From: Sven Danner <Sven314 at gmx.net>
 
Comfast CF-E538AC is a wall mounted access point with an additional
Ethernet LAN access port. It supports 802.11AC Wave2 MU-MIMO.
 
Serial port access for debricking requires simple soldering of 4 pins.
 
Device specifications:
* SoC: MT7620DA @ 580MHz
* RAM: 64MiB DDR2
* Flash: 8iB SPI
* Wireless 2.4GHz (SoC): b/g/n
* Wireless 5Ghz (MT7612E): n/ac, 2x2 MU-MINO
* Ethernet connection back (RTL8211F - port 4): 1× 1GbE, 802.3af PoE
* Ethernet connection front (RTL8211F - port 5): 1× 1GbE
 
Flashing instructions:
* Upgrade using stock web interface's update feature
 
Debricking:
* Serial port can be soldered on top PCB (marked as 1)
  (1: VCC, 2: GND, 3: TX, 4: RX)
    * Use 3.3V, 115200 baud, 8N1
* Recovery only possible via TFTP
* Modified U-Boot environment does not allow recovery via serial
  data transfer (will not commit it to flash)
* Bootloader will show a menu for 1 seconds
* Select 2: Load system code then write to Flash via TFTP.

This is my third submission.
I hope I have successfully incorporated any feedback
that I have received and am following the right format.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
 
A couple of notes:
This speed (which 47 of 68 mt7620a devices use) comes straight
from the stock firmware's DTS file:
 spi-max-frequency = <10000000>;
At this point I rather not increase it unless necessary.
 
This line was suggested to be dropped, but every device
in /target/linux/ramips/image/mt7620.mk
is defining that as well:
+  SUPPORTED_DEVICES += cf-e538ac
I have left it in for this submission.

I have still defined LED white:wifi so it will
appear in LuCI for users
as the device drivers seem to automatically
create 4 LEDs in /sys/class/leds
that are not physically connected:

mt76-phy0
rt2800soc-phy1::quality
rt2800soc-phy1::assoc
rt2800soc-phy1::radio
 
I appreciate all feedback, please be kind and assume
honest mistakes not maliciousness.
