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.)

eb531337a7 ath79: add support for TP-Link TL-WR710N v2.1
This adds support for the TP-Link TL-WR710N v2.1. It is basically a
re-issue of the v1.2.

Specifications:

SoC:       Atheros AR9331
CPU:       400 MHz
Flash:     8 MiB
RAM:       32 MiB
WiFi:      2.4 GHz b/g/n
Ethernet:  2x 100M ports
USB:       1x 2.0

The only difference from the v1 is the TP-Link hardware ID/revision.

Attention:
The TL-WR710N v2.0 (!) has only 4 MB flash and cannot be flashed with
this image. It has a different TPLINK_HWREV, so accidental flashing
of the factory image should be impossible without additional measures.

Unfortunately, the v2.0 in ar71xx has the same board name, so sysupgrade
from ar71xx v2.0 into ath79 v1/v2.1 will not be prevented, but will brick
the device.

Flashing instruction:

Upload the factory image via the OEM firmware GUI upgrade mechanism.

Further notes:

To make implementation easier if somebody desires to port the 4M v2.0,
this already creates two DTSI files.
