Combined Extended Images V1 can be created easily via the new image
commands using
IMAGE/sysupgrade.bin/squashfs := append-rootfs | pad-rootfs | combined-ext-image

mpc85xx uses this for firmware image files, since the dtb data is not
directly part of the kernel image. This causes build failures in the
image builder.
Fix this by adding a separate build step that runs this call earlier,
reusing the generated file for any calls from kernel or image build
commands.

This patch adds all the board-specific values currently hardcoded
in mktplinkfw2.c back to the respective device declarations in the
makefiles.
The rationale is to avoid modifying the source code every time a
new board or board variant is added.

We will need "mktplinkfw-combined" command also in the "ramips" target
for new MediaTek based TP-Link devices, with "safeloader" image type.
Also, rename the command to "tplink-v1-header", use "VERSION_DIST"
variable instead of "OpenWrt" and allow passing additional parameters.

There are already two targets (lantiq, ramips) which use mktplinkfw2
tool for creating images. This de-duplicates code, introduces two new
build commands: tplink-v2-header, tplink-v2-image and makes use of
them in place of old, (sub)target specific ones.

This patch makes specifying NETGEAR_REGION optional, in which case
mkchkimage will default to region 1 (WW).

The @ sign in front of the "mv" command was significantly suppressing
output to stdout. When reviewing the make/build logs it was tricking
me a whole lot and it mad me lose time. Removing the @ sign will get
stdout and logs right about what happened when.

This patch moves the fakeroot code required by some devices to
`image-commands.mk`.
Create the fakeroot on the fly by using the undocumented -s (skip copy)
parameter of mkimage.

some of Buffalo DHP series use slightly different trx magic, buffalo-enc,
buffalo-tag, and factory image begin with 'bgn'.
this patch adds support for building those images.

The generated 'its' is passed to mkimage which expects linux arch
strings rather than the full arch (e.g. mips not mipsel).
It currently works in some cases where LINUX_KARCH == ARCH but
otherwise you get an unknown arch build error.

Using pad-to instead of passing the optional padding to append-kernel
or append-rootfs. It could be that the value of a variable is passed.
In case the variable is empty no error is thrown.
Furthermore the purpose of the extra parameter is hard to get without
reading the code.

At the moment the padding steps are hardcoded. Especially images for
devices with a 4K sector size can be unnecessarily bloated using the
hardcoded padding steps.
It has been observed that 192Kb of padding was added to the image of a
4MB device, albeit due to the 4K sector size the minimum required extra
padding for the jffs2 rootfs_data is 20Kb.
In worst case it means that the image-size check could fail albeit
there is enough space for all selected packages
For device build code not exposing the blocksize, use the hardcoded
padding further on.

Allows to use the same unit for all definitions of the blocksize to be
