Contributions summary:Imre primarily contributed to the OpenWrt firmware by updating and porting device tree support, specifically for the Linksys WRT1200AC and WRT1900ACS routers. This involved patching and updating device tree source (DTS) files for the armada-385 platform, adjusting GPIO configurations, and integrating the newer mwlwifi driver. Their work ensures proper device initialization, enabling features such as the boot counter, and aligning the firmware with the new functionalities offered by the modern hardware.
