Hardware
--------
SOC: MediaTek MT7988A (4x Cortex-A73)
RAM: 4 GiB DDR4
Flash: 128 MiB Winbond SPI-NAND
MMC: 8 GiB eMMC *or* microSD (cannot be used both)
ETH: 4x 1GE (1x WAN, 3x LAN)
2x SFP+ (10G, 5G, 2.5G, 1G)
USB: on-board USB 3.2 4-port hub
1x USB 3.2 port (type A connector)
1x M.2 for 4G/5G modem
2x mPCIe for additional modems
WiFi: optional MediaTek MT7996 Wi-Fi 7 module
(using 2x PCIe gen3 x2 on the mPCIe slots and 12V power)
Installation
------------
1. Decompress and write the sdcard image to a micro SD card and use that
to boot the R4 (both dip switches in upper position).
2. Use the bootloader menu accessible via the serial console to install
to SPI-NAND.
3. Switch to boot from SPI-NAND and install to eMMC.

Make use of recently added UBI support in MediaTek's ARM
TrustedFirmware-A on new MT7988 SoC.
Load fip from static UBI volume instead of fixed offset on SPIM-NAND
and SNFI.

Add minimalistic tool to allow releasing /dev/fit* devices which is
needed on sysupgrade when using the fitblk driver.
The package is hidden in menuconfig, it should only be selected by
adding it to the default package selection of boards using it.

Add 'fitblk' driver to replace the rejected/deprecated uImage.FIT
partition parser.
To use the new driver, add phandle /chosen/rootdisk and point it to
the MTD partition, UBI volume or block device holding the uImage.FIT.

In order to allow gradually migrating the boards currently using the
uImage.FIT partition (deprecated/rejected) parser to the new fitblk
driver, skip the partition parser code in case the new fitblk driver
(which serves the same purpose) is used.
As an indicator for the use of the new fitblk driver, check if the
/chosen/rootdisk property is present in the Device Tree.

The partition parser approach has been rejected upstream, it will be
replaced by a small block driver which is the solution suggestion by
upstream maintainers.
As the partition parser has only been used by the mediatek target, as
a first step, move it there.

Major changes between OpenSSL 3.0.13 and OpenSSL 3.0.14 [04-Jun-2024]
* Fixed potential use after free after SSL_free_buffers() is called.
[CVE-2024-4741]
* Fixed checking excessively long DSA keys or parameters may be very slow.
[CVE-2024-4603]
* Fixed an issue where some non-default TLS server configurations can cause
unbounded memory growth when processing TLSv1.3 sessions. An attacker may
exploit certain server configurations to trigger unbounded memory growth that
would lead to a Denial of Service. [CVE-2024-2511]
* New atexit configuration switch, which controls whether the OPENSSL_cleanup
is registered when libcrypto is unloaded. This can be used on platforms
where using atexit() from shared libraries causes crashes on exit

Backport initial LEDs hw control support. Currently this is limited to
only rx/tx and link events for the netdev trigger but the API got
accepted and the additional modes are working on and will be backported
later.
Refresh every patch and add the additional config flag for QCA8K new
LEDs support.
