Linus Walleij Oct. 12, 2023, 8:42 a.m. UTC 
This is a partial revert of the deletion of the IXP4xx
target: we restore the APEX boot loader so we can use it
for the NSLU2 and related targets.

The APEX upstream is as dead as it gets so I have applied
OpenWrts old patches on top of the never released
v1.6.10 version and forked it into an OpenWrt variant
on GitHub. If the upstream comes back alive I will
happily switch over to it.

The file refers to the external GitHub, I suppose when
integrating this patch the file should be copied to OpenWrts
file repository and the file link changed.

ChangeLog v2->v3:
- Build APEX from git URL.
- Use the Build/InstallDev makerule to build the binaries
  like all other boot loader do.
- Add PKG_LICENSE and PKG_LICENSE_FILES
- Add DEPENDS on !IN_SDK
ChangeLog v1->v2:
- Do not default to "y", instead make the device target
  select apex by default.
- Do not package the boot loader into the rootfs image.
  Who wants that.
