meson is a next generation build system designed to have good defaults,
simpler build files, and fast compilation.
It is built upon python and uses ninja for compilation. The latter
provides fast by default (parallel) and problem free compilation.
There are over 40 packages already successfully using meson. The next
commit will convert pkgconf to use meson compilation.

ccaaab1c04 says that this is in the
codebase because of libsigc++, which is not in the codebase anymore.
Neither in base nor in packages. It doesn't seem to be needed by
anything else either. GNOME packages have transitioned to using meson,
which does not use m4 files.
Tested local compile with CONFIG_ALL. No problems seen.

Starting with v3 of the vendor firmware for the TP-Link EAP235-Wall v1,
downgrades to firmware versions below v3 as not allowed. Since OpenWrt
uses version 0.0.0 as a default, this causes the factory install to fail
on devices with a recent firmware. This failure is associated by the
following message on the device's serial console:
EAP235/230-Wall forbid fw reverted from 3.x.x to lower version!
Vendor firmware (v3) also uses build and release numbers to compare
images, so identical version numbers are very unlikely to cause issues.
Bump the firmware version to 3.0.0 to ensure users can install OpenWrt
on their devices.

Some devices using the safeloader firmware format require a minimum or
specific version to be set in the soft-version metadata partition.
Currently only custom text values can be provided, but not all device
firmware support this format.
Modify the device info struct to allow for more well-defined types of
soft-version overwrites, and provide a few macros for easy value
initialisation. Requires all existing values to be updated to match the
new structure.

The structured soft-version partition has a field which contains a
(source) revision number. Factory images used to include this, but
it was accidentaly removed during an earlier refactoring.
Include the source revision number again in the generated soft-version
partition. Additionaly, also show this revision number when printing
image info.

This was missed because scancode license scanner was confused by a
slightly different than expected license text (96,75% license score).
License text included "file" instead of "library" in the main part of
the licensing info. It also used "The GNU C Library" instead of the
standard "This library" in 2nd and 3rd paragraphs.
The first paragraph clearly mentions LGPL-2.1-or-later and the use of
"file" instead of "library" should not affect licensing.

these boards use a BCM NSP SoC with le32 addressing.
Since we may be booting initramfs images with this header, which may be

CPExxx and WBSxxx boards with AR9344 SOC
use the OKLI lzma kernel loader
with the offset of 3 blocks of length 4k (0x3000)
in order to have a fake "kernel" that cannot grow larger
than how it is defined in the now static OEM partition table.
Before recent changes to the mtdsplit driver,
the uImage parser for OKLI only supported images
that started exactly on an eraseblock boundary.
The mtdsplit parser for uImage now supports identifying images
with any magic number value
and at any offset from the eraseblock boundary
using DTS properties to define those values.
So, it is no longer necessary to use fixed sizes
for kernel and rootfs

This patch adds support for TP-Link Archer C6U v1 (EU).
The device is also known in some market as Archer C6 v3.
This patch supports only Archer C6U v1 (EU).
Specifications:
--------------
* SoC: Mediatek MT7621AT 2C2T, 880MHz
* RAM: 128MB DDR3
* Flash: 16MB SPI NOR flash (Winbond 25Q128)

* WiFi 2.4GHz: Mediatek MT7603EN (2x2:2)
* Ethernet: MT7630, 5x 1000Base-T.
* LED: Power, WAN, LAN, WiFi 2GHz and 5GHz, USB
* Buttons: Reset, WPS.
* UART: Serial console (115200 8n1), J1(GND:3)
* USB: One USB2 port.
Installation:
------------
Install the OpenWrt factory image for C6U is from the
TP-Link web interface.
1) Go to "Advanced/System Tools/Firmware Update".
2) Click "Browse" and upload the OpenWrt factory image:
openwrt-ramips-mt7621-tplink_archer-c6u-v1-squashfs-factory.bin.
3) Click the "Upgrade" button, and select "Yes" when prompted.
Recovery to stock firmware:
--------------------------
The C6U bootloader has a failsafe mode that provides a web
interface (running at 192.168.0.1) for reverting back to the
stock TP-Link firmware. The failsafe interface is triggered
from the serial console or on failed kernel boot. Unfortunately,
there's no key combination that enables the failsafe mode. This
gives us two options for recovery:
1) Recover using the serial console (J1 header).
The recovery interface can be selected by hitting 'x' when
prompted on boot.
2) Trigger the bootloader failsafe mode.
A more dangerous option is force the bootloader into
recovery mode by erasing the OpenWrt partition from the
OpenWrt's shell - e.g "mtd erase firmware". Please be
careful, since erasing the wrong partition can brick
your device.
