In ath79, for several SoCs the console bootargs are defined to the
very same value in every device's DTS. Consolidate these definitions
in the SoC dtsi files and drop further redundant definitions elsewhere.
The only device without any bootargs set has been OpenMesh OM5P-AC V2.
This will now inherit the setting from qca955x.dtsi
While this is a cosmetic change, backporting it to 19.07 will be a
major help for anyone doing backports of device support. Without it,
every backporter would have to remember to manually add the chosen node
to the device's DTS.

(cherry picked from commit 635f111148c3f7ccb0ecc92863a3b1a142f6ebeb)
The info/product-info partition, which frequently contains MAC
adresses, is typically assigned the 'info' alias in DTS, but
then labelled with 'info', 'product-info' or 'config'.
This leads to different aliases if used for setting MAC adresses
in DTS compared to when using e.g. mtd_get_mac_binary. Occationally,
also multiple switch-case entries are used just because of different
labelling.
This patch relabels those partitions in ath79 to consistently use
'info'.

Commit "generic: ar8216: add mib_poll_interval switch attribute" sets
mib-poll-interval as disabled by default (was set to 2s), so it makes
switch LEDs trigger disfunctional on devices which don't have
mib-poll-interval set.
So this patch sets mib-poll-interval to 500ms on devices which have
ar83xx switch connected to mdio0 bus, as the same value was set for
built in switches in 443fc9ac35 ("ath79: use ar8216 for builtin
switch").
Some measurements performed on TP-Link Archer C7-v5:
mib-type=0, mib-poll-interval=500ms (10s pidstat)
Average: %usr %system %guest %wait %CPU CPU Command
Average: 0.00 1.93 0.00 0.00 1.93 - kworker/0:2
iperf3 (30s): 334 Mbits/sec
mib-type=0, mib-poll-interval=2s (10s pidstat)
Average: %usr %system %guest %wait %CPU CPU Command
Average: 0.00 1.14 0.00 0.00 1.14 - kworker/0:2
iperf3 (30s): 334 Mbits/sec
So it seems like we get 4x faster LED refresh rate for additional 0.8%
CPU load.

Commit 34b10b46 made usb match with the corresponding usb label.
The problem is that v4 seems to use in stock firmware the
upper led for usb 1 and the lower led for usb 2.
The led assigned varies between TP-Link models and even
same model versions. For example, Archer C7 v1 and v2 have
the leds in the reverse order.
Revert 34b10b46 and swap led labels instead, now usb port
and led label match and also respect the original behavior.
