All three PCIe ports are reported non working on Meraki MR42/MR52 boards
since kernel 6.1 with the issue of PCIe PHY link never coming up thus
no WLAN cards are available on the boards.
After debugging it seems that PCIe worked on 5.15 and older purely by
accident as device DTS was using /delete-property/ perst-gpios; in each
of the 3 PCIe nodes but there was no "perst-gpios" property in the SoC DTSI
as it was still using the older "perst-gpio" property so it was not getting
removed from the device DTS.
However, in kernel 6.1 commit ("ARM: dts: qcom-*: replace deprecated
perst-gpio with perst-gpios") updated all Qualcomm DTS-es to use the newer
"perst-gpios" and thus once ipq806x moved to 6.1 PCIe stopped working as
now that property was being dropped from the device DTS.
So, since the removal of PERST pins seems to have been wrong from the start
lets drop the property removal from MR42/MR52.

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

Download
Built firmware images are available for many architectures and come with a package selection to be used as WiFi home router. To quickly find a factory image usable to migrate from a vendor stock firmware to OpenWrt, try the Firmware Selector.
If your device is supported, please follow the Info link to see install instructions or consult the support resources listed below.
An advanced user may require additional or specific package. (Toolchain, SDK, ...) For everything else than simple firmware download, try the wiki download page:
Development
To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.
Requirements
You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.
binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.6+ rsync subversion unzip which
Quickstart
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -ato obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -ato install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfigto select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
maketo build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.
