Yeah this one is a special headache. It's two different brandings
of the same router. The Linksys version can still be bought new
from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Cisco-Linksys-WRV54G-Wireless-G-VPN-Router/dp/B0000AR8Z1

I'm leaning toward listing them as two different devices instead
of what we have now, which is

  compatible = "linksys,wrv54g", "gemtek,gtwx5715", "intel,ixp42x";

We can just decide that one of them is the canon device, I guess
Linksys, and the other we can just use that device tree, or we
create a device tree that includes the former and just override
the compatible.

I don't really know what to do here.

Yours,
