ramips: add support for Netgear WAX202 Netgear WAX202 is an 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) router. Specifications: * SoC: MT7621A * RAM: 512 MiB NT5CC256M16ER-EK * Flash: NAND 128 MiB F59L1G81MB-25T * Wi-Fi: * MT7915D: 2.4/5 GHz (DBDC) * Ethernet: 4x 1GbE * Switch: SoC built-in * USB: None * UART: 115200 baud (labeled on board) Load addresses (same as ipTIME AX2004M): * stock * 0x80010000: FIT image * 0x81001000: kernel image -> entry * OpenWrt * 0x80010000: FIT image * 0x82000000: uncompressed kernel+relocate image * 0x80001000: relocated kernel image -> entry Installation: * Flash the factory image through the stock web interface, or TFTP to the bootloader. NMRP can be used to TFTP without opening the case. * Note that the bootloader accepts both encrypted and unencrypted images, while the stock web interface only accepts encrypted ones. Revert to stock firmware: * Flash the stock firmware to the bootloader using TFTP/NMRP.
