kernel: update kernel 4.4 to 4.4.69

2017-05-24T20:47:01+00:00

Bump the 17.01 tree kernel to 4.4.69. Trunk 4.4 and 17.01 4.4 have diverged, talked this
through with jow, he was okay with a clean diff against 17.01 and not a backported trunk
patch.

The following patches were applied upstream:

* 062-[1-6]-MIPS-* series
* 042-0004-mtd-bcm47xxpart-fix-parsing-first-block

Reintroduced lantiq/patches-4.4/0050-MIPS-Lantiq-Fix-cascaded-IRQ-setup, as
it was incorrectly included upstream thus dropped from LEDE, but subsequently
reverted upstream. Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for pointing me to it.

  Compile-tested on: ar71xx, ramips/mt7621, x86/64.

  Run-tested on: ar71xx, ramips/mt7621, x86/64.

It has been unused, and less useful than squashfs for cases where flash
space usage matters.

mediatek: enable support for vfpv4 and neon

2016-12-20T08:35:36+00:00

While researching for the armvirt target, I looked at the
existing arm platforms. It turns out that the mediatek target
with its sole MT7623N/A chip is sold as a "highly integrated
multimedia network router system-on-chip". To that end, it
lists support for the "NEON multimedia processing engine with
SIMDv2 / VFPv4 ISA support".



So this patch enables the CPU_SUBTYPE to use this information.
This should have the nice side effect that LEDE's phase2 builders
no longer need to built a separate "cortex-a7" target, so this
should free up some resources.
