Install Comment:
bootloader needs replacing; HG655b image is also valid for HG655d, but the HG655d rejects to flash it -> JTAG cable is required to replace the CFE bootloader.

brcm63xx: Add Huawei HG655b support This patch adds support for the Huawei HG655b. Nothing much special in this router, it's just another BCM6368 with a Ralink RT3062 wifi chip and the calibration data embedded in the main flash chip at offset 0x7c0000. There is also configuration data used by the OEM firmware before the cal_data partition, this area is protected by the board_data partition in this patch.
