Rafał Miłecki d369d92fc7 bcm47xx: add support for kernel 5.4
Ethernet, switch, LEDs, buttons, USB, sysupgrade & LuCI were
successfully tested on BCM4706.

WARNING: Hack for BCM4710 adding BCM4710_PROTECTED_FILL_TLB() to the
local_r4k_flush_cache_sigtramp() could not be ported. That function has
been dropped in:
commit adcc81f148d7 ("MIPS: math-emu: Write-protect delay slot emulation pages")
commit 3315b6b336c8 ("MIPS: Delete unused flush_cache_sigtramp()")
it's unsure if that chipset will still work reliably.

Subject: [PATCH] fork_cacheflush
On ASUS WL-500gP there are many unexpected "Segmentation fault"s that
seem to be caused by a kernel. They can be avoided by:
1) Disabling highpage
2) Using flush_cache_mm in flush_cache_dup_mm
For details see OpenWrt ticket #2035 https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/2035
