2 Step plan to add Linksys MR6350 support

[Heppler, J. Scott]

My EA7300v2 went catatonic and it lead to a look at currently available
factory recertified devices that have OpenWRT builds.  Old, new stock
EA7300v2 have tripled in price.  I came across and bought a Linksys
MR6350 which is characterized as an MR8300 minus one 5Ghz radio and
two antennas and stuffed into a legacy case. Significant infrastructure
is already in place and two contributors and a helpful forum thread
exist.  Both forum contributors has written that they do not plan to
pursue further work.

I've put together a plan to submit to master and wanted to run it by the
senior developers.  I suspect I can use the install method for the
MR8300 using the legacy 22.03 MR8300 factory image to gain access,
increase the kernel partition size, then flash the MR6350 factory image.

First, a patch for the EA6350v3, EA8300, MR8300, WH03 common
infrastructure that adds the MR6350 followed by a patch specific to the
MR6350 itself.  To generate the second patch, essentially duplicate the
MR8300 and strip out the 2nd 5Ghz and remove the channel limitations for
the 1st 5Ghz radio.  I would wait for the 1st patch to be committed to
master. Then  update, build/test the MR6350 and if it flies, submit for
review.

Comments?
