Notes
 •  This commit adds only single partition support, that means
    sysupgrade is upgrading the current rootfs partition.
 •  Installation can be done by serial connection only.
 •  A poulated serial header is onboard
    https://forum.openwrt.org/t/spectrum-sax1v1k-askey-rt5010w-openwrt-support/149923/6
 •  RX/TX is working, u-boot bootwait is active, secure boot is enabled.
Installation Instructions

Most part of the installation is performed from an initramfs image.

Boot initramfs : Using serial connection

1. Boot up the device and wait till it displays "VERIFY_IB: Success. verify IB ok"

2. Once that message appears,

   login with username 'root'
   password serial number of your router in uppercase.

3. Use vi to paste the 'open.sh' script from @MeisterLone github on your device

   https://github.com/MeisterLone/Askey-RT5010W-D187-REV6/blob/master/Patch/open.sh

4. chmod 755 open.sh

5. ./open.sh

6. Set your ip to 192.168.0.1

7. Run a TFTP server and host the initramfs image on the TFTP server and name it "recovery.img"

8. Reboot device. On boot it will try TFTP.

Install OpenWrt from initramfs image

1. Use SCP (or other way) to transfer OpenWrt factory image

2. Connect to device using SSH (on a LAN port)

3. Flash firmware: sysupgrade

  # sysupgrade -n -v /tmp/openwrt_sysupgrade.bin

4. Set U-boot env variable: bootcmd

  # fw_setenv bootcmd "run fix_uboot; run setup_and_boot"

5. Reboot the device

  # reboot

6. Once device is booted, residue of previous firmware will prevent openwrt to work properly.

Factory Reset is MUST required
   # Once serial console is displaying to login, hold reset button for 10 sec

7. Now everything should be operational.

Note: this PR adds only single partition support, that means sysupgrade is upgrading the current rootfs partition
