Adding OpenWrt support for QNAP QHora-301W

For Developers
812

I know that you don't care about NSS builds but I want to tell you and to everyone else interested @anom3 @rmandrad that this method of loading AQR stock 10G FW to 0:ethphyfw1 and 0:ethphyfw2 partitions and then kernel loads the FW now finally works on NSS builds too.
Previously it simply failed for 10G-1 port with uniphy autoneg time out!.

Now we have it working finally on NSS builds too, when loaded from NVMEM.

root@QNAP:~# fw_printenv -n bootcmd
bootipq
root@QNAP:~# dd if=/dev/mtd10 | strings | grep v5
v5.4.C CIG WF-1945_0x0 060120 02:47:48
root@QNAP:~# dd if=/dev/mtd11 | strings | grep v5
v5.4.C CIG WF-1945_0x8 060120 02:47:48

Kernel log - finally 10G-1 port works OK on NSS builds too.

I've checked the latest QNAP 301w firmware - QHora-301W
2.4.5.032 build 20241029 but there is no newer AQR 10G FW version in it.
