I don’t know, I don’t have the device myself so can’t test, but let’s hear from others on this thread what their findings are.
Regarding your nand chip, it will require a bunch of patches to read 5 bytes IDs, enable OTP support, and >10 patches in between..
Then we still have the issue of the qpic-spi-snand driver which only supports 4 and 8-bits ECC.
I’ve taken a look at U-boot, they’re simply ‘faking’ it to be a 4-bits ECC chip in source.
No, that device has a chip from the ipq8074 family and the nand controller is different with a different driver which does support that chip. The one in ipq5018 and ipq9574 is relatively new and its driver was only recently upstreamed and will need to mature..
Same, RA72.

will check back tomorrow, need to sleep.
this looks good. It looks like you flashed it, correct? (after loading the initramfs image)
if so, can you confirm whether the steps documented in this post are correct?
Only the last command is wrong, it is missing an "r"
sysupgade is correct sysupgrade
And the xmir patcher, perhaps you can elaborate on the commands so I can add it to the commit message?
The xmir-patcher options are:
Thanks for the reply, no I haven't checked anything. This is currently my main and only router, and I do not wish to brick it somehow.
What is the command to check the chip I have?

Is that a gg? :x
FML 
Been waiting for years for it to be supported, and when it's close mine is not supported.
Sorry didn't went though all the messages, is it possible that it could be working in the future? Or no way?
And thanks for all the work and testing done here.
It will require some work but I don’t see why it can’t be supported
Means there's still some hope left
