* ar71xx-generic: only create manifest alias for Rocket M5
This follow up the discussion done in #2070 by not creating a symlink
for the Rocket M5. Images for the Rocket M2 can still be flashed on a
Rocket M5.
This change will prevent the Rocket M5 from appearing in Firmware
selectors. Existing devices will still receive updates, as the device
name is still referenced for the device name expected by the M5.
Closes#2070
* docs: remove Rocket M5 from supported devices
target_config.lua and target_config_check.lua don't pass a table of
callbacks anymore, so target_config_lib.lua can by simplified by moving
all the code that was in the returned function to the toplevel.
So far, we were using a sort operation on the generated .config to
implement precedence of =y packages over =m, and =m over unset.
Unfortunately, this sort not only used for packages, but for all config
lines. This made it impossible to override settings from targets/generic
in a target config when the new setting was sorted before the generic
setting.
To fix this, track configurations by their keys, so we can properly
override config keys that were set before. Value-based precedence is
only preserved for package configuration.
The config() and try_config() calls always take key and value as
separate arguments now. Strings are quoted automatically; the values
true, nil and false map to y, m and unset for tristate options. config()
can take an optional third argument to override the error message to
display when the setting fails to apply.
All existing target configs generate the same .config with the old and the
new code. The new code is also a bit faster on targets with many devices.
This commit assigns class-flags to devices. The following scheme is
used:
- ath9k & ath10k: tiny if RAM <128M
- ath10k & ath10k: tiny if RAM <256M
- all: tiny if RAM <64M
- all: tiny if flash <8M
All other devices automatically have the default device-class selected.
This changes the ath10k firmware and driver selection, as
ath10k-ct is now the default in upstream OpenWrt.
However, for 802.11s operation we need the QCA firmware and driver.
This adds previously absent ath10k packages definitions. This way,
devices correctly select CandelaTech firmware correctly, when
GLUON_WLAN_MESH is set to IBSS.
This is also necessary for all devices, when OpenWrt is switched to
19.07.
The kernel partition on these devices is too small for the
OpenWrt 19.07 kernel. It is also located after the rootfs, so
we cannot grow it further.
Therefore mark these devices as deprecated now.
This reverts commit fb08e10494.
Devices featuring ath10k radios should at least 128 MB of memory
as their driver is quite memory hungry.
Devices with a configuration (1x ath10k, 64M memory) like this have
often been seen as running out of memory.
The profile for GL.iNet AR750 currently selects ATH10K_PACKAGES, but this device actually has a QCA9887 which needs another driver.
This commit fixes the issue by setting ATH10K_PACKAGES_QCA9887 instead.
This adds support for the TP-Link TL-WR902Ac v1 travel router.
The device is marked as broken due to 64MB which might be insufficient
in certain environments.
Support is marked as broken because this device is sold in two variants,
one with 64M RAM and another with 128M. As of now 64M is not enough
for ath10k with 5GHz enabled.
As there is no indication known which variant one will get better mark
it as broken.

Adds support for Alfa AP121F USB powered travel router (looks like an USB ethernet adapter).
There is no factory image, but only a sysupgrade file for this router which can be installed using the inbuilt UBoot web interface.
Configure your PC with IP address 192.168.1.2 and connect the router using its RJ45 port. Hold the reset button while powering the device until all LEDs have flashed 3 times simultaneously. You can now access the fallback web interface using a web browser at http://192.168.1.1 and flash the sysupgrade file.
