the trx utile uses a maximum image size of 7.2MB. There are brcm47xx
devices even with serial flash with bigger flash chips, but OpenWrt was
not able to create images for these devices. This patch provides an
additional parameter which increases this limit to 32 MB. There is a
warning in the trx utile code which suggests that bigger images could
overwrite the nvram partition on some devices, but normally the program
writing the image should make sure that it is safe to write it to the
flash.

This patch changes nothing on the behaviour, it just breaks long lines
with bin/trx to make it easier to add additional parameters.

Instead of letting each target define it themselves, create on in
include/image.mk and let the targets use it.

KERNEL_IMAGE is used as target rule so reusing the same name causes:
Makefile:326: warning: overriding recipe for target `bin/brcm47xx/vmlinux.lzma'
Makefile:326: warning: ignoring old recipe for target `bin/brcm47xx/vmlinux.lzma'
Makefile:326: warning: overriding recipe for target `build_dir/target-mipsel_74kc+dsp2_uClibc-0.9.33.2/linux-brcm47xx_mips74k/vmlinux.lzma'
Makefile:326: warning: ignoring old recipe for target `build_dir/target-mipsel_74kc+dsp2_uClibc-0.9.33.2/linux-brcm47xx_mips74k/vmlinux.lzma'
Unfortunately this will cause copying vmlinux.lzma over and over like:
cp vmlinux.lzma FOO-kernel.bin
which is redundant on brcm47xx where we never modify kernel image.

There is a group of devices that lzma-loader doesn't work with. They
simply hang at "Starting program at 0x80001000" which is really hard to
debug and we didn't find any solution for this for years.
Broadcom doesn't use lzma-loader on these devices anyway. They decided
to drop lzma-loader and use less optimal LZMA compression that can be
handled by CFE itself (it doesn't use dictionary).
So support these devices we will need kernel compressed with different
parameters and trx without a loader.

broadcom-wl now builds in the mips74k profile, so remove these chips

This patch adds support for Huawei E970 wireless gateway devices.
It has been tested on an E970 labelled as T-Mobile web'n'walk Box IV.
E960/B970 should work too, from what I know it's basically the same hardware.
The device has a Broadcom BCM5354 SoC and a built-in 3G USB modem.
It uses a hardware watchdog which needs GPIO-7 to be toggled at least
every 1-2 seconds. This patch uses gpio_wdt module (see my previous
patch today) to take care of this.
Tested and works: 3G wan, wlan+LED, VLAN config, failsafe using reset
button, image to be used for upgrade from OEM firmware's web interface
Link to the wiki page I've created: <http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/huawei/e970>
Issue:
* lzma-loader crashes, so gzipped kernel is used. Presumably due to watchdog
reset during kernel decompress.

In order to support both normal images and initramfs, ensure that each
target sets KERNELNAME properly so that the generic kernel building code
can copy the corresponding files over $(KDIR) with the appropriate
extension. Update the various paths to the kernel and wrapper images
from $(LINUX_DIR)/arch/$(ARCH)/boot/$(foo) to $(KDIR)/$(foo).

I recently picked up a WNDR3700 to put OpenWRT on, and only after tearing into the box did I find it
was one of the v3 boards, with poor OpenWRT support. This patch should add the board detection and
LED/button control to the broadcom-diag module, and should generate a netgear .chk image that the
bootloader and stock firmware will accept.
The changes to the broadcom-diag module are more than a few lines because the WNDR3700v3 is driving
its LEDs through an HC164 8-bit shift register.

WNDR3400v2 is based on BCM53xx . Image that is created breaks the router somehow therefore "#".
CFE and NVRAM contain different vars - example:
CFE line original: Device eth0: hwaddr 74-44-01-37-C6-69, ipaddr 192.168.1.1, mask 255.255.255.0
CFE after openwrt: Device eth0: hwaddr 00-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF, ipaddr 192.168.1.1, mask 255.255.255.0
Logs were posted earlier on this mailing list: https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2012-July/016174.html
Different logs with factory firmware are in the wiki: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/netgear/wndr3400#wndr3400v2
