Daniele Castro 0efbfef4f6 bcm63xx: A4001N A-000-1A1-AX: remove PSI (nvram) partition
ADB P.DG A4001N A-000-1A1-AX a.k.a. Telecom Italia ADSL2+ Wi-Fi N (AGPWI)
is a Telecom Italia braded router and it seems that there are no public
available unbranded versions of this router.

The stock Telecom Italia braded firmware has many partitions and the
partition layout changes with every firmware relase.

The PSI nvram partition is present in the stock firmware under the
"UNKNOWN" name but it's empty, full of FFs. Since removing partitions
does not cause problems with the stock firmware reflashing procedure,
I removed from the dts the PSI nvram partition from OpenWrt, expanded
the rootfs one and added the NVRAM partition contained in the
cfe bootloader.

Furthermore this router's flash needs to be entirely reprogrammed
and a new generic bcm6328 cfe must be flashed to boot OpenWrt. The
same process takes place when reflashing the stock firmware.

Here follows the original flash layout for AGPWI_1.1.0_013, the last
stock Telecom Italia braded firmware for which we have root
credentials (admin/riattizzati).

Flash layout:

Section 00 Type BOOT       Range 0x00000000-0x00020000 MaxSize 0x00020000
        No more information.

        Checksum 0x0001255E Counter 0x000004D3 Start Offset 0x00000000

Section 06 Type UNKNOWN    Range 0x00FF0000-0x01000000 MaxSize 0x00010000
        No more information.

Total 7 sections found.

The last AGPWI firmware relase should be AGPWI_4.0.6 and it has much more
partitions than AGPWI_1.1.0_013.

The cfe partition in the stock firmware is 0x00020000 bytes long unlike the
OpenWrt dts in wich it's 0x00010000 bytes long because from 0x00010000 to
0x00020000 in the stock cfe there are only 00s and also because the cfe must
anyway be reflashed with a generic bcm6328 cfe 0x00010000 bytes long to
run OpenWrt.
