Parsing "firmware" partition (to create kernel + rootfs) was implemented
using OpenWrt downstream code enabled by CONFIG_MTD_SPLIT_FIRMWARE. With
recent upstream mtd changes we can do it in a more clean way for DTS
targets. It just requires adding a proper "compatible" string to the
"firmware" partition node.

Having MIT as alternative is sometimes preferred by upstream maintainers
and allows sharing that simple code with other projects. We don't really
want multiple DTS versions for the same device.

Flashing instructions
A) Serial console, U-Boot and TFTP
1. Connect to serial header J1 on the PCB
2. Power on device and enter U-Boot console
3. Set up TFTP server serving an OpenWrt initramfs build
4. Load initramfs build using the command tftpboot in the U-Boot 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
B) Experimental factory image flashing over SSH from airOS v6.1.7
1. You need to flash your UBNT M2HP with airOS v6.1.7 firmware
no other airOS version is currently supported
2. git clone https://github.com/true-systems/ubnt-bullet-m2hp-openwrt-flashing
3. cd ubnt-bullet-m2hp-openwrt-flashing
4. make flash-factory FW_OWRT=/path/to/your/openwrt-ath79-generic-ubnt_bullet-m-xw-squashfs-factory.bin
Tested only on Bullet M2HP.
