Keenetic Giga 3 support and, perhaps, some other Keenetic(s)

Greetings, gentlemen (and ladies)!

I've noticed that LEDE already supports some Keenetic routers like Keenetic Viva
https://lede-project.org/toh/hwdata/zyxel/zyxel_keenetic_viva_rev._b

And it would have been great and awesome if the LEDE project supported the majority of Keenetic product line, so that millions of users could enjoy quality software like yours without that somewhat often bug-touch originating from stock firmware.

I do have a Keenetic Giga 3 to "play" with, although I understand that HwNAT is unsupported by LEDE at the moment while stock firmware embraces such support.

Some clues regarding leds, buttons and other picks for firmware building setup I've found so far can be seen here:

N.B. Me personally and other users would be grateful for LEDE enhancing support to these devices. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help with such a task.

I'm trying to add support for this device: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/4587
