This patch uses the SOC variable to calculate DTS names automatically
based on the SOC and the device definition node name.
This reduces redundancy and (by having to choose DTS name
appropriately) will unify the naming of a device in different places
(image/Makefile, DTS name, compatible, image name). This is supposed
to make life easier for developers and reviewers.
Since the kernel uses a "soc-device.dts" scheme for this target, we
use this for the derivation of DEVICE_DTS, too, and rename the files
not having followed it so far.
Note that for some devices the kernel itself is inconsistent, leaving
us with a manual overwrite for ap.dk01.1-c1 and ap.dk04.1-c1.

This commit adds support for the 32MB storage/512MB RAM version of the U4019
IPQ4019-based board from Unielec. The board has the following specifications:
* Qualcomm IPQ4019 (running at 717MHz)
* 512MB DDR3 RAM (optional 256MB/1GB)
* 32MB SPI NOR (optional 8/16MB or NAND)
* Five gigabit ports (Qualcomm QCA8075)
* 1x 2.4 GHz wifi (QCA4019 hw1.0)
* 1x 5 Ghz wifi (QCA4019 hw1.0)
* 1x mini-PCIe slot (only USB-pins connected)
* 1x SIM slot (mini-SIM)
* 1x USB2.0 port
* 1x button
* 1x controllable LED
* 1x micro SD-card reader
Working:
* Ethernet
* Wifi
* USB-port
* mini-PCIe slot + SIM slot
* Button
* Sysupgrade
Not working:
* SD card slot (no upstream support)
Installation instructions:
In order to install OpenWRT on the U4019, you need to go via the
initramfs-image. The installation steps are as follows:
* Connect to board via serial (header exposed and clearly marked).
* Interrupt bootloader by pressing a button.
* Copy the initramfs-image to your tftp folder, call the file C0A80079.img.
* Give the network interface connected to the U4019 the address
192.168.0.156/24.
* Start your tftp-server and run tftpboot on the board.
* Run bootm when the file has been transferred, to boot OpenWRT.
* Once OpenWRT has booted, copy the sysupgrade-image to the device and run
sysupgrade to install OpenWRT on the U4019.
Notes:
- Since IPQ4019 has been moved to 4.19, I have not added support for kernel
4.14.
- There is a bug with hardware encryption on IPQ4019, causing poor performance
with TCP and ipsec (see for example FS#2355). In order to improve performance,
I have disabled hardware encryption in the DTS. We can enable hw. enc. once/if
bug is fixed.
- In order for Ethernet to work, the phy has to be reset by setting gpio 47
low/high. Adding support for phy reset via gpio required patching the
mdio-driver, and the code added comes from the vendor driver. I do not know if
patching the driver is an acceptable approach or not.
v1->v2:
* Do not use wildcard as identifier in the board.d-scripts (thanks
Adrian Schmutzler).
