ipq807x: Add support for Plasma Cloud PAX1800 v1

Browse Source 
Device specifications:
======================

* Qualcomm IPQ6000
* 256 MB of RAM
* 64 MB of SPI NOR flash
  - 2x 28 MB available; but one of the 28 MB regions is the recovery image
* 2T2R 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (11ax)
* 2T2R 5 GHz Wi-Fi (11ax)
* multi-color LED (controlled via red/green/blue GPIOs)
* 1x GPIO-button (reset)
* external h/w watchdog (enabled by default))
* TTL pins are on board
* 2x ethernet
  - eth0
    + 1000 Mbps Ethernet
    + used as LAN interface
  - eth1
    + 1000 Mbps Ethernet
    + 802.3at POE
    + used as WAN interface
* 12 2A DC
* internal antennas

This device is not exported via a profile in TIP because there were
concerns about the 256MB limitations. But the actual OpenWrt support is
still added for interested parties.

Flashing instructions:
======================

Various methods can be used to install the actual image on the flash.
Two easy ones are:

ap51-flash
----------

The tool ap51-flash (https://github.com/ap51-flash/ap51-flash) should be
used to transfer the image to the u-boot when the device boots up.

initramfs from TFTP
-------------------

The serial console must be used to access the u-boot shell during bootup.
It can then be used to first boot up the initramfs image from a TFTP server
(here with the IP 192.168.1.21):

   setenv serverip 192.168.1.21
   setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
   setenv bootargs 'console=ttyMSM0,115200n8 rootfstype=squashfs,jffs2 board=PAX1800 root=31:10 mtdparts=spi32766.0:768k(0:SBL1),64k(0:MIBIB),1664k(0:QSEE),64k(0:DEVCFG),128k(0:RPM),64k(0:CDT),64k(0:APPSBLENV),640k(0:APPSBL),256k(0:ART),28672k(inactive),28672k(inactive2),64k(custom),64k(0:KEYS),2304k(0:WIFIFW)'
   tftpboot <filename-of-initramfs-kernel>.bin && bootm

The actual sysupgrade image can then be transferred (on the LAN port) to the
device via

  scp <filename-of-squashfs-sysupgrade>.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/

On the device, the sysupgrade must then be started using

  sysupgrade -n /tmp/<filename-of-squashfs-sysupgrade>.bin
