ath79: add support for AVM FRITZ!WLAN Repeater DVB-C
This commit adds support for the AVM FRITZ!WLAN Repeater DVB-C

SOC:   Qualcomm Atheros QCA9556
RAM:   64 MiB
FLASH: 16 MB SPI-NOR
WLAN:  QCA9556 3T3R 2.4 GHZ b/g/n and
       QCA9880 3T3R 5 GHz n/ac
ETH:   Atheros AR8033 1000 Base-T
DVB-C: EM28174 with MaxLinear MXL251 tuner
BTN:   WPS Button
LED:   Power, WLAN, TV, RSSI0-4

Tested and working:
 - Ethernet (correct MAC, gigabit, iperf3 about 200 Mbit/s)
 - 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (correct MAC)
 - 5 GHz Wi-Fi (correct MAC)
 - WPS Button (tested using wifitoggle)
 - LEDs
 - Installation via EVA bootloader (FTP recovery)
 - OpenWrt sysupgrade (both CLI and LuCI)
 - Download of "urlader" (mtd0)

Not working:
 - Internal USB
 - DVB-C em28174+MxL251 (depends on internal USB)

Installation via EVA bootloader (FTP recovery):
Set NIC to 192.168.178.3/24 gateway 192.168.178.1 and power on the device,
connect to 192.168.178.1 through FTP and sign in with adam2/adam2:

ftp> quote USER adam2
ftp> quote PASS adam2
ftp> binary
ftp> debug
ftp> passive
ftp> quote MEDIA FLSH
ftp> put openwrt-sysupgrade.bin mtd1

Wait for "Transfer complete" together with the transfer details.
Wait two minutes to make sure flash is complete (just to be safe).

Then restart the device (power off and on) to boot into OpenWrt.
Revert your NIC settings to reach OpenWrt at 192.168.1.1
