*	ramips: adding registration for si3210	Giuseppe Lippolis	2016-12-20	1	-0/+13
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	The si3210 is a SLIC device providing a complete analog telephone interface and therefore frequently used in soho router. The si3210 have a native spi interface to be controlled by the CPU but currently there is no dedicated driver in lede. Adding a registration for this device in spidev allow to control the device in user space. This way of patching is also in line with the rationale of the spidev driver, see: http://marc.info/?t=148145791900001&r=1&w=2 The si3210 has been also added in the DWR-512 DT to properly describe the HW.

*	ramips: Add device DLINK DWR-512-B	Giuseppe Lippolis	2016-11-23	1	-0/+128
	The Dlink DWR-512-B modem is a ralink 5350 processor based embedding a 3G mini-pcie router. The oem JBOOT bootloader has to be replaced by a RT5350 SDK U-Boot such as https://github.com/stevenylai/ralink_sdk - U-Boot configured for the RT5350 256MiB SDR. Main reason to change the bootloader is the encrypted header used to store the kernel image. In this way an image can only be generated using the propietary binboy tool (included in the GPL distribution from Dlink). The binboy tool doesn't allow to modify the kernel/rootfs partition scheme. This is considered a big constraint (limited kernel size and inefficient usage of flash space). For interested people I pubblished the details of my investigation about the encrypted firmware header here: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/lede-dev/2016-October/003435.html Signed-off-by: Giuseppe Lippolis <giu.lippolis@gmail.com>
