1)Changes
- Rebased the patches for linux-4.4.7
- Added patch to fix spi nor fifo and dma support
- Added patch to configure watchdog barktime
2)Testing
Tested on IPQ AP148 Board:
a. NOR boot and NAND boot
b. ethernet network and ath10k wifi
c. ubi sysupgrade
UnTested
dwc3 usb has not been validated on IPQ board(AP148)
3)Known Issues:
Once we flash ubi image on AP148, and if we reset the board, uboot on
first boot creates PEB and LEB for dynamic sized partitions, which is incorrect
and not what linux expects which causes errors when trying to mount rootfs.
In order to test this, we can use the below steps:
a. Flash the ubi image on board and don't reset the board
b. load the kernel fit image in RAM and boot from there.

Previous patch set backported the recently posted NAND flash driver to
3.18 and 4.1 kernel. This patch now enables it in the kernel config.
There is no change to the partition layout and init yet. But the NAND
flash can be seen in the mtd list on an AP148:
root@OpenWrt:/# cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 10000000 00020000 "qcom-nandc"

Ethernet GMAC is built-in the SoC, so there is no need to enable it as a
module. We'll just assume we need it. That's what is done for other
platform where this driver is used so it'll make things more consistent.

This driver has been cherry-picked and backported from the following

It also updates the DT accordingly.

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.

Patches in the ipq806x/patches folder were out of tree in v3.14. The
newest patch at the time was from June, so we can safely assume that
either the patches have been merged, or they have been rejected for
a good reason. If patches are seen missing, we'll cherry-pick them
on a per-needed basis.
This new kernel have been tested on AP148, which seems to works fine.

replace all occurences of LINUX_VERSION with the cleaner
approach. future kernel upgrades must mostly touch only
one file. the only platform left is netlogic, because it
uses a intermediate kernel 3.14.16

Patches are generated using the "format-patch" command from the
following location:

Patches numbered 76/77/102/103 have already been integrated in 3.14.12,
so they're not in this list.
All these patches are either integrated are pending integration into
kernel.org, therefore these patches should go away once the kernel
gets upgraded to 3.16.
Support is currently limited to AP148 board but can be extended to other
platforms in the future.
These changes do not cover ethernet connectivity.
