add an uboot able to boot a kernel in an ubi partition
This uboot also has a "recovery" feature, before
booting from flash it will try to boot a initramfs
image called "initramfs.bin" from a FAT32-formatted
USB drive connected to the USB 2.0 port.
(u-boot lacks drivers for usb 3.0 controllers)
Just rename the initramfs image and place it on
the usb drive, the uboot will load it.
In case there is no USB drive or no such file
is found, the uboot will boot from internal flash.
The whole check takes less than a second, boot times
are not impacted.

No image build code for the Guruplug, Sheevaplug and NSA310S exists. Drop
support for the boards for now.

Upgrade uboot-kirkwood to upstream release 2017.09
Catch up with upstream and move configuration options from
simple defines to Kconfig, as otherwise dependencies would
not be resolved and code would not compile.

With upstream changes, the last update to U-Boot 2017.03
broke the nsa310 and nsa325 targets. Also fix some redefines.

Goflexhome/net use uImage, and to boot an uImage the u-boot
must use bootm command, not bootz.
Fixes the "i cannot boot LEDE with this u-boot" issue that I
found out myself with my goflexnet.

all patches for CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD are obsolete for
uboot 2016 sources.
Run-tested with the uboot of goflexnet, also the md5sum of
all other uboots is the same with or without these patches.

this commit allows to make a standalone u-boot for nsa310b.
While both first-stage and second-stage u-boot work fine if
installed to flash or loaded with kwboot,
I could not get stock u-boot nor bodhi's u-boot to chainload
any second stage u-boot (I also tried with dockstar's uboot
that works fine on this device if loaded with kwboot).

Fix the default value for the 'bootcmd' environment variable.
Therefore make the default bootcmd work for buildbot's images.

Explicit sets the size of the mtdparts, because the kernel has also an explicit value.
If they have diffent sizes the ubi won't be detected.

Since switching to new ubi(kernel,squashfs,ubifs) layout, the kernel lies in a
ubi volume. Dropping the mtd parts because the mtd layout is saved in the
device-tree, which is appended to the zImage.

This patch modifies the u-boot config for the Pogoplug E02 to work with
OpenWrt. It also enables building a second stage bootloader image.
Signed-off-by: Felix Kaechele <heffer@fedoraproject.org>
SVN-Revision: 40828
Tested on:
* Cloud Engines Pogoplug E02
* RaidSonic ICY BOX IB-NAS62x0
* Iomega Iconnect
Some users are avoiding to replace their bootloader, because of that add
support for second stage u-boot image. Having ubifs capable bootloader is
required in order to boot current OpenWrt trunk.
Sample ib62x0 commands for running second stage bootloader:
tftpboot 0x800000 uboot-kirkwood-ib62x0_second_stage/openwrt-kirkwood-ib62x0_second_stage-u-boot.img
bootm 0x800000
Sample ib62x0 commands for flashing second stage bootloader:
tftpboot 0x800000 uboot-kirkwood-ib62x0_second_stage/openwrt-kirkwood-ib62x0_second_stage-u-boot.img
nand erase 0x100000 0x100000 ; nand write 0x800000 0x100000 0x${filesize}
nand read 0x800000 0x100000 0x100000 ; bootm 0x800000
While at it include parallel build support, use alphabetic order of the boards
and introduce common OpenWrt configuration.
