Are there any devices out there that support bonded DSL under openwrt?

Hi,
I live in a small unit, so the usual advice to have a separate VDSL modem,
router and ATA isn't great space wise.
Is there an all-in-one VDSL modem + router + ATA that would be worth
targeting?
for DSL on OpenWrt, lantiq is your only option. The default image ships with
a DSL firmware, so it's working out of the box. But it's common for users to
replace it for better performance, see [0].
There're a few devices which have even the ata working via asterisk, but if
you're going asterisk you might as well forget about that analogue crap :P
As far as supported devices go, the BT homehub v5a is the only one with 5ghz
wifi, which is why it's still a popular device.
The next best thing seems to be the fritzbox 7530 (the older model, NOT the
ax variant), which is more powerful device. While it's supported, the newer
dsl chipset isn't. There's work going on to change that though [1].
The fritzbox 7520 (aka 1&1 homeserver) seems to be the same hardware, it can
even be flashed to the vendor 7530 firmware. And that's rather cheap compared
to the 7530. That'll be my choice if you don't mind using some not-yet-merged
patches.
Cheers,
Andre

I am happy to purchase a spare one for anyone on the mailing list and I'm a
software engineer who has done minor kernel fixes.
Thanks
