* kernel: kmod-input-polldev: Depend on kernel 5.10Hauke Mehrtens2022-08-101-2/+2
| | | | | | | The input-polldev.ko kernel module was removed from kernel 5.11. The normal input implementation now supports polling. Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de>
* kernel: kmod-iio-sps30: Add I2C driverHauke Mehrtens2022-08-101-3/+7
| | | | | | | | The sps30.ko driver was split into a main sps30.ko driver and a sps30_i2c.ko driver for the I2C interface with kernel 5.14. Add the sps30_i2c.ko module to the package too. Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de>

| | | | | | | | | The rtc-pt7c4338.ko was never upstream under this name, the driver was removed from OpenWrt some years ago, remove the kmod-rtc-pt7c4338 package too. Fixes: 74d00a8c3849 ("kernel: split patches folder up into backport, pending and hack folders") Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de>
* kernel: kmod-wwan: Add packageHauke Mehrtens2022-08-102-6/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | This adds the kmod-wwan package. This provides the generic wwan driver core which is needed for some existing packages. Currently the drivers/net/wwan/wwan.ko driver is compiled into the kernel when one of the wwan module is activated, better build it as a kernel module.

| | | | | | | | | | The w1_ds2760.ko driver was merged into the ds2760_battery.ko driver. The driver was removed and this package was never build any more. This happened with kernel 4.19. Remove this unused package. Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de>
* kernel: kmod-net-rtl8192su: Remove packageHauke Mehrtens2022-08-102-32/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | The R8712U driver depends on cfg80211. cfg80211 is provided by mac80211 backports, we can not build any in kernel drivers which depend on cfg80211 which is an out of tree module in OpenWrt. The cfg80211 dependency was added with kernel 5.9. We could add rtl8192su to backports and build it from there. Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de>

* kernel: kmod-fs-fscache: Add cachefiles.koHauke Mehrtens2022-08-101-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | The CONFIG_CACHEFILES configuration option makes the kernel build cachefiles.ko, also package it. Build CONFIG_CACHEFILES as module and do not try to build it into the kernel. This did not work because it depended on CONFIG_FSCACHE which was already build as module. Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de>

* kernel: kmod-usb-dwc2-pci: Add new packageHauke Mehrtens2022-08-101-3/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add dwc2_pci kernel module into own kernel package. The dwc2_pci.ko kernel module was always build when kmod-usb-dwc2 was selected, but it was not packaged. Add the missing kmod-usb-phy-nop dependency to the kmod-usb-dwc2-pci package too. The CONFIG_USB_DWC2_PLATFORM option is already gone for some time. Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de>
* kernel: kmod-switch-ar8xxx: Add kmod-mdio-devres dependencyHauke Mehrtens2022-08-101-1/+1

* CI: kernel: Checkout feeds from githubHauke Mehrtens2022-08-101-0/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of cloning the feeds from the default location at git.openwrt.org use the github action to clone them directly from github. We saw some error messages when cloning from git.openwrt.org, probably related to some rate limiting applied. Cloning from github within a github action should work more stable. The "./scripts/feeds update -a" script will use the already checked out feed repositories and not clone them again from git.openwrt.org, but it will also not change the branch name.

* jansson: revert ABI version bumpJo-Philipp Wich2022-08-091-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | The soversion of the shipped libjansson.so library didn't change, so the ABI version change is unwarranted and leads to opkg file clashes. Also stop shipping an unversioned library symlink while we're at it as it only needed at compile/link time and leading to file level clashes between packages on future ABI bumps.

* mac80211: backport upstream fix for unitialized lock usageKoen Vandeputte2022-08-081-0/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Backports upstream fix from 5.19 lockdep complains use of uninitialized spinlock at ieee80211_do_stop() [1], for commit f856373e2f31ffd3 ("wifi: mac80211: do not wake queues on a vif that is being stopped") guards clear_bit() using fq.lock even before fq_init() from ieee80211_txq_setup_flows() initializes this spinlock. According to discussion [2], Toke was not happy with expanding usage of fq.lock. Since __ieee80211_wake_txqs() is called under RCU read lock, we can instead use synchronize_rcu() for flushing ieee80211_wake_txqs(). Signed-off-by: Koen Vandeputte <koen.vandeputte@ncentric.com>

* ramips: add support for Netcore NW5212David Yang2022-08-064-7/+151

Specifications: -------------- * SoC: Mediatek MT7620A * RAM: 128MB DDR2 * Flash: 16MB SPI NOR flash (Winbond W25Q128BV) * WiFi 2.4GHz: builtin * Ethernet: builtin * LED: Power, WAN, LAN 1-4, WiFi * Buttons: Reset (GPIO 13) * UART: Serial console (57600 8n1) * USB: 1 x USB2 Installation: ------------ The router comes with OpenWrt 14.07 built with MTK SDK. However, as the modem is provided by carriers, so the web interface is highly minimized and only contains a static page with no interaction options. There are two possible ways to gain the access. 1) Open the shell and use a UART2USB convert to gain TTY access. Please notice you have to remove resistance R54 at the back of the board otherwise you won't be able to input anything. 2) Use built-in backdoor. Access http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/_/testxst to start dropbear service at port 9122. Be warned the software is super old and only diffie-hellman-group1-sha1, diffie-hellman-group14-sha1, kexguess2@matt.ucc.asn.au is support, you may not be able to connect it with an up-to-date ssh client. After you can control the device, flash the firmware as usual. Here are some hints for that. Option 1 (via original firmware): 1) Setup HTTP server on your computer, for example: python3 -m http.server 2) Connect to the route and flash: cd /tmp wget http://<your-computer-host>/<your-firmware-name> mtd -r write <your-firmware-name> firmware Option 2 (replacing u-boot via breed): 1) Download breed-mt7620-reset13.bin from https://breed.hackpascal.net/ 2) Setup HTTP server on your computer, for example: python3 -m http.server You can skip this step if your breed is already accessible from HTTP, since the original wget does not support HTTPS. 3) Connect to the route and flash breed: cd /tmp wget http://<your-computer-host>/breed-mt7620-reset13.bin mtd write breed-mt7620-reset13.bin Bootloader 4) Reboot. Hold reset key or press any key in TTY to enter breed. 5) Access breed web interface (http://192.168.1.1/). Choose the flash layout to be 0x50000 and flash new firmware. MAC addresses: ------------- There are three MACs stored in factory, as in MT7620A reference design: source address usage 0x4 label WLAN 0x28 label MAC 1 0x2e label + 1 MAC 2 However, the OEM firmware only uses one single MAC (label) for all interfaces, probably a misconfiguration.

* ramips: add support for Netgear PR2000David Yang2022-08-064-0/+210
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for Netgear PR2000, sold as "Travel Router and Range Extender". Specifications: -------------- * SoC: Mediatek MT7620N * RAM: 64MB DDR2 * Flash: 16MB SPI NOR flash (Macronix MX25L12805D) * WiFi 2.4GHz: builtin * Ethernet: builtin * LED: Power, Internet, WiFi, USB * Buttons: Reset (GPIO 1/2) * UART: Serial console (57600 8n1) * USB: 1 x USB2 SPECIAL NOTES: ------------- Problem: WiFi is super weak, but SSID beacons seems to be right. Solve: Change 36h in factory partition (namely 0xf60036) to be 0x0. Explain: Clearly Netgear have different ideas on how EEPROM is used. Bit 2 of 36h indicates the presence of External LNA for 11g (2.4 GHz) band, which seems to be incorrectly set by Netgear (originally 0x04). Lifting it solves the problem of weak RX signal. Installation: ------------ There are two possible ways to install the firmware. Flashing via web interface of original firmware is not tested due to a broken firmware. 1) Open the shell and use a UART2USB convert to gain TTY access (TP7: RXD, TP9: TXD, TP10: GND). Please notice you have to remove resistance R54 next to TP7 otherwise you won't be able to input anything. 2) Use well-known Netgear debug switch. Access http://192.168.168.1/setup.cgi?todo=debug to start telnet service (username: root, password: <none>). Please back up firmware if you want to go back to the original. After you can control the device, flash the firmware as usual. Here are some hints for that. Option 1 (via nmrpflash): 1) Download nmrpflash from https://github.com/jclehner/nmrpflash 2) Use *-factory.img and flash: nmrpflash -L nmrpflash -i net* -f <your-firmware-name> 3) Turn off then turn on the device, wait it finishing flash. Option 2 (replacing u-boot via breed): 1) Download breed-mt7620-reset1.bin from https://breed.hackpascal.net/ 2) Setup HTTP server on your computer, for example: python3 -m http.server You can skip this step if your breed is already accessible from HTTP, since the original wget does not support HTTPS. 3) Connect to the route and flash breed: cd /tmp wget http://<your-computer-host>/breed-mt7620-reset1.bin dd if=breed-mt7620-reset1.bin of=/dev/mtdblock0 bs=64k 4) Reboot. Hold reset key or press any key in TTY to enter breed. 5) Access breed web interface (http://192.168.1.1/). Choose memory layout to be 0x40000 and flash new firmware. Remark: ------ As a "Range Extender", it has a switch to switch between Wired mode (GPIO 21 low) and Wireless mode (GPIO 20 low), which is not implemented in this patch. However, the router will be turned off when it switches to the middle, which makes this switch much less useful. MAC addresses: ------------- The OEM firmware uses one single MAC for all interfaces, located at 0xf700b0. Signed-off-by: David Yang <mmyangfl@gmail.com>
