ramips: add support for Netgear EAX12 series Netgear EAX12, EAX11v2, EAX15v2 are wall-plug 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) extenders that share the SoC, WiFi chip, and image format with the WAX202. Specifications: * MT7621, 256 MiB RAM, 128 MiB NAND * MT7915: 2.4/5 GHz 2x2 802.11ax (DBDC) * Ethernet: 1 port 10/100/1000 * UART: 115200 baud (labeled on board) All LEDs and buttons appear to work without state_default. 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. Revert to stock firmware: * Flash the stock firmware to the bootloader using TFTP/NMRP.
