mediatek-mt7622: add support for netgear wax206

[maurerle]

• Must be flashable from vendor firmware
  • Web interface
  • TFTP
  • Other: nmrpflash
• Must support upgrade mechanism
  • Must have working sysupgrade
    • Must keep/forget configuration (sysupgrade [-n], firstboot)
  • Gluon profile name matches autoupdater image name
    (lua -e 'print(require("platform_info").get_image_name())') - netgear-wax206
• Reset/WPS/... button must return device into config mode
• Primary MAC address should match address on device label (or packaging)
  (https://gluon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dev/hardware.html#hardware-support-in-packages) see mediatek-mt7622: netgear-wax206 fix wifi leds openwrt/openwrt#17694
  • When re-adding a device that was supported by an earlier version of Gluon, a
    factory reset must be performed before checking the primary MAC address, as
    the setting from the old version is not reset otherwise.
• Wired network
  • should support all network ports on the device
  • must have correct port assignment (WAN/LAN)
    • if there are multiple ports but no WAN port:
      • the PoE input should be WAN, all other ports LAN
      • otherwise the first port should be declared as WAN, all other ports LAN
• Wireless network (if applicable)
  • Association with AP must be possible on all radios
  • Association with 802.11s mesh must work on all radios
  • AP+mesh mode must work in parallel on all radios
• LED mapping
  • Power/system LED
    • Lit while the device is on
    • Should display config mode blink sequence
      (https://gluon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/features/configmode.html)
  • Radio LEDs
    • Should map to their respective radio
    • Should show activity
  • Switch port LEDs
    • Should map to their respective port (or switch, if only one led present)
    • Should show link state and activity
• Outdoor devices only:
  • Added board name to is_outdoor_device function in package/gluon-core/luasrc/usr/lib/lua/gluon/platform.lua
• Cellular devices only:
  • Added board name to is_cellular_device function in package/gluon-core/luasrc/usr/lib/lua/gluon/platform.lua
  • Added board name with modem setup function setup_ncm_qmi to package/gluon-core/luasrc/lib/gluon/upgrade/250-cellular
• Docs:
  • Added Device to docs/user/supported_devices.rst

Caveats

• on the test device, the internet wan port did not work until ethtool --set-eee internet wan off tx-lpi off is issued. This happens on some devices on 24.10 - see Periodic link down+up since 24.10.0-rc* openwrt/openwrt#17351
• the LEDs are working once mediatek-mt7622: netgear-wax206 fix wifi leds openwrt/openwrt#17694 is merged and backported

I just looked at the device again. Gluon only defines 112MiB of the 256MiB flash in it's mtd partitions. I feel like we should adjust this now, so everyone can profit from this and so it won't be done later (after we add the device). because adjusting a ubi partition causes trouble and requires a factory install for example with nmrpflash (we need to increase major compat for this).
Gluon doesn't require the rest of the flash to be usable, but OpenWrt users profit.

@Djfe 112M are plenty, so id o not see the need.

@maurerle Is openwrt/openwrt#17694 requiring a backport or is it already being take care of?

Regarding the link flapping - can you check if adding the eee-broken-... properties (https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet-phy.yaml) fixes the initital link state?

[maurerle]

@blocktrron openwrt/openwrt#17694 is already backported.

See openwrt/openwrt@0ba00ec

Regarding eeee-broken, I will try that soon, thanks

@maurerle are you still having the device at hand and considering to rebase/finalize/re-test it?
