bde5e7a632 kernel: backport mtd implementation for "compatible" in "partitions" subnode
This backports upstream support for "compatible" DT property set for the
"partitions" subnode of flash node. It allows specifying how partitions
should be created/parsed. Right now only "fixed-partitions" is
supported.

It should eventually replace our downstream "linux,part-probe" solution.

generic: unlock Winbond flash on boot
The underlying issue breaking Spansion flash has been fixed with "mtd: spi-nor:
wait until lock/unlock operations are ready" and "mtd: spi-nor: wait for SR_WIP
to clear on initial unlock", so we can support unlocking for Winbond flash
again.

This is necessary to have writable flash on certain UBNT devices with some
bootloader versions.

c5ca1c9ab6 kernel: bump 4.14 to 4.14.11
Rename unwinder config symbols to match upstream changes.
Refresh patches.
Update patch that no longer applies: 202-reduce_module_size.patch

Also enable CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION. This feature was backported
from 4.15 to the 4.14 stable series. It is enabled by default, so enable
it in OpenWrt as well.

Compile-tested on x86/64.
Runtime-tested on x86/64.

df68e63a4f kernel/4.14: add missing newline character to UBI messages
A few UBI messages lacks the trailing newline character which
leads to ugly lines in the bootlog like this:

  [    6.649159] UBI error: no valid UBI magic found inside mtd6[    6.667751] Freeing unused kernel memory: 2196K

Add a newline character to the end of the messages to fix it.
After the fix the line from above looks better in the log:

  [    6.609182] UBI error: no valid UBI magic found inside mtd6
  [    6.627599] Freeing unused kernel memory: 2132K

b3f95490b9 kernel: generic: Add kernel 4.14 support
This adds initial support for kernel 4.14 based on the patches for
kernel 4.9.

In the configuration I deactivated some of the new possible security
features like:
CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL
CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED
CONFIG_SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR
CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM

And these overlay FS options are also deactivated:
CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_INDEX
CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_REDIRECT_DIR

I activated this:
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE
CONFIG_POSIX_TIMERS
CONFIG_SLAB_MERGE_DEFAULT
CONFIG_WATCHDOG_HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLED

I am not sure if I did the porting correct for the following patches:
target/linux/generic/backport-4.14/020-backport_netfilter_rtcache.patch
target/linux/generic/hack-4.14/220-gc_sections.patch
target/linux/generic/hack-4.14/321-powerpc_crtsavres_prereq.patch
target/linux/generic/pending-4.14/305-mips_module_reloc.patch
target/linux/generic/pending-4.14/611-netfilter_match_bypass_default_table.patch
target/linux/generic/pending-4.14/680-NET-skip-GRO-for-foreign-MAC-addresses.patch
