This patch adds support for Huawei E970 wireless gateway devices.
It has been tested on an E970 labelled as T-Mobile web'n'walk Box IV.
E960/B970 should work too, from what I know it's basically the same hardware.
The device has a Broadcom BCM5354 SoC and a built-in 3G USB modem.
It uses a hardware watchdog which needs GPIO-7 to be toggled at least
every 1-2 seconds. This patch uses gpio_wdt module (see my previous
patch today) to take care of this.
Tested and works: 3G wan, wlan+LED, VLAN config, failsafe using reset
button, image to be used for upgrade from OEM firmware's web interface
Link to the wiki page I've created: <http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/huawei/e970>
Issue:
* lzma-loader crashes, so gzipped kernel is used. Presumably due to watchdog
reset during kernel decompress.

A new type of partition with magic FCTY was found on Huawei E970:
46 43 54 59 4b 51 37 4e 41 42 31 38 41 32 39 30 |FCTYKQ7NAB18A290|

This is important patch for new devices that support unaligned
addressing. That devices suffer from the backward-compatibility bug in
DMA engine. In theory we should be able to use old mechanism, but in
practice DMA address seems to be randomly copied into status register
when hardware reaches end of a ring. This breaks reading slot number
from status register and we can't use DMA anymore.

Without this patch it is impossible to read et_swtype, because the 1
byte space is needed for the terminating null byte. Now it should be
possible to read decimal and hex vars of max 8 bit.

Most of the bcm47xx devices use TRX format for storing kernel and some
partition like Squashfs or JFFS2. This is pretty flexible solution, CFE
(the bootloader) just writes (and later boots) TRX at some hardcoded
place and paritions can vary in the size.
However some devices don't use TRX format. Very recently we have
discovered ZTE H218N that has kernel and rootfs partitions at some
"random" places.
This patch allows Linux find a rootfs partition after installing custom
image with a CFE bootloader.

* Use different structs depending on the number of nvram variables to check.
* Add detection of ZTE H218N, this closes#14151.

Some devices (BCM4749, BCM5357, BCM53572) have internal switch that
requires initialization. We already have code for this, but because
of the typo in code it was never working. This resulted in network not
working for some routers and possibility of soft-bricking them.
Use correct bit for switch initialization and fix typo in the define.

This patch adds board detection for the Linksys E1000 V2.1 router, as well
as GPIO support for same.
This fixes bug #14135. Currently, wired networking isn't working on the
router, and I haven't tried the wireless, but with this patch, OpenWRT
successfully boots, and all the LEDs and buttons work properly.

This uses a new switch driver.
The old ADMTEK Adm6996 switch is not supported any more.

This is untested, but probably needed to make it work with the phy lib switch driver.

This makes it possible to use swconfig to controll the switch.
This was tested with devices using b43 and bgmac.
This was not tested on devices using tg3.
This does not support the adm switch used in some very old devices.
SVN-Revision: 37304
This fixes some problems with the switch handling
* It now send the messages again to indicate a button for failsafe mode should be pressed
* it does not leak packages between wan and lan any more
* the switch works again in normal mode
The Ethernet connection has to be up when the switch driver switch-robo
is insmoded therefor we just do it again.
Explicitly set enable_vlan to prevent leaking packages.
This should close#13869, #13868 and #13716

In order to support both normal images and initramfs, ensure that each
target sets KERNELNAME properly so that the generic kernel building code
can copy the corresponding files over $(KDIR) with the appropriate
extension. Update the various paths to the kernel and wrapper images
from $(LINUX_DIR)/arch/$(ARCH)/boot/$(foo) to $(KDIR)/$(foo).
