This will hide the outdoor mode setting on compatible devices in case
the defined channels should be preserved.
Otherwise a user might be under the impression their device is compliant
with outdoor operation when in reality it still uses prohibited
channels.
On lantiq, the default WAN ifname is 'dsl0' even on devices that have a
separate WAN port. At least on devices using swconfig we can override
this with the switch port labelled as 'wan'.
Because is_disabled() was always returning true or false, the
first_non_nil() would never actually check the default setting from
site.conf. This was broken since v2017.1.

The interfaces should always exist and just be disabled when outdoor
mode is enabled. Not creating them at all leads to an issue in the
advanced wifi settings where an additional reload of the page is
necessary after enabling or disabling the ourdoor mode to make the mesh
VIF options appear or disappear.
This allows for multiple mesh legs out of one box. Useful for offloaders
and networks using vlan for separate mesh transport.
Custom mesh interfaces in a VXLAN domain are otherwise firewalled.

This adds support for the beacon interval to be set on a per-band base.
This has the potential to reduce the amount of airtime used up for
sending beacon frames.
Separate wireless-related helper methods from the util module to a
new wireless module. This keeps them separated, as the amount of
wireless helpers increased in the past, justifying a separate module.
The netdev() lookup is confusing to use: whenever a interface does not
exist during boot (for example VLAN) or when the address is overridden
from board.json (which is not obvious at all), it will yield either no
address, or a different address than expected.
To avoid this confusion, using board.json-based interface() is
preferable. This converts all uses of netdev() to the corresponding
lan/wan lookups, except for the final fallback for eth0.
- Replace misnamed, closure-returning sysfs() to a reusable read() function
- Rename eth() to netdev(), pass full interface name
- Rename board() to interface()
- Split reuable get_netdev_addr() out of netdev()
Remove a lot of redundant code by switching to a match table listing
the targets and boards for each candidate for the primary MAC interface.
In addition, we add some flexiblity by allow to switch out the sysfs file
data source for the MAC address.
The is_outdoor function is placed inside the gluon.platform module, not
the platform_info module. Currently, the outdoor-mode wizard component
and the upgrade script fail due to nil-value calls.
Add the `wifi5.outdoor_chanlist` site configuration that
allows specifying an outdoor channel range that can be
switched to for regulatory compliance.
Upon enabling the outdoor option the device will
- configure the `outdoor_chanlist` on all 5 GHz radios
- which may enable DFS/TPC, based on the regulatory domain
- disable ibss/mesh on the 5 GHz radio, as DFS *will*
break mesh connections
- allow for htmode reconfiguration on 5 GHz radios
The outdoor option can be toggled from
- Advanced Settings
- W-LAN
- Outdoor Installation
The `preserve_channel` flag overrules the outdoor channel
selection.
The device is broken until the next release. The LEDs are currently not
working (fixed in current OpenWRT master).
Also give a brief explanation about the BROKEN status being dependent on
the WiFi chip used and not the SoC family in general.
This commit distributes dualband radios evenly on 2.4 GHz and 5GHz with
2.4 GHz being prioritised higher than 5 GHz. This means in case a device
has only a single radio and this radio supports operation in both bands,
it will be set to 2.4 GHz.

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.
This reverts commit b3d7011130.
with this change, DNS in batman-adv based networks is broken.
although the revert breaks babel based networks, this is not as big of a problem.
