c4b499bc03 qoriq: use FIT uImage for Firebox M300 kernel
This requires U-Boot environment changes:

  setenv OpenWrt_kernel watchguard_firebox-m300-fit-uImage.itb
  setenv loadaddr 0x20000000
  setenv wgBootSysA 'setenv bootargs root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootdelay=2 console=$consoledev,$baudrate fsl_dpaa_fman.fsl_fm_max_frm=1530; mmc dev 0; ext2load mmc 0:1 $loadaddr $OpenWrt_kernel; bootm $loadaddr'

Trying to sysupgrade an image containing this change on an M300 already
running OpenWrt will fail with the following error:

  Tue Jun 14 12:06:21 EEST 2022 upgrade: The device is supported, but the config is incompatible to the new image (1.0->1.1). Please upgrade without keeping config (sysupgrade -n).
  Tue Jun 14 12:06:21 EEST 2022 upgrade: Kernel switched to FIT uImage. Update U-Boot environment.
  Tue Jun 14 12:06:21 EEST 2022 upgrade: Reading partition table from bootdisk...
  Tue Jun 14 12:06:21 EEST 2022 upgrade: Extract boot sector from the image
  Tue Jun 14 12:06:21 EEST 2022 upgrade: Reading partition table from image...
  Image check failed.

This is to prevent rendering your device unbootable. Make the U-Boot
environment changes as instruced above, and then flash the image using
sysupgrade -F. The config can be kept, there is no need to use -n.

After the new image booted successfully, you can increase the compat_version:

  uci set system.@system[0].compat_version='1.1'
  uci commit

86948716db qoriq: use KERNEL_SUFFIX in Build/sdcard-img
Use the KERNEL_SUFFIX variable in Build/sdcard-img, rather than
using hardcoded "-kernel.bin", to allow overriding KERNEL_SUFFIX for a
device.

3fda16078b qoriq: add support for WatchGuard Firebox M300
This device is based on NXP's QorIQ T2081QDS board, with a quad-core
dual-threaded 1.5 GHz ppc64 CPU and 4GB ECC RAM. The board has 5
ethernet interfaces, of which 3 are connected to the ethernet ports on
the front panel. The other 2 are internally connected to a Marvell
88E6171 switch; the other 5 ports of this switch are also connected to
the ethernet ports on the front panel.

Installation: write the sdcard image to an SD card. Stock U-Boot will
not boot, wait for it to fail then run these commands:

setenv OpenWrt_fdt image-watchguard-firebox-m300.dtb
setenv OpenWrt_kernel watchguard_firebox-m300-kernel.bin
setenv wgBootSysA 'setenv bootargs root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootdelay=2 console=$consoledev,$baudrate fsl_dpaa_fman.fsl_fm_max_frm=1530; ext2load mmc 0:1 $fdtaddr $OpenWrt_fdt; ext2load mmc 0:1 $loadaddr $OpenWrt_kernel; bootm $loadaddr - $fdtaddr'
saveenv
reset

The default U-Boot boot entry will now boot OpenWrt from the SD card.

080a769b4d qoriq: new target
Add a new target named "qoriq", that will support boards using PowerPC
processors from NXP's QorIQ brand.

This doesn't actually add support for any board yet, so that
installation instructions can go in the commit message of the commit
that adds actual support for a board.

Using CONFIG_E6500_CPU here due to the kernel using -mcpu=powerpc64
rather than -mcpu=e5500 when selecting CONFIG_E5500_CPU. The only
difference between e5500 and e6500 is AltiVec support, and the kernel
checks for it at runtime. Musl will only check at runtime if AltiVec
support is disabled at compile-time, so we need to use e5500 in CPU_TYPE
to avoid SIGILL.

Math emulation (CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION_HW_UNIMPLEMENTED) is required, as
neither e5500 nor e6500 implement fsqrt nor fsqrts, and musl hardcodes
sqrt and sqrtf to use these ASM instructions on PowerPC64.
