It has been shown that the Fritz boxes have the correct mac address set
in the wireless calibration data/eeeprom. Use this mac address as base
for the ethernet and xdsl interface increment/decrement the address to
match the values stored in the tffs.

The firmware hotplug script tries to read the mac address from a
partition with the name "uboot-env" which does not exist (instead it's
name is uboot_env). This broke calculation of the new checksum (after
patching the mac address) which resulted in ath9k refusing to use the
EEPROM data.
The original error reported by ath9k was:
PCI: Enabling device 0000:00:0e.0 (0000 -> 0002)
ath: phy0: Bad EEPROM checksum 0x2523
ath: phy0: Unable to initialize hardware; initialization status: -22
ath9k 0000:00:0e.0: Failed to initialize device

Add an extra function to patch the mac and fixup the checksum
afterwards. Calculate the checksum position automatically. The offset
to the mac address is the same for all checksum protected EEPROMs.
No EEPROM requires a byte swapped mac address. The mac byte swap code
was required due to an bug in the script that is now fixed.

The EEPROM data in the flash of the ARV7518PW, ARV8539PW22,
BTHOMEHUBV2B and BTHOMEHUBV3A is stored byte-swapped (swab16), meaning
that for example the ath9k base_eep_header fields "version" (high and
low byte), "opCapFlags" and "eepMisc" are swapped (the latter ones are
just 1 byte wide, thus their position is swapped).
The old "ath,eep-endian" property enabled the corresponding swapping
logic in the ath9k driver (swab16 in ath9k_hw_nvram_swap_data, which is
based on the magic bytes in the EEPROM data which have nothing to do
with the calibration data - thus this logic should not be used
anymore).
Since we have switched to the upstream ath9k devicetree bindings there
is no binding anymore which enables swab16 in ath9k (as this logic is
not recommended anymore as explained above), leading to ath9k
initialization errors:
ath: phy0: Bad EEPROM VER 0x0001 or REV 0x00e0
(this shows that the version field is swapped, expected values are VER
0x000E and REV 0x0001)
Swapping the ath9k calibration data when extracting it from the flash
fixes the devices listed above (all other devices do not require
additional swapping, since the position of the fields is already as
expected by ath9k). This allows ath9k to read the version correctly
again, as well as the more important "eepmisc" field (which is used for
determining whether the data inside the EEPROM is Big or Little Endian
which is required to parse the EEPROM contents correctly).

This way the on nand bad block table is preserved and used. Add support
for nand OOB ECC checksums as well. It should fix all reported ubi
errors, which were all related to bad nand blocks and a purged on nand
bad block table.
The existing ubi partition will be reused, which eliminates the need
to touch the caldata during initial install. The BT u-boot has support
for loading a kernel from an ubi volume. It isn't necessary any longer
to replace the BT u-boot with a custom compiled one to use LEDE.
It is required to restore the BT Firmware and install LEDE from scratch
to switch to the new partition layout.
An image for restoring the BT firmware and installing LEDE is provided
at https://github.com/mkresin/lede/releases.

This moves the extraction of the eeprom/calibration data to a hotplug
firmware script. Additionally it modifies all .dts to configure ath9k
directly from within the .dts.
The owl-loader approach enables support on devices with exotic eeprom
data locations (such as unaligned positions on the flash or data
inside an UBI volume).
