Daniel González Cabanelas ff2c96333f bcm63xx: add support for the Sercomm H500-s
Sercomm H500-s is an xDSL dual band wireless router based on Broadcom
BCM63167 SoC.

Hardware:
   SoC:          Broadcom BCM63167
   CPU:          BMIPS4350 V8.0, 400 MHz, 2 cores
   Flash:        NAND 128 MiB
   RAM:          DDR3 128 MiB
   Ethernet:     4x 10/100/1000 Mbps
   Switch:       BCM53134S
   Wireless:     802.11b/g/n: BCM435f (integrated)
                 802.11ac:    Quantenna QT3740BC (onboard SoC)
   USB:          1x 2.0
   LEDs/Buttons: 11x / 2x

Flash instruction, web UI:
  1. Reset to defaults using the reset button if the admin password is
     unknown
  2. Login into the web UI as admin.
     Address:  http://192.168.0.1
     User:     admin
     Password: VF-ESVodafone-H-500-s or l033i-h500s
  3. Go to Settings -> Firmware Update, and select the Openwrt factory
     firmware
  4. Update the firmware.
  5. Wait until it finish, the device will reboot with Openwrt installed
     on the alternative image partitions keeping the stock firmware in
     the former.

Notes:
  - The patch also adds support for the lowi version. Only the factory
    firmware is different.
  - The integrated Wifi in the Broadcom Soc isn't still supported.
  - The Quantenna 802.11ac wifi works ok, but needs to be configured with
    the Quantenna client application. It can't be configured with Luci
    nor any iw command since it's a separated subsystem linked via
    ethernet.
  - The BCM53134S external switch is managed via MDIO which isn't
    supported in this target. Therefore it will behave as a dumb switch.

The image neede to flash onto a Broadcom 63xx-series board depends on the
board, method you are using to flash, and, for web-based flash, on the version
of the Broadcom code your router uses.

There are two major revisions of the Broadcom code as far as imagetags are
concerned, before 3.08 and after 3.08, however there are some variations 
within in that, either due to vendor differences or due to changes at 
Broadcom (it's not clear yet which is the case).  In addtion Pirelli modified
the Broadcom code, so Alice Gate models use a different imagetag than any 
other vendor.

The imagetag format for flashing via CFE is the same for almost all the 
boards, and is the same for all images generated by the imagetag utility.
Images flashable using cfe are labelled openwrt-<board>-<filesystem>-cfe.bin

The imagetags for tftp/ftp flashing is based on Broadcom 3.00-3.04 imagetags
and is known to be correct as the source code GPL and is available for reading.

Broadcom code 2.21 is based on the BT Voyager firmware image I looked at.  It
may in fact be BT Voyager-specific.  2.21 is actually more difficult to deal
with the imagetag from 3.00 as it has three different CRC calculations in
addtition to the header CRC.

Broadcom 3.00-3.02 flashing has been tested on Comtrend CT-5261, CT-536 and 
Tecom GW6000, and is the version of the flashing that was present before the
imagetags were split by broadcom code version (early June 2009)

3.04 is guessed to be the same as 3.00-3.02 based on available information

Broadom 3.06 is thought to be the same as 3.00-3.02, however the only 3.06 
this author (Daniel Dickinson) has seen is the Alice Gate (Pirelli) firmware
which is known to be different due to vendor (Pirelli) modifications to the
Broadcom code.

Broadcom 3.10 uses an imagetag that is believed to apply to all 3.10 and 3.12
versions, and has been tested on the Tecom GW6200.  This version introdec changes to
the imagetag to deal with TR69 (a remote rouer management system developed by the
DSL forum).  There is a field for vendor-specific information, that at least in some
cases is not optional.  It is based on the hexedit of a neufbox4 firmware image, the
information in https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/4987, and the hexedit of a Tecom
GW6200 image.

Some boards share the same tag format, but require vendor-specific fields in
the board.  In that case the tagid is shared, but the filename of the generated
image reflects the router for which the image was created.
