2013-09-18brcm47xx: update board detection patcheshauke
This is now the version which was send for mainline Linux kernel inclusion. The data needed to detection a board is now stored in init data. Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de> git-svn-id: svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk@38036 3c298f89-4303-0410-b956-a3cf2f4a3e73
2013-09-16brcm47xx: Add support for Huawei E970hauke
This patch adds support for Huawei E970 wireless gateway devices. It has been tested on an E970 labelled as T-Mobile web'n'walk Box IV. E960/B970 should work too, from what I know it's basically the same hardware. The device has a Broadcom BCM5354 SoC and a built-in 3G USB modem. It uses a hardware watchdog which needs GPIO-7 to be toggled at least every 1-2 seconds. This patch uses gpio_wdt module (see my previous patch today) to take care of this. Tested and works: 3G wan, wlan+LED, VLAN config, failsafe using reset button, image to be used for upgrade from OEM firmware's web interface Link to the wiki page I've created: <http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/huawei/e970> Issue: * lzma-loader crashes, so gzipped kernel is used. Presumably due to watchdog reset during kernel decompress.
