This patch adds support for the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X-SFP and
improves support for the EdgeRouter X (PoE-passthrough).

Specification:
- SoC: MediaTek MT7621AT
- Flash: 256 MiB
- RAM: 265 MiB
- Ethernet: 5 x LAN (1000 Mbps)
- UART: 1 x UART on PCB (3.3V, RX, TX, GND) - 57600 8N1
- EdgeRouter X:
   - 1 x PoE-Passtrough (Eth4)
   - powered by Wallwart or passive PoE
- EdgeRouter X-SFP:
   - 5 x PoE-Out (24V, passive)
   - 1 x SFP (unknown status)
   - powered by Wallwart (24V)

Doesn't work:
* SoC has crypto engine but no open driver.
* SoC has nat acceleration, but no open driver.
* This router has 2MB spi flash soldered in but MT
   nand/spi drivers do not support pin sharing,
   so it is not accessable and disabled. Stock
   firmware could read it and it was empty.

Installation

via vendor firmware:
- build an Initrd-image (> 3MiB) and upload the factory-image
- initrd can have luci-mod-failsafe
- flash final firmware via LuCI / sysupgrade on rebooted system

via TFTP:
- stop uboot into tftp-load into option "1"
- upload factory.bin image

sorry for partly hijacking this thread but i'm a bit curious about the current status of this board since i recently got one myself.

at the moment i'm running the stock firmware and i have to say it is quite nice but there are some downsides and things i'm missing from lede/openwrt side and same goes for running lede/openwrt it has some really good parts but it is missing some stuff from stock firmware.

one thing i miss from lede/openwrt is the ease of setting up 6rd, tried it on edgeos and got it partly working but not very well so i gave up.

so i don't know if i want to swap over to lede/openwrt permanently (more or less) and it would have been really nice if you could have one of the two running firmware as lede/openwrt and the other one as the built in edgeos and then easily swap between them.

i assume there is some technical reason for why you can't have both.
can someone explain why?
is it the squashfs root on ubifs ?


if it was possible to easily run both and swap between them i would change right away and give lede a try. yes i know my way around electronics and can probably hookup the serial port and get that working but helps if i don't have to and have an easy way to fall back in case i screw-up
