The delta between SENTRY5 and BCM was already small due to BCM being
derived from SENTRY5; re-integrating the two avoids the maintenance
overhead of keeping them both in sync with bhnd(4) changes.
- Re-integrate minor SENTRY5 deltas in bcm_machdep.c
- Modify uart_cpu_chipc to allow specifying UART debug/console flags via
kenv and device hints.
- Switch SENTRY5 to std.broadcom
- Enabled CFI flash support for SENTRY5

A lot of these dinky atheros based MIPS boards don't have a nice, well,
anything consistent defining their MAC addresses for things.
The Atheros reference design boards will happily put MAC addresses
into the wifi module calibration data like they should, and individual
ethernet MAC addresses into the calibration area in flash.
That makes my life easy - "hint.arge.X.eeprommac=<addr>" reads from
that flash address to extract a MAC, and everything works fine.
However, aside from some very well behaved vendors (eg the Carambola 2
board), everyone else does something odd.
eg:
* a MAC address in the environment (eg ubiquiti routerstation/RSPRO)
that you derive arge0/arge1 MAC addresses from.
* a MAC address in flash that you derive arge0/arge1 MAC addresses from.
* The wifi devices having their own MAC addresses in calibration data,
like normal.
* The wifi devices having a fixed, default or garbage value for a MAC
address in calibration data, and it has to be derived from the
system MAC.
So to support this complete nonsense of a situation, there needs to be
a few hacks:
* The "board" MAC address needs to be derived from somewhere and squirreled
away. For now it's either redboot or a MAC address stored in calibration
flash.
* Then, a "map" set of hints to populate kenv with some MAC addresses
that are derived/local, based on the board address. Each board has
a totally different idea of what you do to derive things, so each
map entry has an "offset" (+ve or -ve) that's added to the board
MAC address.
* Then if_arge (and later, if_ath) should check kenv for said hint and
if it's found, use that rather than the EEPROM MAC address - which may
be totally garbage and not actually work right.
In order to do this, I've undone some of the custom redboot expecting
hacks in if_arge and the stuff that magically adds one to the MAC
address supplied by the board - instead, as I continue to test this
out on more hardware, I'll update the hints file with a map explaining
(a) where the board MAC should come from, and (b) what offsets to use
for each device.
The aim is to have all of the tplink, dlink and other random hardware
we run on have valid MAC addresses at boot, so (a) people don't get
random B:S:D❌x:x ethernet MACs, and (b) the wifi MAC is valid
so it works rather than trying to use an invalid address that
actually upsets systems (think: multicast bit set in BSSID.)
Tested:
* TP-Link TL_WDR3600 - subsequent commits will add the hints map
and the if_ath support.
TODO:
* Since this is -HEAD, and I'm all for debugging, there's a lot of
printf()s in here. They'll eventually go under bootverbose.
* I'd like to turn the macaddr routines into something available
to all drivers - too many places hand-roll random MAC addresses
and parser stuff. I'd rather it just be shared code.
However, that'll require more formal review.
* More boards.
in userland rename in-kernel getenv()/setenv() to kern_setenv()/kern_getenv().
This fixes a namespace collision with libc symbols.

implementations or no implementation on all platforms.
Some of these functions might be good ideas, but their semantics were unclear
given the lack of implementation, and an unlucky porter could be fooled into
trying to implement them or, worse, being baffled when something like
platform_trap_enter() failed to be called.
the ar71xx platform code should assume a uboot or redboot environment.
The current code gets very confused (and just crashes) on a uboot
environment, where each attribute=value pair is in a single entry.
Redboot on the other hand stores it as "attribute", "value", "attribute",
"value", ...
This allows the kernel to boot on a TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND from flash,
where the uboot environment gets setup. This didn't show up during a netboot
as "tftpboot" and "go" don't setup the uboot environment variables.
just for Redboot.
At some point we're going to need to build options for different
boot environments - for example, the UBoot setups I've seen simply
have the MAC address hard-coded at a fixed location in flash.
The OpenWRT support simply yanks the if_arge MAC directly from that
in code, rather than trying to find a uboot environment to pull it
from.
memory detected from Redboot, or overrides the "otherwise" case
if no Redboot information was found.
Some AR71XX platforms don't use Redboot (eg TP-LINK devices using
UBoot; some later Ubiquiti devices which apparently also use
UBoot) and at least one plain out lies - the Ubiquiti LS-SR71A
Redboot says there's 16mb of RAM when in fact there's 32mb.
A more "clean" solution will be needed at a later date.
* Implement a SoC probe function, from Linux, which determines the
SoC family, type and revision. This only probes the AR71xx series
SoC and (currently) panics on others.
* Migrate some of the AR71XX specific hardware init (USB device, determining
system frequencies) into using the cpuops introduced in an earlier commit.
Other SoC specific hardware stuff (per-device flush/WB, GPIO pin wiring,
Ethernet PLL setup, other things I've likely missed) will be introduced in
subsequent commits.
