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

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.

README

This is the buildsystem for the LEDE Linux distribution.

Please use "make menuconfig" to choose your preferred
configuration for the toolchain and firmware.

You need to have installed gcc, binutils, bzip2, flex, python, perl, make,
find, grep, diff, unzip, gawk, getopt, subversion, libz-dev and libc headers.

Run "./scripts/feeds update -a" to get all the latest package definitions
defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default respectively
and "./scripts/feeds install -a" to install symlinks of all of them into
package/feeds/.

Use "make menuconfig" to configure your image.

Simply running "make" will build your firmware.
It will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain, 
the kernel and all choosen applications.

To build your own firmware you need to have access to a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system
(case-sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin will not be supported because of
the lack of case sensitiveness in the file system.
