This patch updates the apm821xx target to use the 4.14 kernel.
4.14 finally ships with a driver for the WNDR4700's tc654 fan
controller. The custom driver is deprecated in favor of the
upstream driver and the thermal cooling definitions in the DTS
are updated.

This patch rename all the DT source files in order to
match upstream's "manufacturer-device.dts" format.
Please note that the DEVICE_DTB isn't changed. This is
because the u-boot of the MyBook Live defines the
fdt_file variable to be "apollo3g/apollo3g.dtb".

Meraki choose to use their product's codename as the main
compatible string. Mathias Kresin commented that this is
a poor choice as this will confuse the users and devs once
the device-tree compatible is used for board-detection and
possible the image name.

This patch appends the "apm,bluestone" or "amcc,apollo3g"
machine compatible string to the current device tree source.
Please note that unlike other archs the PPC DT code does
not regard the machine's compatible string as a priority
list. This is explained in the kernel's usage-model.txt as follows:
"PowerPC uses a slightly different scheme where it calls the .probe()
hook from each machine_desc, and the first one returning TRUE is used.
However, this approach does not take into account the priority of the
compatible list, and probably should be avoided for new architecture
support."
For this reason, the "apm,bluestone" compatible string can't be
added to the WNDR4700. As otherwise the target specific pci
fix-up code will get ignored and this causes the ath9k WIFI
to not get initialized.

Please note that users with a Netgear WNDR4700
will need to update the device-tree partition
manually.
For instructions, please refere to commit 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

This patch moves the common SoC device tree entries
from the currently four supported platforms into a
common apm82181.dtsi.
Furthermore, this patch also changes the GPIO, IRQ and
input definitions of the supported platforms to use the
defined dt-bindings macros for GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW|HIGH,
KEY_WPS|RESTART|*, IRQ_TYPE_* when it's appropriate.

The insertion or removal of the sd-card cannot be detected
by the hardware itself. This is by design. To workaround this,
for the WNDR4700 unload/load the dwc2 module in case the
the special SD CARD GPIO line is low/high.

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.

WARNING: The serial port needs a TTL/RS-232 v3.3 level converter!
The MyBook Live Duo additionally features a 1x USB 2.0 host port
and can support a second hard-drive.
This target produces two images for a target.
1. ext4 image
The extracted/raw image can be directly installed on
the internal HDD via "dd if=img.ext4 of=/dev/sdX".
This can either be done in place with the stock MyBook Live
firmware via ssh. Or by removing the HDD and writing the image
with a different PC.
The the compressed images are useful for sysupgrade.
2. recovery.tar image for TFTP and Serial.
extract the recovery.tar to a TFTP server directory.
On the MyBook Live (Duo) serial port - Hit Enter during u-boot and insert:
# setenv serverip 192.168.1.254; setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1; run net_self
Where 192.168.1.254 is your TFTP server.
