Is there a viable way to "sysupgrade" from ar71xx to ath79?

First things first - sysupgrade is possible (be it with -F option).

The wmac path however changed, it has to be adjusted from "qca95xx_wmac"
to "platform/ahb/ahb:apb/18100000.wmac".

Yeah, this is troublesome, but at least it can be automated...

Another aspect was the LED configuration, as LED naming is very
inconsistent and often differs from ar71xx. Some LEDs are now not
included in UCI configuration. >
So you either need to delete (and recreate) them ore just dump your
'/etc/config/system' and recreate it using "config_generate".

Is it possible to have uci-defaults/ to fix those on upgrade (i.e. when it detects ar71xx-style traces in the system)? As well as the wmac path?

Because a _lot_ of people will need to do ar71xx->ath79.

Of course, it could be config-based, so that those who don't need it, don't waste any FLASH/RAM.

For anyone interested, there is a downstream issue at the Gluon project
regarding this topic. [1]
