@QAuge It was just my working branch. Patch itself is for xDSL version. Naming wrong, but right content. Hope 
In any case you can drop my changes to dts. Only tx-delay = <3>; and fixed-link sections are important.

So i have tryed the following combination:
- the newest (from 11.07.2019) openwrt + the pull/2060/head:pr001-eb904x (and pull/2061/head:pr002-eb904x_uboot + pull/1885/head:pullreq but the last both are not important)
- i do not use memdev
- the "Add fixes for 4.19 integration (dirty)." commit https://github.com/Quallenauge/ralink_inic/commit/6523ed0bc093530574e93becf5ae22c9e9a819ce post 153
- the pcdu.patch from post 155 fix the dts issus (inside the patch it called VGV952CJW33-E-IR.dtsi not VGV952CJW33-E-IR.dts but i do not split into VPE SMP)
- using the "device_type = "memory";" code
After starting the WLAN the router stops working. I only have response on the console. but it does not reboot.

...Hm, for me the thing isn't black and white. I rebased and integrated the patches and uploaded them here:
master-lede_rebased_4.19
When I built an image and test it, the driver sometimes boots, and sometimes the box stalls and reboots due the watchdog. It hardly seems that this is an timing or synchronization issue (or both ).
@kovz I'm waiting once you get your setup up and running and after you had time to digging into the code.

Super! I still haven't possibility to test it on my own 
Squash commits is a good idea! I just tried to make them more granular and clear.
Sorry i had to work, but i make a build from post 168:
I do only short test these test looks good it works and i get a connection on 2,4 and 5 GHz but more tests
tomorrow. (speedtest and SQM test)
On small think it does not work on boot it must be start manuell, i think the reason are the missed 10s delay in the init script. (the network are not ready) but screenlog etc tomorow

So I'm rather new to OpenWrt, managed to compile a sysupgrade from master-lede_rebased_4.19.
First of all: Thanks for all the great work that has been done, I bought this device for 3€ of Ebay and running OpenWrt it seems to be way better than my old FritzBox.
Back on topic, I flashed my image and at first glance everything it's working, but not the LCD / touch panel.
The early 2018 image linked on the Wiki page had working panel which could be activated by touching the panel.
With the current image I can't reactivate the LCD once it turns of.
Where can I find more documentation on how the LCD / touch panel actually works, how to modify its content / let it be active forever etc?
Thanks
AFAIK this is pretty much undocumented, but it's not exactly difficult to explain.
The LCD runs off lcd4linux which in turn has its configuration in lcd4linux.conf. lcd4linux itself is sufficiently well documented. If you just run lcd4linux, it will stay on forever, it has no reason to turn off.
The other item is lcdcontroller which is a LUA script written by @QAuge (I presume). It checks the touchpad for (any) touch and, with some timeouts, turns on/off the LCD and, with some delay, even stops lcd4linux.
(The reason it stops lcd4linux is that the lcd4linux.conf has some mistakes that make it use heaps of CPU. It's easy to fix the configuration so stopping lcd4linux becomes unnecessary, but it was never picked up in here. I tried working on lcd4linux and even an lcdcontroller replacement that doesn't need LUA, but I eventually gave up because busybox's incredibly limited tool substitutions and even my Easybox itself were fighting me every step of the way. With all the improvements recently I should give it another shot.)

Thank you for outlining your process. I am a just bit confused, though. Built this way, the packages relating to the INIC and the LCD/touchpad are not in the built image and have to be manually installed after the fact?
Also, what is the reason for compiling uboot? Do the newly built images not work with the stock uboot anymore?
I am happy to confirm, that the master-lede_rebase_4.19 branch builds fine, DSL works (even on a ds-lite connection), I don't use the WiFi since I have a "dumb access point" taking care of that.

Did I make a mistake in compiling the image?
Hi @Plonk34.
I had some time do digging into this issue, which I was able to reproduce thankfully to your description.
The wifi iNIC driver is a ticking time bomb IMO. So much legacy code...
Reason for the crash was, that the network driver framework thought, the wl001 it's part of an bridge,
because it has the IFF_BRIDGE_PORT set. If so, it assumed that the network device has set an rx_handler_data, which obviously doesn't was the case. With my limited knowledge of the network stack,
I added some printks here and there and then I found the reason within the inic code.
Here the priv_flag was set:
new_dev_p->priv_flags = INT_MBSSID; /* we are virtual interface */
After checking what 'INT_MBSSID' means I found this one:
#define INT_MBSSID 0x0200
which maches exactly the priv_flag of
IFF_BRIDGE_PORT = 1<<9,
So our driver interferes with the upstream code ... :-/
So I changed this with the few free bit flags and the driver seems to work:
// !! Be careful to not interfere with enum netdev_priv_flags definition in linux/include/linux/netdevice.h !!
#define INT_MAIN 0x0
#define INT_MBSSID 1<<29
#define INT_WDS 1<<30
//#ifdef MESH_SUPPORT
//#define INT_MESH 0x500
//#endif // MESH_SUPPORT //
Note, this is way away from perfect, just a dirty workaround. The real solution would be to rework the whole driver...
Guys, quick question. I would like to take a stab at some auxiliiary stuff (mostly the LCD/Touchpad and maybe the Wifi LuCI interface). However, compiling an image from scratch with my current setup takes me the better part of the day, and then I'm still not certain if I did it correctly. Can someone maybe provide a recent ready-to-flash image including the LCD and Wifi packages/modules? I would greatly appreciate it.
@QAuge Thanks !
And you have my great respect, because this looks reale difficuld to find it.
I agree but the always question are: who should do it ?
I am on the level that i can write a "driver" that printout "Hello World" and i fear that is the level for the next time because i do not work inside a Computerbranche and i have no freetime at the moment.
For this reason i am very happy when works with the "old dirty code".
@cosydog
You need some other command line parameter. Take a look inside:
https://github.com/Quallenauge/Easybox-904-XDSL/blob/master-lede_rebased_4.19/target/linux/lantiq/files/arch/mips/boot/dts/VGV952CJW33-E-IR.dts
on the beginning you have to change
from
bootargs = "console=ttyLTQ0,115200";to
bootargs = "console=ttyLTQ0,115200 mem=116M phym=128M vpe1_load_addr=0x87e00000 vpe1_mem=2M maxvpes=1 maxtcs=1 nosmp";The background are: This Processor have not 2 cores it have two VPEs (Virtual Processing Elements and each of them have 9 Threads (= TC))
These VPEs can be used as:
separated cores like SMP
or
you can use one VPE as normal CPU an one VPE for "some" Firmware.
For the Lantiq SLIC telefon support it is required that a Voice-de/encoding-firmware are run on one of the VPEs. (It called VMMC = no idea what are the correct words)
These Firmware will be loaded by the vmmc driver if you have add these keyword inside bootargs =
mem=116M phym=128M vpe1_load_addr=0x87e00000 vpe1_mem=2M maxvpes=1 maxtcs=1 nosmp
An other thing for display: you should use the display driver from here:
because the standard driver works only on SMP.
See here: https://github.com/Plonkbong/openwrt-feeds-easybox904-driver/commit/b872d1f4591c1db6d8efa9ef7553fb5d0e399a51
In my opinion it is will be a good idea to split the devices withb Lantiq SLIC like this device or O2-Box 6431 into 2 like SMP and voice support.
As i have do inside post 136 like http://sprunge.us/vD2n7V but current it will not work.
An first these device should add to the upstream openwrt.
