I am able to successfully compile from the updated tree. After doing 
saveenv for above mentioned bootcmd, the board boots without any manual 
intervention after plugging in the power.

I do not have a mini-PCIe card to test it out. Moreover, I could not 
figure out how to use patchworks to download the patch.

It boots fine from SD Card.

Sysupgrade for a 4 GB image took 871s(14 min). And it was waiting 
forever at "reboot: Restarting system". Had to disconnect and connect 
power again.

Below are the sysupgade logs:

Additionally,

* Able to configure lan0/1 as a WAN to use with mwan3
* Didn't yet try creating VLAN tagged WANs using lan0/1, as some ISPs 
here provide VLAN
* Perl didn't compile - it couldn't find config for aarch64 - need to 
request maintainer for Perl I believe.
* Squid didn't compile as well - should request squid package maintainer?

Please let me know if you want me to test further hardware and scenarios.

Thanks & regards,
