Have any of the new ath79 target builds turned up at https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/ ? I seem to be unable to find them in that snapshot download directory.
Building them manually works fine, though.
No, because those are not built automatically, yet.
It is currently even marked "source only".
https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=blob;f=target/linux/ath79/Makefile;hb=HEAD#l9
It is still work in progress and no yet meant for general populace for downloading.
I would expect that at least the fixes at mkresin's staging tree should get merged first, before any images are provided for general populace. https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/staging/mkresin.git;a=shortlog
There is also no support for soc wireless currently...
Only pci attached wireless did work...
I started the work for TL-WR841N/ND V9 if someone is interested in helping I'll make a PR
on the first run I have this error and garbage after serial initialization

You could also share it only on your forked openwrt repo and i would take a look into.
How does your soc dtsi for qca9533 does look like?
I have started the work for tl-wr841v8 (ar9341) and tl-wdr3600 (ar9344).
If anyone is interested...
ath79-tl-wr841-v8
ath79-tl-wdr3600
9533 is based on QCA9531 maybe if I find some datasheet, the system is booting and sys led behaves properly, is not restarting but can't figure out the network without serial output
I'll upload to my github
I've put only the dts[i] files https://github.com/lucize/openwrt/tree/ath79841
I've copied the qca9557 to qca9553 and changed in some location but for sure some registers differs from 9557
I have a couple of wr841v11 which are very similar but currently no one with soldered serial...
Did you look into https://github.com/Deoptim/atheros for datasheet?
There is only a ds for qca9531 but should be very similar as you said...
I think you have to set the correct reference clock for a working serial...
base_baud = 2500000 -> looks like ref clock is set to 40MHz and your device uses a 25MHz ref clock or vice versa.
Look for a example into ar934x.dtsi and ar9341_tl-wr841-v8.dts.
Search for "ref" and try to set the clock correct...

You should set ref clock to 25000000 (25MHz) as in my dtsi and dts for wr841v8 and your serial will work...
Probably you shouldnĀ“t use qca9557 as base for qca953x because they are very different...
qca953x is more similar to ar934x.
If you have QCA9531 dtsi you can use that as 9533 is the same just without USB
If I had it maybe it booted from the first time 
ref clock worked
sidenote, I've read that
compatible = "gpio-keys-polled";
poll-interval = <20>;
are deprecated in favor of only
compatible = "gpio-keys";
1 Like
but now, the cpu clock is only 375 Mhz
Thanks.
did you change compatible of pll node to "qca,ar9340-pll"? This should be set to this...
compatible = "qca,ar9553-pll", "qca,qca9550-pll"; would be wrong...
take a look into "Documentation/devicetree/bindings/clock/qca,ath79-pll.txt" for valid values...
Correctly should it be set to compatible = "qca,ar9530-pll", "qca,ar9340-pll";
Probably reading of device tree binding could help you on your way...
cd to the linux-4.14.X directory and do find Documentation/devicetree/bindings/ -iname "*ath79*" for some ath79 specific dt bindings...
yes, I know the folder I've read for usb
using the 9340 pll is giving me 400 mhz, but that means that the device can be overclocked without u-boot 
as I saw my first boot had 600 mhz vs 550 mhz the default
i dont think so, only the calculated and shown cpu clock would be wrong...
Incorrect. It's just your clocks running faster. You will notice timing drift the longer the router is on.
so I fixed the oops, the pll, I have leds and yet again no traffic
can't figure out how to swap the devices
if I swap phy's on ethx directive they wont connect

swconfig shows the switch connected to eth0 on ar71xx and on mine on eth1
maybe I need to use the gmac directive ?
the mach file has this
ath79_setup_ar933x_phy4_switch(false, false);
ath79_register_mdio(0, 0x0);
/* LAN */
ath79_eth1_data.phy_if_mode = PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_GMII;

ath79_switch_data.phy_poll_mask |= BIT(4);

ath79_register_eth(1);

I've updated the dts[i] files, they are messy
