Add ssc337de_lite_zte-k543 device profile (ZTE K543, SC401AI, MT7601U Wi-Fi)

[tagbug]

Adds a device profile for the ZTE K543 PTZ camera — SigmaStar SSC337DE (Infinity6B0), SC401AI sensor, 16 MiB NOR, and MT7601U USB Wi-Fi.

The board needs a few device-specific settings beyond the standard SSC337DE lite configuration:

• MT7601U initialization requires a GPIO 14 toggle before loading mt7601sta; the device-specific wireless overlay implements this and is tracked in firmware-drift.json.
• Pan/tilt motors use GPIO 0-7 via gpio-motors.
• IR-cut uses GPIO 79/78, with the IR backlight on GPIO 52.
• Speaker enable is GPIO 15, active low.
• The profile selects SC401AI explicitly and excludes unused sensor/NFS kernel modules.

Tested on a physical ZTE K543: the firmware builds, flashes and boots successfully; SC401AI video, MT7601U Wi-Fi, IR-cut/night mode, speaker output, and both PTZ axes are working.

All repository checks pass (ci-matrix, check-firmware-drift --self-test, lint-cli-paths, lint-workflow-shell, and shell syntax validation).

High-Level Assessment

The device-local profile is the appropriate approach because the GPIO assignments and MT7601U reset sequence are specific to the ZTE K543. A shared wireless overlay was considered, but localizing the quirk avoids affecting other boards while firmware-drift tracking preserves synchronization with the shared firmware source.

1. Wireless setup failures report success 🐞 Bug ☼ Reliability

Description

set_gpio loses each GPIO command's status after sleep, and the matching wireless branch follows
modprobe mt7601sta with an unconditional exit 0. If either GPIO 14 transition or module
insertion fails, the selected startup path still reports success even though the wireless driver was
not initialized correctly.

Code

devices/ssc337de_lite_zte-k543/general/overlay/etc/wireless/usb[R12-13]

+	modprobe mt7601sta
+	exit 0

Evidence

The customizer selects this exact wireless profile, whose handler performs two GPIO transitions and
loads mt7601sta; however, sleep replaces the GPIO command status and the explicit success exit
replaces the module-loading status. The defconfig confirms this path is intended to initialize the
selected MT7601U package.

Agent prompt

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The device-specific wireless initializer discards failures from both GPIO operations and `modprobe`, ultimately returning success after an unsuccessful initialization.
## Issue Context
Preserve the required delays while capturing and propagating GPIO command failures. Return the actual `modprobe` status instead of unconditionally exiting zero; using an explicit conditional or `exec modprobe mt7601sta` is appropriate.
## Fix Focus Areas

Thanks — and sorry this sat unbuilt for two days: a PR from a first-time contributor needs a maintainer to release the workflow run. Reviewed against master e0a643f with firmware at 9e7cf5b; nothing here blocks, so I am releasing the build now.

This is unusually well put together for a first device PR. Three things I verified rather than took on trust:

• The firmware-drift.json entry is exactly right. f9df96bc190e8f8a11794f9410568eac10f50320 is the current blob of firmware's general/overlay/etc/wireless/usb at HEAD — I resolved it independently and it matches. Most contributors do not know that file exists; registering the overlay there is the difference between a tracked divergence and a silent one.
• The exclude list keeps the right sensor. OpenIPC/sensors builds 18 sensors for sigmastar/infinity6b0, your list prunes 17 of them and leaves sc401ai — the board's own — in place.
• mt7601sta is the right module name: mt7601u-openipc builds the vendor STA driver (it installs /etc/mediatek/MT7601USTA.dat), and three existing upstream profiles modprobe that same name. The kernel config you point at, infinity6b0-ssc009b.config, is the one the other ssc337de device in the tree uses.

One nit: /lib/modules/4.9.84/sigmastar/sensor_jxq03_mipi.ko is not built for infinity6b0 — that sensor exists for other families but not this one — so the entry will never match anything, and rootfs_script.sh will count it in its excludes: N of M entries matched no file line. Harmless, just drop the line.

ci-matrix.py --stdin on your branch narrows to exactly one device, so this is a single build. Let's see what it says.
