Hi,
I could use some assistance in adding mainline support for this device https://www.notioni.com/productinfo/759146.html
It is running some fork of OpenWrt Chaos Calmer that isn't publicly accessible. The specs are:
CPU: MediaTek MT7621 880MHz
WIFI0: MediaTek MT7663 2T2R 802.11nac
WIFI1: Mediatek MT7603 2T2R 802.11 bgn
RAM: DDR3L 128MB
FLA: NAND 128MB
LTE: Marvel PXA1826 Cat.6 LTE
LAN: 4x GbE
I have made some progress and successfully built and ran a preliminary image, but there are a couple of issues:
1.) Wireless interfaces are inoperable, even when kmods have been loaded for it.
2.) The LTE module doesn't get initialized for some reason, thus no USB interfaces for it are detected.
3.) I managed to check the GPIO mapping for the LEDs from stock, but they don't seem to work in the compiled image. I don't have any known way of checking for the GPIO button mappings (wifi and reset) on stock.
Here's the serial output of the stock firmware:
And here's the output from OpenWrt:
Here's the dts file:

I hope someone could provide assistance in progressing this port. Please note that I have zero experience in adding a device into OpenWrt, so I made a lot of inferences from the available device dts and make files, choosing some that is as close to hardware as mine.
