Recent changes on ar71xx (switch to 4.14, memory compaction, ...) cause
an increase in kernel size, making it too big for some devices.
Move these devices to the tiny target, where kernel symbols and
optimization for speed are disabled, reducing the kernel size.
Devices:
- EnGenius ENS202EXT
- OCEDO Koala
Compile-tested targets:
- ar71xx->generic->default
- ar71xx->smallFlash->Default

Move boards to the tiny subtarget which break the build if the kernel is
set to "Optimize for performance".
Signed-off-by: Mathias Kresin <dev@kresin.me>
This new subtarget sets the small_flash flag and removes unused kernel
configuration.
small_flash removes KERNEL_KALLSYMS, which saves ~107KB in the default
configuration; removing unneeded hardware support from ar71xx/tiny saves
another ~18KB (both after LZMA).

Most of the custom Build/* functions in ar71xx target are rarely used by
image building code for devices from more than one subtarget. As they
don't need to be always included, move them to corresponding *.mk files.

EnGenius ENS202EXT is an outdoor wireless access point with
2-port 10/100 switch, detachable antennas and proprietery PoE.
The device is based on Qualcomm/Atheros AR9341 v1.
Specifications:
- 535/400/200 MHz (CPU/DDR/AHB)
- 64 MB of RAM
- 16 MB of FLASH
- UART (J1) header on PCB (unpopulated)
- 2x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
- 2.4 GHz, up to 26dBm
- 2x external, detachable antennas
- 7x LED, 1x button
Flash instructions:
You have three options:
- Use the vendor firmware upgrade page on the web interface and give
it the factory.img. This is the easiest way to go about it.
- If you have serial access during u-boot, interrupt the normal boot
(any key before timeout) and run 'run failsafe_boot'; this will bring
you to a minimal openwrt luci image on ip 192.168.1.1 useful if you've
bricked the normal firmware.
- Use the vendor's management cli, which can be accessed via telnet
with the same credentials as the web login (default admin:admin), then
issue the following commands:
*** Hi admin, welcome to use cli(V-1.6.7) ***

Remove the wget2nand script, drop the need for manual installation,
use sysupgrade instead.
There are now two different NAND images, one for 64 MiB flashes, the
other for >= 128 MiB

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.

This patch adds support for the TP-Link TL-WR740N v6 into OpenWrt trunk. Hardware wise, it's very similar to the TL-WR841N v10. See the forum thread [1]. Credit goes to the user 'traveler' who did the legwork and tested builds.
Also thanks to Matthias Schiffer for clarifying the DEVICE_PROFILE settings.

Since December 2015, the Archer C7 comes with an US-specific firmware. This
firmware will only allow upgrades with images that contain the US region
code in the firmware header.
The "universal" firmware distributed in the rest of the world doesn't care
about the region code, so we can just unconditionally set the region to US
for now. When other region-specific firmwares appear, we'll need to create
a factory image for each of them.

The build command will always get the whole argument string in $(1),
regardless of whitespace. We need to use word/wordlist to split the string
after the first word.
Whitespace and quotation will be given to the command verbatim (make will
ignore it), so to give multiple arguments, no quotation marks may be used.

This patch adds support for the TP-Link TL-WR841N/ND to trunk. It is
similar to the already supported v10 - see [1]. I have added support
based on that topic; in the meantime it has been confirmed working
(see the forum thread, and also [2]).

On most platforms the cmdline is supplied by the loader to the kernel.
When using an elf loader with cmdline the size is bloated by 512k.
For loader-elf platforms like the cpe510 better use loader-elf but patch
the cmdline into the kernel.

- remove the suffix (N, ND) to indicate that the image is for all
WR841-models
- some of these models have a "N"-suffix, others have (ND)-suffix,
but the boards are the same - only difference is the detachable
antenna on "D"-models
- discussed this idea to remove the suffix in IRC with jow and Borromini
