kernel: bump kernel 4.4 to version 4.4.147
target/linux/ar71xx/patches-4.4/103-MIPS-ath79-fix-register-address-in-ath79_ddr_wb_flus.patch
has been applied upstream; the two deleted brcm2708 patches have been
useless even before (as the second one only reverted the first one).

Christian Lamparter aee5c53a8d apm821xx: fix sata access freezes
The original vendor's driver programmed the dma controller's
AHB HPROT values to enable bufferable, privileged mode. This
along with the "same priorty for both channels" fixes the
freezes according to @takimata, @And.short, that have been
reported on the forum by @ticerex.

Furtheremore, @takimata reported that the patch also improved
the performance of the HDDs considerably:
|<https://forum.lede-project.org/t/wd-mybook-live-duo-two-disks/16195/55>
|It seems your patch unleashed the full power of the SATA port.
|Where I was previously hitting a really hard limit at around
|82 MB/s for reading and 27 MB/s for writing, I am now getting this:
|
|root@OpenWrt:/mnt# time dd if=/dev/zero of=tempfile bs=1M count=1024
|1024+0 records in
|1024+0 records out
|real    0m 13.65s
|user    0m 0.01s
|sys     0m 11.89s
|
|root@OpenWrt:/mnt# time dd if=tempfile of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1024

|1024+0 records out
|real    0m 8.41s
|user    0m 0.01s
|sys     0m 4.70s
|
|This means: 121 MB/s reading and 75 MB/s writing!
|
|[...]
|
|The drive is a WD Green WD10EARX taken from an older MBL Single.
|I repeated the test a few times with even larger files to rule out
|any caching, I'm still seeing the same great performance. OpenWrt is
|now completely on par with the original MBL firmware's performance.

Christian Lamparter 49856a4bb5 apm821xx: make it possible to update the dtb partition on the WNDR4700
Currently, the device-tree partition is marked as read-only.
Hence, userspace tools like mtd can't write into the partition.
This however will be necessary in case the DTB needs to be
updated.

This patch also adds the kernel.dtb image, so the compiled
DTB is exported as a file and available in the binary
directory along the firmware images.

Note: the u-boot does expects the dtb to be a uimage.

To update the dtb manually:
 1. copy the generated dtb to the router.
 2. mtd erase /dev/mtd2
 3. mtd write wndr4700.dtb /dev/mtd2

Christian Lamparter 4fc48a8cf2 apm821xx: replace recovery image for the MBL with initramfs
The patch "images: bump default rootfs size to 256 MB"
a1f83bad60 caused a crash
during boot for the recovery images. This is because
both variants of the MyBook Live only have 256MB of RAM
and for the recovery option, the ext4 rootfs was simply
stored in the RAMDISK.

This patch replaces recovery image for the MBL with an
initramfs kernel.

In order to boot the initramfs (for recovery or development):

0. copy the initramfs and device tree into tftp's server directory
   # cp *-initramfs-kernel.bin to /tftp-server/mbl.bin
   # cp *-ext4-kernel.dtb to /tftp-server/fdt.bin

1. Connect the MyBook Live (Duo) serial port.
   (Warning! Use a 3.3v level shifter).

2. Hit Enter during u-boot and insert these three lines:
   # setenv serverip 192.168.1.254; setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1;
   # tftp ${kernel_addr_r} mbl.bin; tftp ${fdt_addr_r} fdt.bin
   # run addtty addmisc; bootm ${kernel_addr_r} - ${fdt_addr_r}

   Where 192.168.1.254 is your TFTP server.

Christian Lamparter 78e63ce7e3 apm821xx: add size check for initramfs kernel for the Meraki MR24
Russell Senior reported an issue with the MR24 initramfs kernels:
> ## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 00c10000 ...
>   Image Name:   POWERPC LEDE Linux-4.4.19
>   Created:      2016-08-31  11:57:05 UTC
>   Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
>   Data Size:    2155723 Bytes = 2.1 MiB
>   Load Address: 00000000
>   Entry Point:  00000000
>   Verifying Checksum ... OK
>Wrong Ramdisk Image Format
>Ramdisk image is corrupt or invalid

For the MR24, the kernel is uploaded to 0x10000. The ramdisk starts
at 0x200000. This leaves the kernel with just 0x1f0000 bytes = 1984kb.
This patch adds a size check so the image creation script will abort
instead of producing a unbootable initramfs image. A separate patch
"apm821xx: Fix initramfs image for the Meraki MR24" which fixed the
reported issue was submitted earlier.

Christian Lamparter 3f506bdbb0 apm821xx: fix atheros PCIe cards on the MR24
The consolidation of the MR24 and WNDR4700 subtargets
into the nand subtarget broke MR24's atheros wlan.
This was because the wndr4700's board code used a
pci_fixup routines to supply the ath9k module with
the calibration data.

This is not necessary on the MR24 as it has standard
mini-pcie ports. Hence the two AR9380 mini-pcie cards
do not need any calibration data overrides.

Christian Lamparter 08257a4053 apm821xx: use lzma compression for the initramfs images
The MR24's u-boot takes it sweet time decompressing the
LZMA-packed initramfs image. A user reported that
compared to the old gzip method in v2: it "takes a ton
longer to decompress like 4\x the old boot time for
decompression".

This patch also fixes a issue with the WNDR4700's initramfs
image getting to big and causing the following u-boot crash
during the decompression:

"Uncompressing Multi-File Image ... Error: inflate() returned -5
out-of-mem or overwrite error - must RESET board to recover"

This patch fixes both issues by reverting the MR24's initramfs
compression method back to gzip. And choosing to compress the
initramfs within the initramfs image as LZMA by default.

Christian Lamparter 9e0fd1b52a apm821xx: add support for the Netgear Centria N900 WNDR4700/WNDR4720
This patch adds support for Netgear Centria N900 WNDR4700/WNDR4720

hardware highlights:

	32 kB I-Cache 32 kB D-Cache, 256 kB L2-Cache, 32 kB OnChip Memory
Board:	AMCC APM82181 Evaluation Board, PCIE0/SATA1, 1*USB OTG
DRAM:	256 MB (ECC not enabled, 500 Mb/s, 32-bit, CL3)
NAND:	128 MiB (SLC, erase size: 128 KiB, page size: 2048, OOB size: 64)

I2C:	GMT G781 (i2c-0 @ 0x4d - lm90 compatible temperature sensor)
	TC654    (i2c-0 @ 0x1b - Dual PWM fan Speed controller)

WARNING: The serial port needs a TTL/RS-232 v3.3 level converter!

INFO: Since this device only has a NAND chip. I opted for going with
root.squashfs in a UBI volume. There's no squashfs/jffs2 image.

This target produces three images.
  a. netgear factory image
     This image can be used to flash the Netgear WNDR4700 via the
     firmware recovery mechanism and the web admin site.

     The bootloader can be instructed to do a firmware recovery via the
     # fw_recovery
     command. It will start a tftp server and listen on 192.168.1.1
     (the ipaddr variable in u-boot) for incoming, binary tftp clients.
     The firmware recovery mechanism is also started if any of the flash
     content which contains the kernel, device-tree definitions or the
     (fake)rootfs fails to verify or load.

  b. sysupgrade.tar image for sysupgrade
     An sysupgrade will replace the entire current LEDE installation
     with a newer version. This does include the kernel and the ubi rootfs
     partition. The configuration can be carried over automatically as well
     if desired.

     simply copy the sysupgrade.tar to a the WNDR4700 running LEDE and run:

     root@lede:~# sysupgrade sysupgrade.tar

     and let it reboot.

     Note: The devicetree flash area is NOT updated. Until the devicetree
	   definition is stable, this can lead to all sorts of hardware
	   detection problems! So make sure, if you experience issues: try
	   the fw_recovery. If you are unsure whenever this affects you:
	   test if you can reproduce your issue with the initramfs method.
	   As it will always have up-to-date device-tree definitions.

  c. initramfs image for TFTP (for development and testing)
     To use the initramfs method, follow the following steps:
       1) Move the "lede-apm821xx-netgear-WNDR4700-initramfs-kernel.bin"
	  file to to the root directory of your TFTP server.

       2) rename it to wndr4700.bin

       3) On the WNDR4700 - Hit Enter during u-boot and insert:
	  # tftp 400000 wndr4700.bin; run addtty; bootm 400000 -

     This will boot the LEDE image.

     Note: The default tftp server is 192.168.1.7, if you want to change it:
     # setenv serverip 192.168.8.7;

     Note2: The default address for the WNDR4700 is 192.168.1.1:
     # setenv ipaddr 192.168.8.8;

     Note: Connect you tftp server on the last LAN port (not the WAN)

Note: The firmware for the USB 3.0 Host chip is not included anymore.
Therefore the two USB 3.0 ports will not work without the
uPD7070x-firmware package installed.
