ath79: GL-AR750S: provide NAND support; increase kernel to 4 MB
The GL.iNet GL-AR750S has been supported by the ar71xx and ath79 platforms with access to its 16 MB NOR flash, but not its 128 MB SPI NAND flash. This commit provides support for the NAND through the upstream SPI-NAND framework. At this time, the OEM U-Boot appears to only support loading the kernel from NOR. This configuration is preserved as this time, with the glinet,gl-ar750s-nand name reserved for a potential, future, NAND-only boot. The family of GL-AR750S devices on the ath79 platform now includes: * glinet,gl-ar750m-nor-nand "nand" target * glinet,gl-ar750m-nor "nand" target (NAND-aware) NB: This commit increases the kernel size from 2 MB to 4 MB "Force-less" sysupgrade is presently supported from the current versions of following NOR-based firmwre images to the version of glinet,gl-ar750s-nor firmware produced by this commit: * glinet,gl-ar750s -- OpenWrt 19.07 ar71xx * glinet,gl-ar750s -- OpenWrt 19.07 ath79 Users who have sucessfully upgraded to glinet,gl-ar750m-nor may then flash glinet,gl-ar750m-nor-nand with sysupgrade to transtion to the NAND-based variant. Other upgrades to these images, including directly to the NAND-based glinet,gl-ar750s-nor-nand firmware, can be accomplished through U-Boot. NB: See "ath79: restrict GL-AR750S kernel build-size to 2 MB" which enables flashing of NAND factory.img with the current GL-iNet U-Boot, "U-Boot 1.1.4-gcf378d80-dirty (Aug 16 2018 - 07:51:15)" The GL-AR750S OEM U-Boot allows upload and flashing of either NOR firmware (sysupgrade.bin) or NAND firmware (factory.img) through its HTTP-based GUI. Serial connectivity is not required. The glinet,gl-ar750s-nor and glinet,gl-ar750s-nor-nand images generated after this commit flash each other directly. This commit changes the control of the USB VBUS to gpio-hog from regulator-fixed introduced by commit 0f6b944c92. This reduces the compressed kernel size by ~14 kB, with no apparent loss of functionality. No other ath79-nand boards are using regulator-fixed at this time. Note: mtd_get_mac_binary art 0x5006 does not return the proper MAC and the GL.iNet source indicates that only the 0x0 offset is valid The ar71xx targets are unmodified.
