ath79: add support for the TP-LINK CPE220 V3 This adds support for a popular low-cost 2.4GHz N based AP Specifications: SoC: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9533 (650MHz) RAM: 64MB Storage: 8 MB SPI NOR Wireless: 2.4GHz N based built into SoC 2x2 Ethernet: 2x 100/10 Mbps, integrated into SoC Installation: Flash factory image through stock firmware WEB UI or through TFTP To get to TFTP recovery just hold reset button while powering on for around 4-5 seconds and release. Rename factory image to recovery.bin Stock TFTP server IP:192.168.0.100 Stock device TFTP adress:192.168.0.254 This also applies some minor changes to the common DTSI: - use &wmac for label-mac-device, as this one is actually set up in common DTSI - move &eth0 to parent DTSI - fix several leading spaces, added/removed newlines
