This patch set adds support for the BCM53xx-based D-Link DIR-890L router to OpenWrt. It's one of the devices that DD-WRT would at one point support.
The kernel image grew bigger than what the built-in bootloader SEAMA loader could handle, so I had to first add BCM53xx ARM (Northstar) support to U-Boot, which is the first patch in the patch set. I don't know if the already supported DIR-885L also has this problem, I guess so. If it does, I can easily fix it up as well. (I added hooks for it and explanations on how to do it, pretty easily.) Now the built-in bootloader loads U-Boot and U-Boot will load the kernel. The built-in bootloader is in NOR flash and the image we create with U-Boot+kernel+rootfs is in the bigger NAND flash. The flash is standard OpenWrt split NAND partition using UBIFS for the rootfs on the NAND chip.
