Since the kernel/rootfs split handling was modified 2 years ago by r37283 (
https://dev.openwrt.org/changeset/37283 ) and by the subsequent checkins,
users have seen rather scary mtd errors in the log at every boot. The message
ends "-- forcing read-only", which looks a bit error-like. That error has
been mentioned in some forum threads, when users have noticed this message
instead of some actual error.

The patch removes the rather useless warning message.

This change adds PCIe support to IPQ806x based platforms. The driver is
actually cherry-picked from the following LKML thread:
*https://lwn.net/Articles/643086/ (patches 110-111)
We also add here an additional fix to support multiple PCI controllers
on the same platform (patch 112), and to patch the ap148 & dbs149 DTS
files (patch 113).

This change enable zImage+appended dtb support in ipq806x kernel
options. The zImage will now be generated as part of the kernel
binaries. Platforms which do not have DT support enabled in U-boot
can now make use of it by generating zImage files and appending dtb
to it.
It is not used yet but it is done as a stepping stone for early IPQ806x
platforms, which did not include DT support in U-boot.

ARCH_QCOM is using the ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM option, as now recommended
on most ARM architectures. This automatically calculate ZRELADDR by
masking PHYS_OFFSET with 0xf8000000.
On IPQ806x though, the first ~20MB of RAM is reserved for the hardware.
In newer bootloader, when DT is used, this is not a problem, we just
reserve this memory in the device tree. But if the bootloader doesn't
have DT support, then ATAGS have to be used. In this case, the ARM
decompressor will position the kernel in this low mem, which will not be
in the RAM section mapped by the bootloader, which means the kernel will
freeze in the middle of the boot process trying to map the memory.
As a work around, this patch allows disabling AUTO_ZRELADDR when
ARCH_QCOM is selected. It makes the zImage usage possible on bootloaders
which don't support device-tree, which is the case on certain early
IPQ806x based designs.

As mkits.sh makes the -d argument optional, we'll make this same
argument optional in the MkFIT function as well.
With this change, MkFIT can be used both to generate FIT images with DT,
and without DT.

mkits.sh help currently shows dtb file as optional, but generates an
invalid its file when this option is unspecified.
We're fixing this problem by removing the use of the sed command and
just including variables instead.

This option has been added in kernel 3.17. It shows-up only when both
ARCH_QCOM and CRYPTO are enabled. So we'll disable these two by default
to avoid stalling the build when these conditions are met.

Most of the time, we want to make sure OpenWrt has been configured and
setup before start running make. However, in case of package/symlinks,
forcing prereq as a dependency creates multiple issues:
*when executed on a clean workspace, it will prompt for user input
and open a menuconfig window before executing the feeds command
*the only way around that is to provide a .config. However, the "prereq"
target would then run a "make defconfig", which will remove all the
packages in the .config but from external feeds, as feeds have not been
installed yet.
The only way to currently work around this, is to generate a fake config
by running "make defconfig", then "make package/symlinks", copy the real
config (which at this point disregards the previously generated config),
and run make defconfig again. Something like this:
make defconfig
make package/symlinks
cp real.config .config
make defconfig
This change is removing the need for the first defconfig, making the
process more logical for OpenWrt users using the package/symlinks target.

Most people report broken ethernet with upstream. Last year, user "franz.flasch"
authored a working mach-file. His patch is outdated so I modernized it. Original
patch and user commentary on page 1:
https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=260861#p260861
I have figured out what the critical differences are between the two that caused
upstream ethernet to break.
1) Both ath79_init_mac() functions calls must be invocated before any GMAC init
2) must init GMAC0 before GMAC1
That was enough to get upstream to function, but I wanted to enjoy my confidence
having tested franz's patch for a week sucessfully, so I put his whole
function in, which only features more differences in order of function calls.
An expert should consider these changes, which could pose potential bugs/issues:
1) No longer using the flag AR934X_ETH_CFG_SW_PHY_SWAP in the
ath79_setup_ar934x_eth_cfg() call.
2) Possible consequence of no longer explicitly setting ethernet duplex/speed.
Review: With this patch, my ethernet and wireless works.
