This adds a patch to gluon to openwrt to linux.

The issue is theoretically still present up to the current mainline linux kernel and is still not fixed there yet.

Discussion on the patchset can be found here:

As it currently seems, a proper upstream patch needs more work.

Due to good luck and boot timing, the issue doesn't seem to occurr in OpenWrt 25.12 currently during the normal boot. It is still existing though and can be triggered by manually reloading the lantiq_gswip kernel module.

See here:

Link: openwrt/openwrt#20629

However, in OpenWrt 24.10 (which we are currently using), the bug is really annoying since it is triggered during bootup and lan3/lan4 do not come up at all.

So, since we are currently still using OpenWrt 24.10, we apply the patch as a hotfix here. Even though upstream would like to solve things differently, the patch still works and we go for it.
