different external shape but they have an USB 2.0 port on the back.

This patch has been tested only on SRS60 and RBR50, but should work
on SRR60 and RBS50.

Hardware
--------
SoC:   Qualcomm IPQ4019 (717 MHz, 4 cores 4 threads)
RAM:   512MB DDR3
FLASH: 4GB EMMC
ETH:
  - 3x 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet
  - 1x 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet (WAN)
WIFI:
  - 2.4GHz: 1x IPQ4019 (2x2:2)
  - 5GHz:   1x IPQ4019 (2x2:2)
  - 5GHz:   1x QCA9984 (4x4:4)
  - 6 internal antennas
BTN:
  - 1x Reset button
  - 1x Sync button
  - 1x ON/OFF button
LEDS:
  - 8 leds controlled by TLC59208F (they can be switched on/off
    independendently but the color can by changed by GPIOs)
  - 1x Red led (Power)
  - 1x Green led (Power)
UART:
  - 115200-8-N-1

Everything works correctly.

Installation
------------
These routers have a dual partition system. However this firmware works
only on boot partition 1 and the OEM web interface will always flash on
the partition currently not booted.

The following steps will use the SRS60 firmware, but you have to chose
the right firmware for your router.

There are 2 ways to install Openwrt the first time:

1) Using NMRPflash
 1. Download nmrpflash (https://github.com/jclehner/nmrpflash)
 2. Put the openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-netgear_srs60-squashfs-factory.img
	file in the same folder of the nmrpflash executable
 3. Connect your pc to the router using the port near the power button.
 4. Run "nmrpflash -i XXX -f openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-netgear_srs60-squashfs-factory.img".
	Replace XXX with your network interface (can be identified by
	running "nmrpflash -L")
 5. Power on the router and wait for the flash to complete. After about
	a minute the router should boot directly to Openwrt. If nothing
	happens try to reboot the router. If you have problems flashing
	try to set "10.164.183.253" as your computer IP address

2) Without NMRPflash
The OEM web interface will always flash on the partition currently not
booted, so to flash OpenWrt for the first time you have to switch to
boot partition 2 and then flash the factory image directly from the OEM
web interface.

To switch on partition 2 you have to enable telnet first:
 1. Go to http://192.168.1.250/debug.htm and check "Enable Telnet".
 2. Connect through telent ("telnet 192.168.1.250") and login using
	admin/password.

	To read the current boot_part:
		artmtd -r boot_part

	To write the new boot_part:
		artmtd -w boot_part 02

	Then reboot the router and then check again the current booted
	partition

Now that you are on boot partition 2 you can flash the factory Openwrt
image directly from the OEM web interface.

Restore OEM Firmware
--------------------
 1. Download the stock firmware from official netgear support.
 2. Follow the nmrpflash procedure like above, using the official
	Netgear firmware (for example SRS60-V2.2.1.210.img)

        nmrpflash -i XXX -f SRS60-V2.2.1.210.img

Notes
-----
1) You can check and edit the boot partition in the Uboot shell using
	the UART connection.
	"boot_partition_show" shows the current boot partition
	"boot_partition_set 1" sets the current boot partition to 1

2) Router mac addresses:

   LAN XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:69
   WAN XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:6a
   WIFI 2G XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:69
   WIFI 5G XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:6b

Szabolcs Hubai 81d694e30b ipq40xx: use zImage for GL.iNet GL-B1300, GL-S1300 to shrink below 4096k
In the "ipq40xx: switch to Kernel 5.10" discussion at GitHub,
Adrian noted [0] that these GL.iNet Conexa series devices,
GL-B1300 and GL-S1300 failed their image generation [1] as their gzipped
uImage kernel went above 4096k.

While notifying the vendor about this problem [2], I tested all U-Boot
releases from GL.iNet:
- they really fail to boot kernel above 4096k
- they don't support lzma: "Unimplemented compression type 3"
- but they boot zImage

Using zImage (xz compression) the kernel is 2909k which is
more than a megabyte away from the KERNEL_SIZE := 4096k limit.

The gzip compressed version would be 4116k.

Tomasz Maciej Nowak 1984a6bbca ipq40xx: add uboot-envtools to default packages
When support for Luma WRTQ-329ACN was added, the instructions for
flashing this device include using tools from uboot-envtools package.
Unfortunately the OpenWrt buildroot system omits packages from
DEVICE_PACKAGES when CONFIG_TARGET_MULTI_PROFILE,
CONFIG_TARGET_PER_DEVICE_ROOTFS, CONFIG_TARGET_ALL_PROFILES are set. In
result the official images are without tools mentioned in the
instruction. The workoround for the fashing would be installing
uboot-envtools when booted with initramfs image, but not always the
access to internet is available. The other method would be to issue the
necesary command in U-Boot environment but some serial terminals default
configuration don't work well with pasting lines longer than 80 chars.
Therefore add uboot-envtools to default packages, which adds really
small flash footprint to rootfs, where increased size usually is not an
issue.

Note that OpenWrt will use the WAN PoE port as actual WAN port
defaulting to DHCP client but NOT allowing LuCI access, use LAN port
defaulting to 192.168.1.1/24 to access LuCI.

Installation via TFTP Requiring Serial U-Boot Access:
Connect to the device's serial port and hit any key to stop autoboot.
Upload and boot the initramfs based OpenWrt image as follows:
(IPQ40xx) # setenv serverip 192.168.1.1
(IPQ40xx) # setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.2
(IPQ40xx) # tftpboot openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-netgear_wac510-initramfs-fit-uImage.itb
(IPQ40xx) # bootm

Note: This only runs OpenWrt from RAM and has not installed anything
to flash as of yet. One may permanently install OpenWrt as follows:

Check the MTD device number of the active partition:
root@OpenWrt:/# dmesg | grep 'set to be root filesystem'
[    1.010084] mtd: device 9 (rootfs) set to be root filesystem
Upload the factory image ending with .ubi to /tmp (e.g. using scp or
tftp). Then flash the image as follows (substituting the 9 in mtd9
below with whatever number reported above):
root@OpenWrt:/# ubiformat /dev/mtd9 -f /tmp/openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-netgear_wac510-squashfs-nand-factory.ubi
And reboot.

Dual Image Configuration:
The default U-Boot boot command bootipq uses the U-Boot environment
variables primary/secondary to decide which image to boot. E.g.
primary=0, secondary=3800000 uses rootfs while primary=3800000,
secondary=0 uses rootfs_1.
Switching their values changes the active partition. E.g. from within
U-Boot:
(IPQ40xx) # setenv primary 0
(IPQ40xx) # setenv secondary 3800000
(IPQ40xx) # saveenv
Or from a OpenWrt userspace serial/SSH console:
fw_setenv primary 0
fw_setenv secondary 3800000
Note that if you install two copies of OpenWrt then each will have its
independent configuration not like when switching partitions on the
stock firmware.
BTW: The kernel log shows which boot partition is active:
[    2.439050] ubi0: attached mtd9 (name "rootfs", size 56 MiB)
vs.
[    2.978785] ubi0: attached mtd10 (name "rootfs_1", size 56 MiB)
Note: After 3 failed boot attempts it automatically switches partition.

Robert Marko 36347d003a ipq40xx: fix boards being shown twice
Since generic images have been split to their own
Makefile boards are showing up twice in menuconfig
as $(eval $(call BuildImage)) was not dropped from
the new generic.mk.

Hence $(eval $(call BuildImage)) was being called
twice.

So, lets simply drop it from generic.mk.
