Some layerscape devices (ls1012ardb/ls1012afrdm/ls1046ardb/ls1088ardb)
were using ext4 rootfs because there were issues using squashfs.
This patch is to drop using ext4 rootfs and use ubifs rootfs instead
which is more proper for SPI-NOR flash.

Disable CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR in most places and only keep it enabled
for virtual targets such as malta or potent ones like x86.
This saves up to 4KB of uncompressed kernel size and significantly
decreases CPU load under certain workloads.

While bumping 4.14, the kernel build failed due to missing CONFIG_KASAN
symbol. Move it to generic config instead of defining it for all arm64
and x86/64 targets.
It was only added in 4.0, so not needed in config-3.18.

The CPU sub type was set to a CPU version with FPU, but the FPU feature
was not activated before, so a soft float toolchain was created.
Activate also the FPU feature to create the correct toolchain.

This patch is to add PPA (The Primary Protected Application)
package and also enable it for all layerscape devices.
LSDK github provides ppa source code git tree, but it
only could be compiled with 64-bit toolchain. For 32-bit
devices, there was no method to use it.

Default profile had to enable many packages for all devices
support. This made these packages still enabled when built
for single device. This patch is to remove default profile.
For multiple devices build, it's proper to build with multiple

A previous patch disaggregated kernel patch 601 intending to
reverse the ndo_get_stats64 change, but it also dropped
many other changes without a reason. This caused build issue
for layerscape. This patch is to fix that with below steps.
1. Reversed patch "1c4415a layerscape: reverse changes to ndo_get_stats64",
but kept kernel patch 701 which was a proper fix.
2. Reversed the ndo_get_stats64 change in kernel patch 601.
3. Renamed patch 601 (net patch) to 202 (core-linux patch). Maybe it's
more proper.

Some targets need 4K sectors for small flash chips (e.g. some
routerboards, where the entire chip is just one "erase block"), whereas
on other devices 4K sectors lead to horrible flash erase/write
performance.
Set the default limit in the generic kernel configuration to 4 MiB to
ensure that all new platforms don't use 4K sectors for bigger flash
chips. On all existing targets use 16 MiB for now to avoid regressions.
They will be changed individually in follow-up commits.

The NXP LSDK kernel backported changes for interface ndo_get_stats64
functions from mainline, this causes a compile error with
backports/mac80211, which expects the original 4.9 defintion.
As reversing the ndo_get_stats64 change signifcantly reduces the size of
patch 601, the patches that were aggregated into it have been
disaggregated.

When build firmware for layerscape target with CONFIG_ALL_NONSHARED=y,
there would be a compile issue of usb ehci-fsl driver. Actually this
driver was for PPC platforms initially and was not ready for non-PPC
now, but a kernel kconfig patch removed PPC dependency for it. So that
kernel patch should be reverted.
