Historically on ARC we started from initramfs-based images because:
a) It was much easier to debug especially when toolchain and other
components were changing quite dynamically
b) It was our usual approach for embedded Linux
But now with ARC port of Lede/OpenWRT getting more stable and mature
we're ready for more real-life scenarios with FS permanently stored
on SD-card. This essentially benefits from ability to setup devices
that survive reboots with all settings and extra packages kept in place.
Still we keep an ability to build images with initramfs.
This allows us to use storage-less simulators for testing still.

If we want to boot from SD-card we need to have corresponding
drivers already built-in so there's no point in having these
modules.

Now when we're switching to FS on SD-card it's necessary to have
full stack of MMC block & FC drivers built-in otherwise kernel won't
be able to mount FS with needed modules.
Also we enable parsing of input parameters passed to the kernel by
U-Boot. Otherwise kernel won't know where to look for command line and
what's worse device tree blob (we had to disable this by default for
cases when kernel is loaded by JTAG and core registers may have
undefined state lading to kernel going bonkers).

As support of ARC 770 in OpenWRT/Lede matures we don't need
debug-only output binaries any longer, so purging vmlinux for
AXS10x boards.
As for uImage for nSIM it makes completely no sense because there's no
way to run U-Boot on nSIM.
So we remove add_arcYYY_XXX scripts making code more compact and
cleaner.

DW GMAC on ARC SDP boards doesn't enter promiscuous mode if
Ethernet PHY haven't got established link. Good examples are
auto-negotiation in progress or disconnected cable.
We do see Linux kernel sets GMAC's MAC filter register
properly but GMAC's hardware doesn't accept new settings.
We believe it is a hardware issue, most probably problem of
integration of DW GMAC and PHY on the board.
As a work-around we completely disable frame filtering
in GMAC hardware (once and for good) which forces GMAC to enter
promiscuous mode with the first write to MAC filter register.
That gives us working bridge that consists of eth0 and wlan0
(USB Wi-Fi dongle). I.e. we finally have working "Dumb AP" setup made
of ARC AXS10x boards.
Given that hack is quite dirty (in loaded wired networks this will
effectively load CPU with junk packets even if user doesn't need promisc
mode) and there's no indication any other boards with DW GMAC suffer
from the same issue we're patching only kernel for ARC boards.

Device/AVM unconditionally inherits Device/NAND, which changes the
sysupgrade image to sysupgrade-tar (instead of a "raw" sysupgrade image
as used in the Device/Default template).
This moves the Device/NAND call to the FRITZ3370 device definition, as
this is the only AVM/EVA device that uses NAND.
Additionally we have to define the IMAGE_SIZE for the AVM/EVA NOR
devices to ensure that the images are not discarded.

The image builder does not bundle sub-directories within $(KERNEL_BUILD_DIR),
therfore the intermediate "ventana-uImage.boot" directory is not shipped,
leading to failures with "make image" later on.
To circumvent the issue, store the intermediate boot files as tar archive
instead of putting them into a directory to ensure that they end up in the
final image builder tarball. Fixes FS#102

The AR8327 initvals were not copied to the DTS during the switch from
mach file to device tree and broke the switch on the device.
The former used PORT6 related initvals were wrong and have been
corrected.
The phy mode setting for the switch was missing in the DTS as well.
The wireless requires an eeprom to work. The dual band wireless chips
have both bands enabled by default but only one band per chip is
working.
The stock firmware uses the following mac addresses:
LAN: AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:E4
WAN: AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:E4
2.4GHz: AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:E4
5 GHz: AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:E8
Assuming the mac address range :E4 to :E8 is reserved for this device,
the MAC addresses were reorder to have a unique MAC address for each
interface:
LAN: AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:E4
2.4GHz: AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:E4
WAN: AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:E5

trivial modifications. This updates the copy to the version from current
kernel and refreshes the patch.

Over a year ago in a commit ac96a1665a ("bcm53xx: update Disable MMU
and Dcache during decompression") we switched to Florian's patch for
workarounding CFE bug. The main difference was using a part of existing
__armv7_mmu_cache_flush instead of implementing flushing separately.
This worked well for Northstar devices but doesn't work for BCM53573 as
these devices simply don't start booting with Florian's patch. It's
because of the ldmfd ASM instruction in the __armv7_mmu_cache_flush.
So this commit switches back to using standalone implementation. This
time instead of copying Broadcom's copy of cache-v7.S, we just make a
copy of the original file on our own. Unfortunately we can't cross-dir
compile cache-v7.S from ../../mm/ as that one also adds __INITDATA with
define_cache_functions v7 which would just trigger
> Error: unrecognized/unsupported machine ID (r1 = 0x0000007f).
The only real change Broadcom did in copied .S file was modifying mcr
instruction to use c6 instead of c14. It isn't clear to me if we really
need it, but let's use it for now.
By the way we also update commit message of the
[PATCH] ARM: BCM5301X: Disable MMU and Dcache during decompression
This makes kernel booting on BCM53573 successfully.
