patches: add support for Zyxel NWA1121

[CodeFetch]

Oliver gave me some of these devices.
This patch adds support for them.

@Dark4MD I'd really like to have an image for them. I haven't tested it. Let's see what Jenkins says...

[Dark4MD]

i tried building it on my local build machine. first try i got an error (without verbose so i did not see the error), second try the build process waited for me to answear if he should build an image for this device and i answered with y and it continued:
Zyxel NWA1121 support (ATH79_MACH_NWA1121) [N/y] (NEW) y
Here is the resulting image for you to try:

@Dark4MD Thank you very much. Unfortunately I don't have access to your Google drive. Please use e.g. https://transfer.sh instead.

Sry was my first time public sharing a file after switch from onedrive to google drive.

Thank you very much. Unfortunately the patch writer did not know about partitioning in OpenWrt. Thus I need to change the layout later.

[AiyionPrime]

Codefetch may unblock this, if he changed the layout.

[Dark4MD]

Someone is working on support for this device an even for the ATH79 Target :D
openwrt/openwrt#4037

Oh, just saw that he is one of us XD Explains a lot

[AiyionPrime]

Looks like @s-2 's upstream contribution right now just needs an updated commit message?
That would imply e.g. @CodeFetch could test it?

[AiyionPrime]

@CodeFetch was the request to merge this into master intentional? Shouldn't we start with nightly?

[CodeFetch]

@AiyionPrime No, this is just kept open for reference.
We only have 10 or so NWA1121-NI (single band, consumer), but 70 NWA5123-NI (dual band, enterprise with bootloader locked). For the latter a special firmware format is needed openwrt/openwrt#4420 and s-2 is working on a device support PR. NWA1121-NI is not so important atm.

Looks like @s-2 's upstream contribution right now just needs an updated commit message?

Is there anything that should be improved regarding the commit messages of #4037?

I had tested NWA-1121-NI with gluon months ago, meanwhile the device vanished from the map since I had to flash it back to OpenWrt for testing changes made to the PR.

[Neustradamus]

I hope a merging in OpenWrt...

[AiyionPrime]

@s-2 @CodeFetch openwrt/openwrt@251ecfe was merged 16 days ago.

Time to rebase this accordingly and reduce it to a gluon-only patch.

[AiyionPrime]

@CodeFetch I suppose a 'backport' into this PR would be pretty easy given that 22.03 isn't that far from master yet.

But @s-2 and me came to the conclusion that we won't do that for this device.

Do you intend to?
If so let me know, else I'd close this.

[s-2]

Current state of gluon patch is here: https://github.com/s-2/gluon/tree/zyxel_nwa11xx
This would only apply to gluon after switching to the OpenWrt 23.xx release branch one day (or backporting the devices via site).

[Neustradamus]

@s-2: I hope!

[AiyionPrime]

This needs a rebase, if this should ever happen.
