This is needed for Turris 1.x uboot compilation that is failing if soft float ABI is used.

As described in a subsequent commit inner message:

The usage of SPE[^3] ISA extension allows CPUs with PowerPC e500v2 cores (used in Turris 1.x routers, NXP P2020RDB
boards, ...) to perform native operations on single[^4] and double precision floats stored in GPRs[^5] as well
as vector operations using the whole 64-bit size of CPU registers (whose upper 32 bits are inaccessible otherwise).[^6]
This enables programs to be compiled for these CPUs without the need for floating-point arithmetic translation
leading to better performance.

[^3]: signal processing engine
[^4]: applies to e500v1 as well
[^5]: general purpose registers

Fixes: 8babac21 ("patches/openwrt:
enable driver for Turris 1.x switch chip")

This patch was necessary only on OpenWrt 19.07, because the kernel
config CONFIG_OF_DMA_DEFAULT_COHERENT was disabled, but it should be
enabled by default [1] [2].

I can see that in OpenWrt 21.02 and newer versions the config is already
enabled, thus patch is no longer needed:

root@turris:/# zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_OF_DMA_DEFAULT_COHERENT
CONFIG_OF_DMA_DEFAULT_COHERENT=y

libgd-full has freetype support enabled which is now required
for the php7-mod-gd package.

php 7.4 changes the version, so a release bump is no longer necessary

Michal Vasilek authored 2 years ago and Josef Schlehofer committed 2 years ago

php7-mod-hash is now in the php7 package, so dependencies on that
package are dropped

Package iptables is split to more packages in master, in TOS 6.X
original dependencies are enough as they pull in the necessary
libraries already.

Both $(AUTORELEASE) and $(PKG_SRC_VERSION) (from luci.git) use the Git
log to determine releases and package timestamps.

Feeds are shallow cloned by default, resulting in an incomplete Git log
and therefore different local package versions than offered upstream.

This commits sets the default feeds to use `src-git-full` to solve that.

[apply it for Turris OS feeds.conf; modify compile_pkgs and
documentation in generate_common]

This config right now contains only kernel options for earlyprintk,
which makes it easier for UART debugging requested by kernel developers.

Add work in progress patch, which needs to be polished, so we can send
this to upstream later.

Fixes: #347
