This router is similar to the C2600. Ethernet on WAN + LAN, switch,
sysupgrade, LEDs, buttons and WiFi on 2G + 5G do work. The xDSL modem
and the POTS/DECT interface are not supported yet.
It is not possible to flash LEDE via the TP-Link webinterface. The
image need to be signed. The first 0x200 bytes of the image is the
TP-Link header including the signature. The signature is not validated
by the bootloader. The LEDE image is zeroed in this area.
To install LEDE it is necessary to solder a four pin header to JP2.
Connect a serial interface to this header and interrupt the autostart
of kernel. Transfer the sysupgrade image via TFTP and write it to the
serial flash at 0x320000.

Storage: 4MiB serial Flash, 3.9GiB MMC
NIC: 2x1GBit/s, Switch with 5 external and 2 internal ports
WiFi: Dualband, ath10k 2.4GHz, 5GHz MU-MIMO
For installation copy xx-mmcblk0p4-kernel.bin and xx-mmcblk0p5-rootfs-full.bin
to device. Then run:
cat xx-mmcblk0p4-kernel.bin > /dev/mmc0blk0p4
cat xx-mmcblk0p5-rootfs-full.bin > /dev/mmc0blk0p5
reboot -f
For debugging serial console is easily visible on board, no soldering needed.

The R7800 is an IPQ8065, so rename its dts file to reflect that fact.
Also fold the R7500v2 dts addition into the existing 800-devicetree.patch.

Now that the "sysupgrade-nand" step is used by non-NAND targets as well,
rename it to "sysupgrade-tar" to make it more generic.

It is used by a core build template, so the variable should be

1)Changes
- Rebased the patches for linux-4.4.7
- Added patch to fix spi nor fifo and dma support
- Added patch to configure watchdog barktime
2)Testing
Tested on IPQ AP148 Board:
a. NOR boot and NAND boot
b. ethernet network and ath10k wifi
c. ubi sysupgrade
UnTested
dwc3 usb has not been validated on IPQ board(AP148)
3)Known Issues:
Once we flash ubi image on AP148, and if we reset the board, uboot on
first boot creates PEB and LEB for dynamic sized partitions, which is incorrect
and not what linux expects which causes errors when trying to mount rootfs.
In order to test this, we can use the below steps:
a. Flash the ubi image on board and don't reset the board
b. load the kernel fit image in RAM and boot from there.

the board names used by the upgrade check differ from the device names
in case, so always set them. We can't rely on tolower or similar since
different locales might have different rules for lower case letters, so
set them explicitily.
Fixes sysupgrade rejecting *-sysupgrade.tar because of the difference.

Certain AP148 platforms (and derivative) use bootloaders which did not
have DT enabled.
In order to support these old platforms, we'll now make the following
modifications:
*explicitely add the memory node in the AP148 DT: this used to be added
by new u-boot through a run-time patch mechanism. We'll now add it
explicitely so it works on boots which don't support that feature. New
boots will have the node twice, the second one will be ignored.
*add the zImage generation next to the FIT image for AP148.
Other platforms using non-DT enabled bootloaders may want to leverage
this zImage code to generate their own firmare as well.

Patches in the ipq806x/patches folder were out of tree in v3.14. The
newest patch at the time was from June, so we can safely assume that
either the patches have been merged, or they have been rejected for
a good reason. If patches are seen missing, we'll cherry-pick them
on a per-needed basis.
This new kernel have been tested on AP148, which seems to works fine.

Patches are generated using the "format-patch" command from the
following location:

Patches numbered 76/77/102/103 have already been integrated in 3.14.12,
so they're not in this list.
All these patches are either integrated are pending integration into
kernel.org, therefore these patches should go away once the kernel
gets upgraded to 3.16.
Support is currently limited to AP148 board but can be extended to other
platforms in the future.
These changes do not cover ethernet connectivity.
