ipq40xx: add support for ALFA Network AP120C-AC ALFA Network AP120C-AC is a dual-band ceiling AP, based on Qualcomm IPQ4018 + QCA8075 platform. Specification: - Qualcomm IPQ4018 (717 MHz) - 256 MB of RAM (DDR3) - 16 MB (SPI NOR) + 128 MB (SPI NAND) of flash - 2x Gbps Ethernet, with 802.3af PoE support in one port - 2T2R 2.4/5 GHz (IPQ4018), with ext. FEMs (QFE1952, QFE1922) - 3x U.FL connectors - 1x 1.8 dBi (Bluetooth) and 2x 3/5 dBi dual-band (Wi-Fi) antennas - Atmel/Microchip AT97SC3205T TPM module (I2C bus) - TI CC2540 Bluetooth LE module (USB 2.0 bus) - 4x LED (all driven by GPIO) - 1x button (reset) - 1x USB 2.0 (optional, not installed in indoor version) - DC jack for main power input (12 V) - UART header available on PCB (2.0 mm pitch) Flash instruction: 1. This board uses dual-image feature (128 MB NAND is divided into two 64 MB partitions: 'rootfs1' and 'rootfs2'). 2. Before update, make sure your device is running firmware no older than v1.1 (previous versions have incompatible U-Boot). 3. Use 'factory' image in vendor GUI or for sysupgrade tool, without preserving settings. Signed-off-by: Piotr Dymacz
