Kernel: bump to 4.4.44

2017-02-06T19:13:06+00:00

Bump kernel to 4.4.44. Compile-tested on ar71xx, ramips/mt7621 and x86/64.

.44 has been run-tested on the 17.01 branch here on ar71xx and mt7621.

ramips: fix Airlink AR725W factory image build

2017-02-04T11:54:40+00:00

The factory image can't be bigger than 3328 KByte. If the image is
bigger than that, the gemtek-header tool throws an error and breaks
the build.

Make sure the output file to which the gemtek header should be added
exists and wasn't removed during the check-size step because of it
size. This will prevent hard errors in case the factory image is to big
similar to what is done for sysupgrade images.

ramips/rt288x: switch CPU_TYPE to 24kc

2017-01-24T12:35:09+00:00

While rt288x only has a MIPS 4KEc processor, it implements the MIPS32r2
architecture just like the 24Kc, so the instruction set should be 100%
compatible.
Switching it to 24kc allows it to share the package architecture with a
lot of other targets instead of creating a special case, saving
buildbot resources.

ramips: Added Onion Omega2 and Omega2+

2017-01-15T16:43:14+00:00

This patch adds support for the Onion Omega2 and Omega2+ (https://onion.io)

Specifications:
- SoC: MediaTek MT7688AN (580MHz, ramips)
- Omega2
  - RAM: 64MB DDR
  - Storage: 16MB NOR SPI flash onboard
- Omega2+
  - RAM: 128MB DDR
  - Storage: 32MB NOR SPI flash onboard + microSD slot
- Wireless: Built into MT7688AN (mt76) with onboard 1x chip antenna and u.FL connecter
- Ethernet: 1x100M pins on Omega2 & Omega2+, can use Ethernet Expansion and an Omega Dock to get a physical Ethernet port
- Strongly recommend using the Omega2 & Omega2+ with a Dock (Expansion Dock, Power Dock, Arduino Dock 2, Mini Dock)
  - All Docks Provide:
    - Micro-USB port to provide power to the Omega
      - On the Expansion and Mini Docks, can also access the terminal (UART0) via serial
    - USB 2.0 socket connected to Omega
  - Just the Expansion Dock, Power Dock, and Arduino Dock 2 provide:
    - Omega GPIO breakout
    - Allows for connection of Omega Expansions:
      - Ethernet Expansion
      - Relay Expansion
      - PWM Expansion
      - OLED Expansion
      - Ethernet Expansion
      - Proto Expansion
      - Cellular Expansion

ramips: Add I2C driver to the default kernel config

2017-01-15T16:43:05+00:00

I made a commit that added the RTC driver to the kernel config with
the intent that it would fix hctosys. Unfortunately while the RTC
driver is in there, it's connected through I2C, the driver for which
comes in module form and is thus loaded late. After this commit, it
works fine.

kernel: backport MIPS changes introducing a separate IRQ stack

2017-01-15T17:25:54+00:00

Prevents crashes when IRQs arrive when the current kernel stack context
already contains deeply nested function calls, e.g. when stacking lots
of network devices on top of each other
