It has been rejected upstream and instead a nice/more generic solution
has been implemented. It's possible now to describe partitions format
using "compatible" DT string.
No OpenWrt target uses "linux,part-probe" anymore, leave it only in case
some forks need it. It will be dropped with support for new kernels.

as indicated in commit c5bf408ed6 "(ramips: fix image generation for mt76x8")
more rework was needed to fix the other issues.
Building on another machine, but using the same arch, showed
the application failing again for different reasons.
Fix this by completely rewriting the application, fixing following found issues:
- buffer overflows, resulting in stack corruption
- flaws in memory requirement calculations (too small, too large)
- memory leaks
- missing bounds checking on string handling
- non-reproducable images, by using unitilized memory in checksum calculation
- missing error handling, resulting in succes on specific image errors
- endianness errors when building on BE machines
- various minor build warnings
- documentation did not match the code actions (header item locations)
- allowing input to be decimal, hex or octal now

Following errors were seen in the past on imx6 when using serial:
[ 22.617622] imx-uart 2020000.serial: DMA transaction error.
[ 22.623228] imx-uart 2020000.serial: DMA transaction error.
[ 22.628826] imx-uart 2020000.serial: DMA transaction error.
[ 22.648951] imx-uart 2020000.serial: DMA transaction error.
[ 22.654558] imx-uart 2020000.serial: DMA transaction error.
[ 22.660156] imx-uart 2020000.serial: DMA transaction error.
Which is the reason why DMA for the serial ports
got disabled in commits:
efb362cd93 ("imx6: disable dma on uart")
3b4241071d ("imx6: disable UART dma")
As indicated on mailinglist discussion, the cause seems to be
the usage of very old SDMA firmware which is present in the soc:
[ 0.624302] imx-sdma 20ec000.sdma: Direct firmware load for imx/sdma/sdma-imx6q.bin failed with error -2
[ 0.624318] imx-sdma 20ec000.sdma: Falling back to user helper
[ 64.531607] imx-sdma 20ec000.sdma: external firmware not found, using ROM firmware
This patch adds the new firmware binary. (2196 bytes)
It is required to embed the binary into the kernel image, as it
gets loaded very early in the boot process where the rootfs is not
available yet:
[ 0.622966] imx-sdma 20ec000.sdma: loaded firmware 3.3
Extended testing shows that the DMA errors are not seen anymore
when using this newer firmware version.

The bump to kernel 4.14 caused a massive increase in kernel size.
For most targets, switching them to dynamic partitioning allowed
to cope with this.
On some targets, the kernel partition is located behind the rootfs,
which disallows switching to dynamic partitioning as the boot location
would be altered, requiring a u-boot change.
Also within the tiny section, which disables kernel symbols etc
to decrease the image size, the partition size is still too small.
Disable these targets for now, fixing image generation:

- Zbtlink ZBT-WE1526

This patch replaces the custom autoload quirk of the
RT-AC58U with a bootargs-append overwrite.
The vendor's u-boot doesn't leave the bootargs / cmdline alone,
so the it can't be overwritten in any other way right now...
And of course, this will be a lot of fun to deal with once
the device switches to the new spi-nand subsystem.

This commit adds support for the Ubiquiti LiteAP ac (LAP-120), an outdoor
5 GHz AC access point with an integrated 120° 16 dBi antenna. The device
was previously known as LiteBeam AP ac but was later rebranded.
CPU: Atheros AR9342 SoC
RAM: 64 MB DDR2
Flash: 16 MB NOR SPI
Ports: 1 GbE port (PoE in)
WLAN: 5 GHz QCA899X (PCI)
The integrated QCA899X is a Ubiquiti branded part with modified vendor
and product id (0777:11ac9). It is very similar to the NanoStation loco
AC, except for the 2.4 GHz management radio (missing here).
Installation procedure is the same as the NanoStation [loco] AC:
1. Connect to serial header on device
2. Power on device and enter uboot console
3. Set up tftp server serving an openwrt initramfs build
4. Load initramfs build using the command tftpboot in the uboot cli
5. Boot the loaded image using the command bootm
6. Copy squashfs openwrt sysupgrade build to the booted device
7. Use mtd to write sysupgrade to partition "firmware"
8. Reboot and enjoy

With the upcoming 4.19 release, the serial console on the
Netgear WNDR4700 would no longer work as it is never really
set and always relied on the kernel's serial code not to
change the baud rate.
On the stock firmware, Netgear forced the console setting
through a custom CONFIG_CMDLINE in their kernel to 115200.
Normally, they should have done it in a different way and
just passed the baudrate through a "console=..." kernel
parameter via the bootargs in the "/chosen" dt node.
But in their default u-boot bootcmd setting, they somehow
forgot to add the "run addtty", so there's no easy way to
pass the baudrate from u-boot to the kernel. So it has
to be forced as otherwise it ends up as 9600 baud.

I noticed that the image generator for the Gemini generates
some 10+ MB files for the second (application) partition.
This is just wrong. The first 6144K partition named initramfs
easily fits OpenWRTs squashfs,jffs2 overlayed partitions
with nice headroom for storing configuration files.
Generate a blank partition for the hddapp.tgz file and delete
it after generating the firmware image - when performing
updates manually you just want the "rd.z" file around
anyways.
