mediatek: mt7622: bpi-r64: rewrite MMC uImage.FIT sysupgrade

2021-11-12T15:03:07Z

Similar to mt7623, also no longer use 'blockdev' and stop relying on in-kernel partition parsers. Instead, strip off all metadata using 'fwtool' while writing the firmware image and scrape the number of blocks written from 'dd', then use that block offset to stash the configuration backup.

mediatek: mt7623: re-write sysupgrade uImage.FIT on MMC

2021-11-12T15:03:02Z

Re-reading the partition table doesn't work reliably, it fails if anything on the device is still in use and it's not trivial to prevent every possible case of a block device still being in use somehow. Therefore, instead of relying on the in-kernel partition parser to know where to write the configuration backup, use OpenWrt's format-agnostic fwtool to strip off all metadata from the image and count its blocks while writing. In that way we can know where to write the config backup without needing the kernel to parse the MBR and FIT structures. Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle

bcm53xx: drop patch for downstream swconfig-based b53

2021-11-08T14:58:42Z

It isn't used anymore so there is no need to hack CPU port. Upstream (DSA-based) b53 also supports all switch ports just fine. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki

bcm53xx: drop downstream patch for Buffalo WZR-1750DHP button

2021-11-08T14:58:30Z

This patch never received a proper description and was never sent upstream as supposed. It was meant to be handled in 2015-2018 so it should be safe to assume noone really understands it or care. Cc: Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki

layerscape: mkits-multiple-config: fail on invalid arguments

2021-11-08T14:58:13Z

Fail if arguments couldn't be parsed and print unrecognized part. It's important when running it from script with dynamic values. Missing value could result in skipping argument and silent failures (unexpected its). Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki

bcm4908: start work on images for devices using U-Boot

2021-11-08T14:57:55Z

New BCM4908 family based routers will use U-Boot bootloader. That will require using a totally different firmware format. Kernel has to be put in a FIT image. OpenWrt has some helpers for generating .its files but they don't fit BCM4908 requirements and there is no simple way of extending any of them. The best solution seems to be storing an .its template. BCM4908 bootfs may: 1. contain extra binaries (other than kernel & DTB) 2. include multiple DTB files 3. store device specific U-Boot configurations with custom properties Such setups are too complex to generate using shell script. Raw .its file on the other hand seems quire clean & reasonable. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki
