    This commit adds support for the NanoStation Loco M2/M5 XW devices
    on the ath79 target (support was long ago available on ar71xx).
    
    Specifications:
    
     - AR9342 SoC @ 535 MHz
     - 64 MB RAM
     - 8 MB SPI flash
     - 1x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, 24 Vdc PoE-in
     - AR8032 switch
     - 2T2R 5 GHz radio, 22 dBm
     - 13 dBi built-in antenna
     - POWER/LAN green LEDs
     - 4x RSSI LEDs (red, orange, green, green)
     - UART (115200 8N1) on PCB
    
    Flashing via TFTP:
    
     - Use a pointy tool (e.g., pen cap, paper clip) and keep the reset
       button on the device or on the PoE supply pressed
     - Power on the device via PoE (keep reset button pressed)
     - Keep pressing until LEDs flash alternatively LED1+LED3 =>
       LED2+LED4 => LED1+LED3, etc.
     - Release reset button
     - The device starts a TFTP server at 192.168.1.20
     - Set a static IP on the computer (e.g., 192.168.1.21/24)
     - Upload via tftp the factory image:
       $ tftp 192.168.1.20
       tftp> bin
       tftp> trace
       tftp> put openwrt-ath79-generic-xxxxx-ubnt_nanostation-loco-m-xw-squashfs-factory.bin
