6e283cdc0d ramips: add Xiaomi Mi Router 3G support
This commit adds support for Xiaomi Mi WiFi Router 3G.

Short specification:
 - MT7621AT + MT7603EN + 7612EN
 - 256MB DDR3 RAM
 - 128MB NAND flash
 - 1+2 x 1000M Ethernet
 - 1x USB 3.0 port
 - reset button
 - yellow, blue, red leds

Installation through telnet/ssh:
- copy lede-ramips-mt7621-mir3g-squashfs-kernel1.bin and
lede-ramips-mt7621-mir3g-squashfs-rootfs0.bin to usb disk or wget it
from LEDE download site to /tmp
- switch to /extdisks/sda1/ (if copied to USB drive) or to /tmp if
wgetted from LEDE download site
- run: mtd write lede-ramips-mt7621-mir3g-squashfs-kernel1.bin kernel1
- run: mtd write lede-ramips-mt7621-mir3g-squashfs-rootfs0.bin rootfs0
- run: mtd erase kernel0
- run: reboot

Originally stock firmware has following partitions:
 - ...
 - kernel0 (primary kernel image)
 - kernel1 (secondary kernel image, used by u-boot in failsafe routine)
 - rootfs0 (primary rootfs)
 - rootfs1 (secondary rootfs in case primary fails)
 - overlay (used as ubi overlay)

This commit squashes rootfs0, rootfs1 and overlay partitions into 1, so
it can be used by LEDE fully for package installation, resulting in 117,5MiB.

This device lacks hw watchdog, so adding softdog instead (stock does the same).

1780d40f2b ramips: cleanup EX2700 and WN3000RPv3 LEDs
This patch cleans up the WN3000RPv3 and EX2700 setup, bringing it in line
with other similar devices:

The power led is a bicolor one. The bootloader brings the red side on at
powerup.

Instead of blinking the red side in diag.sh and need to forcefully turn it off
in 01_leds, this patch simplifies the setup by relying on the default off state
of the gpio-led driver for the red side and blinking the green side as with
other devices.

bb4d5006c0 ramips: fix PCI init on MT7620 with Linux 4.9+
So, this is kind of complicated. This has been upstream for a while,
imported from OpenWRT/LEDE with some cleanups. LEDE ramips has stayed
on linux-4.4 this whole time, with the old(er) version of the patch
that had correct behavior[0], while upstream got changed[1].

When LEDE updated to kernel 4.9, the older version of the code from
the patch got replaced with the upstream version containing the bug.

The original behavior, however, seems to be correct here, as the
official programming guide[2] indicates that bit 31 (PDRV_SW_SET)
in register PPLL_CFG1 is reserved, but bit 23 (added as PPLL_LD)
is the PPLL lock state (which also happens to line up with the
error message).

The original confusion probably comes from the double definition
of PDRV_SW_SET[3, 4] in the upstream code, with one correct definition
(31) and one incorrect one (23).

I've also used the opportunity to clean up the error message a bit -
it's still not really helpful to anyone who doesn't already know what
the PPLL is, but at least it's slightly more readable now.

This will probably need to be upstreamed as well, since with the way
it's currently set up, it's unlikely PCI ever worked for anyone who's
running an upstream kernel on that SoC.

a92c64e8ae ramips: add support for Loewe WMDR-143N
The WMDR-143N is a small module originally used as a Wifi client
in some Loewe smart TV sets. It is sold cheaply at german surplus
shops. The module contains a RT3662 SOC.

Specifications:

- 500 MHz CPU Clock
- 1x 10/100Mbps Ethernet (pin header)
- 32 MB of RAM
- 8 MB of FLASH
- 2T3R 2.4/5 GHz (SOC internal)
- 3 Antennas on PCB
- UART pads on PCB (J3: 1 = +3.3V, 2 = RX, 3 = TX, 4 = GND), TX
  and RX are 3,3V only! The square hole is pin 1
- Power supply pads on PCB (J6: 1 and 2 = +5V, 3 and 4 = GND)
  The square hole is pin 1

The original firmware has two identical kernel/rootfs images and
two "Factory" calibration data blocks in flash. The LEDE image
leaves only the first "Factory" block in place and uses both
"Kernel" blocks and the redundant "Factory" block together to gain
enough space for the jffs2 partition.

Flash instructions:

You need UART and Ethernet connections to flash the board. Use
the LEDE "sysupgrade.bin" image with tftp.

Apply power to the board and in the first 5 seconds, hit 2 to
select TFTP upload. The bootloader asks for board- and server IP
addresses and filename.

Alternate method: With the vendor firmware running, assign an IP
address to the ethernet port, tftp the firmware image to
/tmp and write to mtd4 ("KernelA").

It uses one MT7615D radio chip with DBDC mode enabled. This mode allows
this single chip act as an 2x2 11n radio and an 2x2 11ac radio at the
same time. However mt76 doesn't  support it currently so there is no
wireless available.

Specification:
- SoC: MediaTek MT7621AT
- Flash: 16 MB
- RAM: 128 MB
- Ethernet: 1 x WAN (10/100/1000Mbps) and 4 x LAN (10/100/1000 Mbps)
- Wireless radio: MT7615D on PCIE0
- UART: 1 x UART on PCB - 57600 8N1

Issue:
- Wireless radio doesn't work due to the lack of driver.

Flash instruction:
Using UART:
1. Configure PC with a static IP address and setup an TFTP server.
2. Put the firmware into the tftp directory.
3. Connect the UART line as described on the PCB.
4. Power up the device and press 2,then follow the instruction to
   set device and tftp server IP address and input the firmware
   file name.U-boot will then load the firmware and write it into
   the flash.

ramips: simplify ubnt-erx-sfp device definition
Most of the ubnt-erx definition can be reused; the package removals in
DEVICE_PACKAGES have become redundant after d17cb4a68a "ramips: purge
default packages on MT7621".

24043a0d2e ramips: add support for TP-Link TL-WR840N v4 and TL-WR841N v13
TP-Link TL-WR840N v4 and TL-WR841N v13 are simple N300 routers with
5-port FE switch and non-detachable antennas. Both are very similar
and are based on MediaTek MT7628NN (aka MT7628N) WiSoC.

The difference between these two models is in number of available
LEDs, buttons and power input switch.

This work is partially based on GitHub PR#974.

Specification:

- MT7628N/N (580 MHz)
- 64 MB of RAM (DDR2)
- 8 MB of FLASH
- 2T2R 2.4 GHz
- 5x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
- 2x external, non-detachable antennas
- UART (J1) header on PCB (115200 8n1)
- TL-WR840N v4: 5x LED (GPIO-controlled), 1x button
- TL-WR841N v13: 8x LED (GPIO-controlled*), 2x button, power input
  switch

* WAN LED in TL-WR841N v13 is a dual-color, dual-leads type which isn't
  (fully) supported by gpio-leds driver. This type of LED requires both
  GPIOs state change at the same time to select color or turn it off.
  For now, we support/use only the green part of the LED.

Factory image notes:

These devices use version 3 of TP-Link header, fortunately without RSA
signature (at least in case of devices sold in Europe). The difference
lays in the requirement for a non-zero value in "Additional Hardware
Version" field. Ideally, it should match the value stored in vendor
firmware header on device ("0x4"/"0x13" for these devices) but it seems
that anything other than "0" is correct.

We are able to prepare factory firwmare file which is accepted and
(almost) correctly flashed from the vendor GUI. As it turned out, it
accepts files without U-Boot image with second header at the beginning
but due to some kind of bug in upgrade routine, flashed image gets
corrupted before it's written to flash.

Tests showed that the GUI upgrade routine copies value of "Additional
Hardware Version" from existing firmware into offset "0x2023c" in
provided file, _before_ storing it in flash. In case of vendor firmware
upgrade files (which all include U-Boot image and two headers), this
offset points to the matching field in kernel+rootfs firmware part
header. Unfortunately, in case of LEDE factory image file which contains
only one header, it points to the offset "0x2023c" in kernel image. This
leads to a corrupted kernel and ends up with a "soft-bricked" device.

The good news is that U-Boot in these devices contains well known tftp
recovery mode, which can be triggered with "reset" button. What's more,
in comparison to some of older MediaTek based TP-Link devices, this
recovery mode doesn't write whole file at offset "0x0" in flash, without
verifying provided file in advance. In case of recovery mode in these
devices, first "0x20000" bytes are always skipped and "0x7a0000" bytes
from rest of the file are stored in flash at offset "0x20000".

Flash instruction:

Until (if at all) TP-Link fixes described problem, the only way to flash
LEDE image in these devices is to use tftp recovery mode in U-Boot:

1. Configure PC with static IP 192.168.0.66/24 and tftp server.
2. Rename "lede-ramips-mt7628-tl-wr84...-squashfs-tftp-recovery.bin"
   to "tp_recovery.bin" and place it in tftp server directory.
3. Connect PC with one of LAN ports, press the reset button, power up
   the router and keep button pressed for around 6-7 seconds, until
   device starts downloading the file.
4. Router will download file from server, write it to flash and reboot.

To access U-Boot CLI, keep pressed "4" key during boot.
