6f96a4d043 ath79: remove model name from LED labels
Currently, we request LED labels in OpenWrt to follow the scheme

  modelname:color:function

However, specifying the modelname at the beginning is actually
entirely useless for the devices we support in OpenWrt. On the
contrary, having this part actually introduces inconvenience in
several aspects:

  - We need to ensure/check consistency with the DTS compatible
  - We have various exceptions where not the model name is used,
    but the vendor name (like tp-link), which is hard to track
    and justify even for core-developers
  - Having model-based components will not allow to share
    identical LED definitions in DTSI files
  - The inconsistency in what's used for the model part complicates
    several scripts, e.g. board.d/01_leds or LED migrations from
    ar71xx where this was even more messy

Apart from our needs, upstream has deprecated the label property
entirely and introduced new properties to specify color and
function properties separately. However, the implementation does
not appear to be ready and probably won't become ready and/or
match our requirements in the foreseeable future.

However, the limitation of generic LEDs to color and function
properties follows the same idea pointed out above. Generic LEDs
will get names like "green:status" or "red:indicator" then, and
if a "devicename" is prepended, it will be the one of an internal
device, like "phy1:amber:status".

With this patch, we move into the same direction, and just drop
the boardname from the LED labels. This allows to consolidate
a few definitions in DTSI files (will be much more on ramips),
and to drop a few migrations compared to ar71xx that just changed
the boardname. But mainly, it will liberate us from a completely
useless subject to take care of for device support review and
maintenance.
To also drop the boardname from existing configurations, a simple
migration routine is added unconditionally.

Although this seems unfamiliar at first look, a quick check in kernel
for the arm/arm64 dts files revealed that while 1033 lines have
labels with three parts *:*:*, still 284 actually use a two-part
labelling *:*, and thus is also acceptable and not even rare there.

8ff631feff ath79: add support for AVM FRITZ!WLAN Repeater DVB-C
This commit adds support for the AVM FRITZ!WLAN Repeater DVB-C

SOC:   Qualcomm Atheros QCA9556
RAM:   64 MiB
FLASH: 16 MB SPI-NOR
WLAN:  QCA9556 3T3R 2.4 GHZ b/g/n and
       QCA9880 3T3R 5 GHz n/ac
ETH:   Atheros AR8033 1000 Base-T
DVB-C: EM28174 with MaxLinear MXL251 tuner
BTN:   WPS Button
LED:   Power, WLAN, TV, RSSI0-4

Tested and working:
 - Ethernet (correct MAC, gigabit, iperf3 about 200 Mbit/s)
 - 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (correct MAC)
 - 5 GHz Wi-Fi (correct MAC)
 - WPS Button (tested using wifitoggle)
 - LEDs
 - Installation via EVA bootloader (FTP recovery)
 - OpenWrt sysupgrade (both CLI and LuCI)
 - Download of "urlader" (mtd0)

Not working:
 - Internal USB
 - DVB-C em28174+MxL251 (depends on internal USB)

Installation via EVA bootloader (FTP recovery):
Set NIC to 192.168.178.3/24 gateway 192.168.178.1 and power on the device,
connect to 192.168.178.1 through FTP and sign in with adam2/adam2:

ftp> quote USER adam2
ftp> quote PASS adam2
ftp> binary
ftp> debug
ftp> passive
ftp> quote MEDIA FLSH
ftp> put openwrt-sysupgrade.bin mtd1

Wait for "Transfer complete" together with the transfer details.
Wait two minutes to make sure flash is complete (just to be safe).

Then restart the device (power off and on) to boot into OpenWrt.
Revert your NIC settings to reach OpenWrt at 192.168.1.1
