ath79: add support for Huawei AP5030DN
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Huawei AP5030DN is a dual-band, dual-radio 802.11ac Wave 1 3x3 MIMO enterprise access point with two Gigabit Ethernet ports and PoE support.

Hardware highlights:
- CPU: QCA9550 SoC at 720MHz
- RAM: 256MB DDR2
- Flash: 32MB SPI-NOR
- Wi-Fi 2.4GHz: QCA9550-internal radio
- Wi-Fi 5GHz: QCA9880 PCIe WLAN SoC
- Ethernet 1: 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet through Broadcom B50612E PHY
- Ethernet 2: 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet through Marvell 88E1510 PHY
- PoE: input through Ethernet 1 port
- Standalone 12V/2A power input
- Serial console externally available through RJ45 port
- External watchdog: SGM706

Serial console:
  9600n8 (9600 baud, no stop bits, no parity, 8 data bits)

MAC addresses:
  Each device has 32 consecutive MAC addresses allocated by
  the vendor, which don't overlap between devices.
  This was confirmed with multiple devices with consecutive
  serial numbers.
  The MAC address range starts with the address on the label.
  To be able to distinguish between the interfaces,
  the following MAC address scheme is used:
    - eth0 = label MAC
    - eth1 = label MAC + 1
    - radio0 (Wi-Fi 5GHz) = label MAC + 2
    - radio1 (Wi-Fi 2.4GHz) = label MAC + 3

Installation:
0. Connect some sort of RJ45-to-USB adapter to "Console" port of the AP

1. Power up the AP

2. At prompt "Press f or F  to stop Auto-Boot in 3 seconds",
   do what they say.

3. Boot the OpenWrt initramfs from TFTP using hidden script "run ramboot".
   Replace IP address as needed:

   > setenv serverip 192.168.1.10
   > setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
   > setenv rambootfile openwrt-ath79-generic-huawei_ap5030dn-initramfs-kernel.bin
   > run ramboot

4. Optional but recommended as the factory firmware cannot be downloaded publicly:
   Back up contents of "firmware" partition using web interface or ssh:

   $ ssh [email protected] cat /dev/mtd11 > huawei_ap5030dn_fw_backup.bin

5. Run sysupgrade using sysupgrade image. OpenWrt
   shall boot from flash afterwards.

Return to factory firmware (using firmware upgrade package downloaded from non-public Huawei website):
1. Start a TFTP server in the directory where
   the firmware upgrade package is located

2. Boot to u-boot as described above

3. Install firmware upgrade package and format the config partitions:

   > update system FatAP5X30XN_SOMEVERSION.bin
   > format_fs

Return to factory firmware (from previously created backup):
1. Copy over the firmware partition backup to /tmp,
   for example using scp

2. Use sysupgrade with force to restore the backup:
   sysupgrade -F huawei_ap5030dn_fw_backup.bin

3. Boot AP to U-Boot as described above

Quirks and known issues:
- On initial power-up, the Huawei-modified bootloader suspends both ethernet PHYs (it sets the "Power Down" bit in the MII control register). Unfortunately, at the time of writing, the kernel driver for the B50612E/BCM54612E PHY behind eth0 doesn't have a resume callback defined which would clear this bit. This makes the PHY unusable since it remains suspended forever. This is why the kernel patches in this commit are required which add this callback and for completeness also a suspend callback.
- The stock firmware has a semi dual boot concept where the primary kernel uses a squashfs as root partition and the secondary kernel uses an initramfs. This dual boot concept is circumvented on purpose to gain more flash space and since the stock firmware's flash layout isn't compatible with mtdsplit.
- When OpenWrt is built from source, early printk has to be disabled in the kernel config. This is because the external watchdog's timeout of 1.6 seconds is so short that it kills the kernel when boot is slowed down a bit by early printk.

Subject: net: phy: broadcom: Wire suspend/resume for BCM54612E

The BCM54612E ethernet PHY supports IDDQ-SR.
Therefore wire-up the suspend and resume callbacks
to point to bcm54xx_suspend() and bcm54xx_resume().
