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

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.

Add a new kernel config option for generic firmware partition
split support and change the uImage split support to depend on
the new option. Aslo rename the MTD_UIMAGE_SPLIT_NAME option to
MTD_SPLIT_FIRMWARE_NAME to make it more generic.
The patch is in preparation for multiple firmware format
support.

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.

Separate OpenWrt specific MTD options from the mainline
option by moving those into a new submenu in the kernel

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.

The Linksys wrt310n v1 does not have a robo_reset config variable in
nvram, but GPIO Pin 8 is the pin needed for resetting the external
switch, Linksys hard coded it into their source code.
Thank you Devastator for testing.
