Hi,
my big mistake was working with trunk
remade the patching after downloding the right openwrt last stable release: v18.06.1 (is it right?)
Worked fine.
EDITED: working on trunk with target system as Atheros ATH79 too
Bests
P.

Its like I lost a PHY in between the two set ups, see kernel boot logs, and following airgateway-pro setup its
like I am using mdio1 to connect gemac0 to the router and the speed is not GMII1000 nbt seems like 100 !!?? The router seems to work fine
in fact eth0 is displayed as 1000
[ 783.878291] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready

root@OpenWrt:/# [ 832.624377] eth0: link down
[ 838.235268] eth0: link up (1000Mbps/Full duplex)
I can use both serial or ssh throught eth0 but its like I cannot get the second rj45 socket to work.
I tried different switch config options in etc/config/network but I cannot get them to work.
What Am I missing ??
I noticed that openwrt/target/linux/ar71xx/files/drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/ag71xx/ag71xx_ar7240.c
contains references to ar934x but I wasnt able to figure out how to trigger them for my soc9330.
could be this one the problem or should I try some different special
etc/config/network/ switch config lines or some particular uci setup in etc/board.d/02_network ?
when I connect to router through eth0 (lan) dmesg gives:
[ 857.471148] device eth0 entered promiscuous mode
[ 857.475277] br-lan: port 2(eth0) entered blocking state
[ 857.480299] br-lan: port 2(eth0) entered forwarding state
but swconfig dev eth0 show gives:

ok port2 in br-lan refers to the br-lan itself connectiong to router by wifi gives

[ 1984.291605] br-lan: port 1(wlan0) entered forwarding state
So what about the switch and his ports ?? Any insight appreciated.
Updates
using iperf3 I verified that the actual spped of my rj45 plug is mii
Making some really random change to
openwrt/target/lunix/files/drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/ag71xx/ag71xx_ar7240.c-
I ended up having
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 16 08:15 br-lan -> ../../devices/virtual/net/br-lan
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 eth0 -> ../../devices/platform/ag71xx.1/net/eth0

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 16 08:15 wlan0 -> ../../devices/platform/ar933x_wmac/net/wlan0
but when attacching cable to second rj45 plug I get

Everything seems to me out of synch with the openwrt wiki and everything above ? any insight ?
Its like I got a bonus 5 port on the switch that at this point I don't know if its a real one or just software ?
I'll try to see if I can get the swconfig tool to set the two interfaces and have the router working as a dumb AP as per my initial idea.
Updates
modified a bit more the openwrt/target/lunix/files/drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/ag71xx/ag71xx_ar7240.c
strange that having in my openwrt build a premade etc/config/wireless configuration file
was giving me strange boot up problems, a new thing to investigate
I am not sure about ethernet working right now. So far I can reach the router by wifi
but what is strange to me is 
root@OpenWrt:/# dmesg | grep eth0
[ 1.478990] eth0: Atheros AG71xx at 0xba000000, irq 5, mode:GMII

I just wanted to mirror eth0 plug to second available (not sure yet !!) Rj45 plug
Now I have strange ports on bridged interface !!
Let's see what happen next.
In the meanwhile if aybody working with ar934x platform could/would share his experience I would really appreciate it
I think I'll mark this topic as closed. The rewiring seems to work and I am able to mirror traffic
solution is here: Swconfig versus etc/config/network
2 Questions remain open
1st Swconfig versus etc/config/network
its about how to have the righ UCI and Luci config for this setting
2nd [Solved] Router-set-up advertising
its about how to set up router advertising or enabling answer to arp request by this
configuration SOLVED was bad switch configuration file
Both question have their own topic open at the moment
Help is needed
Thanks to everyone
