The Fritzbox 3490, 5490 and 7490 devices have a Renesas µPD720202
USB3 PCIe device, which requires an endian switch for PCIe slave
devices. The flag and setting is not implemented in the available
patches. Since adding this setting would break other devices,
a DTB setting lantiq,switch-pcie-endianess is added for selective
enablement.

For using the second wifi which is on another SoC, adding port 5
to the device tree is needed. The device tree entry for the 3390
WASP remote processor is added too.
Network script is adjusted to include the port to WASP.

This adds support for the Fritzbox 7490 device. It contains two
SoCs, one Lantiq without WiFi and one QCA9558 with 2.4GHz
and 5 GHz WiFi. Only the Lantiq has access to the flash memory,
the Atheros runs fully from RAM and is booted by using a remoteproc
kernel module.
The devices were manufactured with varying NAND chips which
requires Micron and non-Micron versions of the images.

Specifications:
 - SoC: Lantiq 500 MHz
 - RAM: 256 MB
 - Storage: 512 MB NAND, 1MB FLASH
 - Wireless, separate SOC QCA9558 with 128MB RAM:
   · Qualcomm-QCA9558 w/ 3×3 MIMO for 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n
   · Qualcomm-QCA9880 w/ 3×3 MIMO for 5GHz 802.11a/ac
   · AG71xx ethernet
 - Ethernet: Built-in AR 803x, 7 port 4 phy switch,
   4x 1000/100/10 port, Port 5 is fixed and connected to the WASP SOC
 - Renesas µPD720202 USB3 PCIe, requires firmware binary on the device
 - VDSL2 modem

Unsupported:
 - DECT and ISDN telephony

Installation:
Check which NAND the device has by using the following procedure with
stock firmware:
Go to to http://<fritzbox_ip>/support.lua, download the support data
file and search for string "NAND device" to get the manufacturer kernel
output.
Use Micron image if Micron is displayed otherwise the non-Micron image.
Use the eva_ramboot.py script to boot the initramfs image. Follow the
procedure to interrupt booting by ftp into 192.168.178.1 within
5 seconds after poweron.
Then transfer the sysupgrade image to the device and run sysupgrade to
flash it to the NAND.
For making USB work, an renesas xhci firmware file (e.g. v2026) is
needed and it should be copied to /lib/firmware/ (file name
renesas_usb_fw.mem).
For booting WASP, build the ATH79 target x490 WASP image and copy it
to /lib/firmware (file name wasp-image.bin). Configuration needs to
be applied after boot. The WASP SoC has no persistent storage.
WASP booting also requires the network boot firmware ath_tgt_fw1.fw
which is found when the AVM stock firmware is extracted. Copy it to
/lib/firmware (file name netboot.fw).

The shell hackery in 11-ath10k-caldata is there because different
devices do not have the same offset for caldata but 0x4408 is the
start data. The shell prints the urlader partition in hex and trys
to find the hex start and extracts it.
While analyzing the urlader no fixed place or offset to the start
of caldata was found. Better trying to find a structure for urlader
or a smarter way of finding the caldata offset.

This adds support for the Fritzbox 5490/5491 devices. They contain

and 5 GHz WiFi. Only the Lantiq has access to the flash memory,
the Atheros runs fully from RAM and is booted by using a remoteproc
kernel module. Both devices have fiber WAN ports.

   · AG71xx ethernet
 - Ethernet: Built-in AR 803x, 7 port Lantiq gswip switch,
   4x 1000/100/10 port (additional qca8334 switch for 2 ports), Port 5 is
   fixed and connected to the Wireless SOC
 - Renesas µPD720202 USB3 PCIe, requires firmware binary on the device
 - VDSL2 modem
 - AT 8033 based AON fiber port (5490) or GPON fiber port (5491)

Unsupported:
 - DECT and ISDN telephony
 - Two ethernet ports (on extra switch) and fiber port not working
