[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH 0/7] ipq806x: add support for Netgear Nighthawk X4 R7500

[Jonas Gorski]

This patchset adds support for the Netgear Nighthawk X4 R7500.

This patchset depends on patches 1 to 8 from "ipq806x: implement
sysupgrade for AP148".

Most things are working, except for the following:

* One of the usb ports is non functional. This is also the case on AP148,
  so likely driver related.
* 5 GHz wifi is not available. This uses a Quantenna wifi for 5 GHz, for
  which there is no driver in mainline linux or OpenWrt.

What does work is:

* Flashing from original webui using the factory image
* Sysupgrading from within OpenWrt.
* Using the 2.4 GHz wifi.
* Using the working usb port.

Untested is:

* Using the esata port.

Special shout-out to Delta Networks for thinking having both kernel and
a squashfs rootfs raw on NAND flash is a good idea, without *any* wear
leveling or even working bad block handling.

Luckily we can make u-boot think the rootfs has a length of 0, so it's
only the kernel that is affected.



Jonas Gorski (7):
  ar71xx: rename NETGEAR_ variables to their netgear names
  image: move netgear-image to top and rename to -dni
  image: allow exactly KERNEL_SIZE sized kernels
  ipq806x: add support for retrieving macs from mtd
  base-files: allow setting ide-disk led trigger
  ipq806x: enable ide led trigger
  ipq806x: add support for Netgear Nighthawk X4 R7500
