Thanks for all your suggestions. Updated patches attached have clear, simple headlines.

Not sure where it was missing, but the spacing looks self-consistent
with the current patches that follow.

Thanks for the insight -- it allowed me to use the proper SUPPORTED_DEVICES
to allow the OpenWrt build to be installed with the OEM-supplied LuCI

Great idea, done!

At some point I'd like to refactor out the duplication in the NOR flash layout,
but I haven't been successful yet with my DTS-fu in referencing
the compatible and label parameters within partition at 2 of the NOR flash,
as they are subtly different in the NAND variant.

Another day, perhaps once I get going with moving the AR750S NAND to ath79.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ath79: Add GL.iNet AR-300M-Lite

AR300M-Lite is single-Ethernet variant of the AR300M series
Its eth0 would otherwise be assigned to the WAN interface
making it unreachable firstboot or failsafe.

Installation instructions from OEM (OpenWrt variant):
* Install sysupgrade.bin using OEM's "Advanced" GUI (LuCI),
   * Do not preserve settings
* Access rebooted device via Ethernet at OpenWrt default address

Runtime-tested:  GL.iNet AR300M-Lite
