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.
By passing the package name through merge_packages, it becomes possible to
override the package choice in GLUON_SITE_PACKAGES again, for example:
GLUON_SITE_PACKAGES += -hostapd-mini hostapd
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 backports the TP-Link Archer C50 v4.
We are dropping the following upstream commits. They add support for the
TP-Link recovery-flag which enabled the web-recovery. As they are not
needed for the router to work, we drop them for now.
28cd2ca base-files: sysupgrade: support additional mtd options
1e06482 mtd: add logic for TP-Link ramips recovery magic
This allows for smaller firmware images and makes it possible to reset a
device via firstboot command.

This commit removes the broken flag from all devices in the mt76x8
subtarget.
The stability of the mt76 driver for the mt7628 and mt7612 has greatly
improved in the last half-year. It might be still behind ath9k and
ath10k but it is suitable for daily use.
This affects the following devices:
- GL.iNet MT300N v2
- TP-Link Archer C50 v3
- TP-Link TL-WR841 v13
