(bmips: rename BCM63168 to BCM63268 
BCM63168 and BCM63268 are very similar and Broadcom refers to them as BCM63268
in GPL sources (e.g. 63268_map_part.h).
Use alphabetical order for supported bmips quirks.
Add BCM63268 to devicetree documentation.)

Firmware: 
Under zyxel-p8702n-bcm63xx/firmware/p8702/ are all the official Telenor Firmwares 
I have, the latest are missing, the latest known working not to be locked to Telenor WAN
is 100AAJX14D0.bin , to flash this, older, or different firmwares the router needs to be put
in a special mode, i'll get the techincal details later, but it involves holding the 'reset'
button untill a light blinks red, set a static ip via ethernet cable to i believe 192.160.1.x
and connect to 192.168.1.1. This should be in the linked documentation above.

To force flash firmware:
from zyxel-p8702n-bcm63xx/doc/bcm963xx_bootloader_appnote.pdf :
"
1. Press and hold the reset button until the “DSL” LED goes on. It will take about 8 seconds.
2. Configure a PC Ethernet connection with a static IP address on subnet 192.168.1.x.
3. Open a Web browser to IP address 192.168.1.1. The following screen will appear.
"
To flash a non Telenor WAN locked firmwre, you can now select:
'zyxel-p8702n-bcm63xx/firmware/p8702/100AAJX14D0.bin'

A bit of copy-paste from zyxel-p8702n-bcm63xx/doc/oldwiki.archive.openwrt.org/toh/zyxel/zyxel_p8702n.html: 

Serial connection:

< I'll provice pictures or something and pinouts to connect >

Connect via ttl serial - ie. 'cu -l /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 115200' or putty

To show a list of commands:
CFE> ATHE
<snip>
In true ZyXEL style, you now need to generate a seed for the bootloader password generator.
CFE> ATSE DSL-2492GNAU-B3BC

00044320D52F
OK
*** command status = 0

Unlock Bootloader:
<TODO: Explain this better>

*Nix:
Compile zynpass to generate bootloader unlock key - Thanks mr. goldyfruit!

gcc zynpass.c -o zynpass
./zynpass 00044320D52F

Windows - Untested:
doc/jstic.com/Newsgroup/Zyxel/ZynPass.zip is a windows version from 2012:

This will output the next input
---

CFE> ATEN 1 820FFBDD

OK

*** command status = 0

Now the bootloader is unlocked.

OPTIONAL: Make FS writeable (I believe, I read the documentation at the time but found this in a log)
CFE> ATBT 1
