Use the new kmod-phy-realtek driver for kernel 6.18 on
Gemtek W1700K.
The driver selection is gated using `KERNEL_PATCHVER` to
avoid build failures on 6.12.
The device tree selection is also gated by `KERNEL_PATCHVER`
to select the appropriate device tree per kernel version.
Once kernel 6.18 is tested stable for airoha these changes
can be simplified and the obsolete properties removed.

The vendor firmware checks for a bmt header in the last 528 erase blocks
of flash. The OpenWrt partition table did not respect that requirement,
and therefore the vendor and openwrt chainloader fight over those blocks
on every boot, potentially corrupting data stored in UBI blocks there.
This commit increases the size of the reserved_bmt partition to avoid
that fight.
Although the vendor bootloader only seems to touch the final 250 erase
blocks[1], the original vendor firmware system partition ended at
0x1be00000[2], so to be conservative, the consensus is to use that as
the end of mtd2 (ubi) partition and leave the last 528 blocks for mtd3
(reserved_bmt).
From https://openwrt.org/toh/gemtek/mxf-w1700k:
[1] OEM bootlog: [ 5.324337] bmt pool size: 250
[2] OEM bootlog: [ 5.478927] 0x000008600000-0x00001be00000 : "system"
Adds a compat_version to warn users to re-install to accomodate the
shrunken mtd2 ubi partition.
Fixed two nits suggested by Claude, zero padding a hex value and removed
an extra space.
Removed the wildcard setting of compat_version for other boards, as
suggested by Robert Marko, set compat_version only for the w1700k.

Device specification
--------------------
SoC Type: Airoha AN7581
RAM: 2x DDR4 Nanya NT5AD256M16E4-JR (1GB)
Flash: eMMC Macronix MX52LM08A11XVW (1GB)
Ethernet: 3x gigabit via AN7581, 1x 10g via AS21x1x, 1x SFP cage
Wi-Fi: MT7996 - BE19000
LEDs: 11 LED via 2x 74HC595 shift register
Button: Reset, WPS, WiFi
USB ports: 1x 2.0
Miscellaneous: 1x Power Monitor via RTQ6059, 2x FXS port
Device is unfused and is originally flashed with Airoha SDK bootloader
that require signed images.
Bootloader is username/password protected and use the leaked auth combo
that can be found online.
From the bootloadet instruction on how to flash custom bootloader are:
1. mmc erase 0 0x800
2. tftpboot 192.168.1.10:airoha/an7581/openwrt-airoha-an7581-nokia_valyrian-preloader.bin
3. mmc write $loadaddr 0x4 0xfc
4. tftpboot 192.168.1.10:airoha/an7581/openwrt-airoha-an7581-nokia_valyrian-bl31-uboot.fip
5. mmc write $loadaddr 0x100 0x700
It's also possible to use the Emergency Recovery procedure:
From powered OFF device:
1. Keep the reset button pressed (middle button)
2. Power on the device
3. Notice the "Press x" prompt
4. Press x
5. Notice the "C" char waiting for XMODEM load
6. Load the preloader binary with XMODEM protocol
7. Notice the "Press x to load BL31 + U-Boot FIP"
8. Press x
9. Notice the "C" char waiting for XMODEM load
10. Load the fip binary with XMODEM protocol
11. You are now in U-Boot loaded from serial
12. Follow normal procedure to flash bootloader
Due to BOOTROM limitation. the device can't have a standard GPT table
implementation. Because of this fixed-partitions are used to handle this.
U-Boot still doesn't have support for this (it's planned) and currently to flash
and load and image it's needed to write and read from static address in eMMC.
The GPT partition table follow Prpl guidelines with dual partition table with
kernel and rootfs split.
The address for kernel is 0xb00000 and the address for rootfs is 0x1b00000.

This device is pretty useless with the stock firmware as it requires an
account to completely set it up. Additionally, the vendor bootloader is
signed and uses Airoha/Mediatek's BBT/BMT for bad block management on
the flash. It does not support UBI, thus kernel updates are subject to
BMT/BBT which OpenWrt does not support. In turn, if a kernel update
happens and a block is marked bad in the process, the device will fail
to boot and will need to be recovered via serial.
The workaround is to chainload U-Boot in place of the kernel, as it
should not need frequent updates and thus should not cause BBT/BMT to
misbehave and soft-brick the device. Upstream U-Boot supports loading
a FIT image from UBI, so we create a UBI partition for the new u-boot
env, FIT image and factory data. This way, bad blocks are managed by UBI
instead, which will not soft-brick the device should a block be marked
bad during a normal OpenWrt update. Users wishing to update U-Boot can
do so, but should be prepared to recover if a block goes bad.
Because the device is not useful with stock firmware, this is a one-way
ticket for most users and reverting will not be documented.
The following steps can be used to install OpenWrt on the W1700K.
Connect to serial console. There is a Torx T10 screw underneath the QR
code printed onto the label. Then, pry between the gray and white
plastic, starting by the ports on the back. There are clips arount the
entire device. Starting closest to the screw next to the UART header,
TX - GND - VCC - N/A - RX. The bootloader can be interrupted by
pressing any key.
Configuring Vendor Bootloader and Installing U-Boot Chainloader:
The bootloader's default bootcmd will only run a signed image. However,
we can still bootm our own image from flash.
NOTE: The vendor's ethernet drivers are flaky. You may have to reboot
and try the tftpboot part several times for it to work.
- setenv one flash read 0x600000 0x1000000 \$loadaddr
- setenv two "; bootm"
- setenv bootcmd "$one$two"
- setenv one
- setenv two
- saveenv
- setenv serverip 192.168.1.10; setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1; tftpboot
0x89000000 openwrt-airoha-an7581-gemtek_w1700k-ubi-chainload-uboot.itb
- flash erase 0x600000 0x100000
- flash write 0x600000 0x100000 0x89000000
- reset
The device will now reboot into the U-Boot chainloader.
Loading the W1700K UBI Installer:
The installer can be downloaded at
https://github.com/hurrian/w1700k-ubi-installer/releases
- Boot the installer via the TFTP option in the U-Boot menu. This
process is automatic, though you may be prompted to answer some
questions.
- Once it is done, you may upgrade to your preferred build.
- For more information: https://github.com/hurrian/w1700k-ubi-installer
For those wishing to explore the stock firmware:
Rooting Stock FW (for making backups, recommended):
- Boot the router and watch serial console until presented with failsafe
mode. Enter it (f + enter).
- mount_root
- Change the root password (passwd).
- Open /etc/config/axon_platform_manager and set sshServerEnable,
localAccessEnable and remoteAccessEnable to 1.
- Search for "SSH". You'll find a long string with 3 matches such as
Enabled%25252c1%25252cSSH%Drop. Change any instances of "Disabled"
preceding SSH to "Enabled" and any instances of "Drop" to "Accept"
that follow SSH. Same for "Local SSH" and "Remote SSH".
- Set /etc/config/dropbear to:
config dropbear
option PasswordAuth 'on'
option RootPasswordAuth 'on'
option Port '22'
- Reboot.
- Connect 10g WAN port to existing network and SSH in with the password
you set.
- SSH into rooted stock fw.

Due to issues surrounding the implementation of the vendor BMT/BBT
on Airoha, upstream ATF + uboot has switched to UBI flash partitions.
However, some devices shipped on this platform are bootloader locked,
and thus it is impossible to replace ATF + uboot.
During testing for the Gemtek W1700K (#17869), sysupgrades from Linux
(which is unaware of the underlying BMT/BBT) would occasionally write
data into blocks which were remapped by the vendor uboot when it was
read on the following reboot, causing a soft brick.
An acceptable workaround [1],[2] was discussed where an intermediate
uboot would be written by the vendor uboot (which is aware of Airoha
BMT/BBT). This chainloader would then ignore the regions of flash
used by the vendor uboot, and store all relevant data inside of UBI.
UBI would then be used to handle bad block management. As the vendor
ATF + uboot do not read or interact with the UBI region, we would avoid
unwanted remaps from BMT/BBT.
This commit introduces support for building such a chainloader, by
packaging u-boot and DTS into a FIT image; to be flashed like a kernel.
Configuration for the Gemtek W1700K is provided as an example of how the
chainloader is used.
