217571b6ab ath79: WNDR3700/3800/MAC: utilize nvmem for caldata fetching
converts the still popular WNDR3700 Series to fetch the
caldata through nvmem. As the "MAC with NVMEM" has shown,
there could pitfalls along the way.

e826b64294 ath79: convert remaining mtd-mac-address cases to nvmem
Since the nvmem-based approach for retrieving MAC addresses
appears to depend on the addresses being set up after the
partitions, it is no longer possible to keep the MAC address
setup in shared DTSI files while the partitions itself are
set up in DTS files for the individual devices.

In ath79 the firmware partition is typically located somewhere
"in the middle" of the partition table. Thus, it's not trivial
to share the partitions containing MAC address information in
a common DTSI (like we did in some cases on ramips).

In this commit, MAC address setup is thus moved to the relevant
partitions, and in most cases needs to be duplicated. While
the duplication is not really nice, it eventually provides a
cleaner and more tidy setup, making the DTS(I) file
fragmentation a bit more logical. This should also help
with adding new devices, as information is distributed across
less locations.

For consistency, this commit also moves the mtd-cal-data property
"down" together with the MAC address setup, so it's not based
on a partition before the latter is defined either. (This is
only done for those files touched due to nvmem conversion.)

ff7709d223 kernel: mtdsplit_uimage: replace "netgear, uimage" parser
The "netgear,uimage" parser can be replaced by the generic
parser using device specific openwrt,ih-magic and
openwrt,ih-type properties.

Device tree properties for the following devices have not
been set, as they have been dropped from OpenWrt with the
removal of the ar71xx target:

 FW_MAGIC_WNR2000V1     0x32303031
 FW_MAGIC_WNR2000V4     0x32303034
 FW_MAGIC_WNR1000V2_VC  0x31303030
 FW_MAGIC_WPN824N       0x31313030

41cc7edc15 ath79: move dts-v1 statement to ath79.dtsi
The "/dts-v1/;" identifier is supposed to be present once at the
top of a device tree file after the includes have been processed.

In ath79, we therefore requested to have in the DTS files so far,
and omit it in the DTSI files. However, essentially the syntax of
the parent ath79.dtsi file already determines the DTS version, so
putting it into the DTS files is just a useless repetition.

Consequently, this patch puts the dts-v1 statement into the parent
ath79.dtsi, which is (indirectly) included by all DTS files. All
other occurences are removed.
Since the dts-v1 statement needs to be before any other definitions,
this also moves the includes to make sure the ath79.dtsi or its
descendants are always included first.

108df3eabb ath79: add support for the Netgear WNDRMAC v1
The Netgear WNDRMAC v1 is a hardware variant of the Netgear WNDR3700 v2

Specifications
==============
* SoC: Atheros AR7161
* RAM: 64mb
* Flash on board: 16mb
* WiFi: Atheros AR9220 (a/n), Atheros AR9223 (b/g/n)
* Ethernet: RealTek RTL8366SR (1xWAN, 4xLAN, Gigabit)
* Power: 12 VDC, 2.5 A
* Full specs on [openwrt.org](https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/netgear/netgear_wndrmac_v1)

Flash Instructions
==================
It is possible to use the OEM Upgrade page to install the `factory`
variant of the firmware.

After the initial upgrade, you will need to telnet into the router
(default IP 192.168.1.1) to install anything. You may install LuCI
this way. At this point, you will have a web interface to configure
OpenWRT on the WNDRMAC v1.

Please use the `sysupgrade` variant for subsequent flashes.

Recovery Instructions
=====================
A TFTP-based recovery flash is possible if the need arises. Please refer
to the WNDR3700 page on openwrt.org for details.
