WIFI eeprom:
As discussed, it is impossible for nand and spi flash platforms to have the eeprom data available from mtd. I suggested to load the eeprom from user-space. I've looked into regular firmware loading but this is only possible when using modules. I've created a sysfs entry that allows reading and writing the eeprom data to the platform data. After loading the eeprom data I rely on pci-hotplug support to disable the bogus pci device and rescan the bus (with fixups and all). Because hotplug is not available, an init script is created that performs the copy from mtd to platform data. I think it is best to eventually move the sysfs functions to dev_wifi_athxk.c file, this would get rid of the external to the ath9k platform data.
SPI flash:
It seems that the spi-xway driver is not really working. It causes my kernel to crash in all sorts of ways. I added to bitbang SPI to be able to the calibration data mention above.
I've kept the original mtd partitioning that Netgear uses.
Buttons/LED:
Both buttons are working properly. Two leds are not enabled: The red internet led is connected to the pci_gnt1 pin... I can't disable it because then DMA stops working.
The green wifi led is connected to an unknown atheros gpio.

moves the linux partition, removes the config partition and the
buttons settings have small adjustments.

The VLAN mapping on the ARV4520PW board is the following:
port on Router: | VLAN in software:
LAN 1 | 3
LAN 2 | 2
LAN 3 | 1
LAN 4 | 0
DSL | 4
So LAN4 is not VLAN4 but VLAN0 (VLAN4 is DSL port) -> set "3 2 1 0 5t" as default switch config.

A power-enable toggle gpio is not available, it is always on and protected with a resettable fuse.

With this patch it is possible to generate uboot environment config file
inside lantiq target. Currently it is only supporting GIGASX76X board.
uboot environment config is used by fw_printenv fw_setenv tools.

While the disadvantage is less available flash space, it's easy and
safe to flash without opening the device.
Going back to the original firmware is also possible.
This patch add two firmware utilities, mkbrncmdline and mkbrnboot.
mkbrncmdline patches the uncompressed kernel so the registeres a0 to
a3 are initialized and the memory size is passed in.
mkbrnboot takes the lzma compressed kernel and squashfs images and
creates a firmware image that can be flashed using the BRN-BOOT
recovery kernel, which is booted by holding both buttons when
powering up the device and will listen on http://192.168.2.1.
The firmware file from bin/lantiq/ to use is
openwrt-lantiq-danube-ARV4525PW-BRNDTW502-brnImage
The BRN-BOOT recovery kernel does size-check the image, so if it's
too big to fit into flash it will complain accordingly.
A second patch is needed to make the wired network interface work
since there is no u-boot to pre-initialise it.

* fixes leds
* adds all leds found on the sx763 board
* removes board_config from flash layout because wireless data is stored in kernel (ath5k)
* fix button handling
