The new u-boot version bundled with the 5.6.x firmwares from Ubiquiti gets
confused by the smaller rootfs partition size; this can lead to various
issues:
1. We've gotten reports that flashing from the 5.6.x stock firmware to
OpenWrt will brick devices; I wasn't able to reproduce this myself
2. Flashing from 5.5.x stock firmware to OpenWrt and back to stock (via
TFTP recovery), following by an update to 5.6.x via web interface can
yield a bricked device with the following properties:
- It can't be booted without entering commands over a serial console, as
u-boot supplies the wrong MTD layout
- The web interface won't accept any image with the original flash
layout, so stock firmware upgrades are impossible
- As the TFTP recovery doesn't update u-boot, returning to the old
u-boot from firmware 5.5.x is impossible
To recover from 2., creating an OpenWrt image which doesn't set u-boot as
read-only and flashing a backup of the old u-boot from there is the only
way known to me. (Fixing the mtdparts variable in u-boot-env from OpenWrt
might also work; settings this from u-boot over serial didn't have
any permanent effect.)
Fix all of this by setting the correct flash layout also used by the stock
firmware. Flashing has been tested from both firmware 5.5.x and 5.6.x. The
fixed layout also matches the mtdparts defined by OpenWrt.

It has an important feature (compared to seama) of using multiple input
files, aligning them and padding zeroes until reaching a specified
absolute offset. This is needed for a proper flash layout on NAND. We
want kernel partition to be big enough to handle future updates without
a need to resize it and wipe whole "ubi" partition. It's important as
we don't want to lose block counters.

This pulls in Paul Kocialkowski's SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH support patch for u-boot,
which landed upstream circa July 2015. Note that this "host" u-boot repo is
only used to compile the 'mkimage' utility, and isn't used to actually compile
a bootloader for any target.
This patch could be removed if/when the host u-boot package is updated to a
contemporary version (but there doesn't seem to be any motivation/need to do
so).

When running "make kernel_menuconfig" right after "make clean", we error
out with the following message:
Makefile:22: recipe for target '.../build_dir/target-arm_cortex-a7_musl-1.1.10_eabi/linux-.../linux-3.18.18/.quilt_checked' failed
make[2]: [.../build_dir/target-arm_cortex-a7_musl-1.1.10_eabi/linux-.../linux-3.18.18/.quilt_checked]
Error 127 (ignored)
The root cause of the problem is located in the OpenWrt specific quilt
patch, which sets the quilt install directory to $STAGING_DIR/../host.
However, on a clean environment (right after running "make clean"),
$STAGING_DIR doesn't exist. The "quilt" executable doesn't find its
different commands, errors out, and creates this message.
We're fixing it by using $STAGING_DIR_HOST rather than $STAGING_DIR,
which is absolute. It will work even if there is no target directory
yet.
