Fixes build issues seen due to the kernel being too big
Signed-off-by: Koen Vandeputte <koen.vandeputte@ncentric.com>
As mentioned in commit 5f24933 recent changes on ar71xx (switch to 4.14,
memory compaction, ...) cause an increase in kernel size, making it too
big for RE450.
RE450 images were not build due to the following error message:
os-image partition too big (more than 1572864 bytes): Success
Tested on RE450, device boots and was used to send this patch.

Add a template for safeloader images and include it instead of
overwriting variables defined in the common tp-link build commands.
Split the existing tp-link templates to proper implement the safeloader
template.

This PR adds support for a popular low-cost 2.4GHz N based AP
Specifications:
- SoC: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9533 (650MHz)
- RAM: 64MB
- Storage: 8 MB SPI NOR
- Wireless: 2.4GHz N based built into SoC 2x2
- Ethernet: 1x 100/10 Mbps, integrated into SoC, 24V POE IN
Installation:
Flash factory image through stock firmware WEB UI
or through TFTP
To get to TFTP recovery just hold reset button while powering on for
around 4-5 seconds and release.
Rename factory image to recovery.bin
Stock TFTP server IP:192.168.0.100
Stock device TFTP adress:192.168.0.254
Notes:
TP-Link does not use bootstrap registers so without this patch reference
clock detects as 40MHz while it is actually 25MHz.
This is due to messed up bootstrap resistor configuration on the PCB.
Provided GPL code just forces 25MHz reference clock.
That causes booting with completely wrong clocks, for example, CPU tries
to boot at 1040MHz while the stock is 650MHz.
So this PR depends on PR #672 to remove 40MHz reference clock.
Thanks to Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> for properly patching that.

We recently increased the kernel partition size of the CPE/WBS 210/510.
This works fine for new installations of the factory image, but on
sysupgrades, the partition table read by the bootloader is not adjusted.
This limits the maximum size of the kernel loaded by the bootloader to the
old partition size.
While adjusting the partition table would be a cleanest solution, such a
migration would have to happen before an upgrade to a new version with a
newer kernel. This is error-prone and would require a two-step upgrade, as
we mark the partition table partition read-only.
Instead, switch from the lzma-loader with embedded kernel to the
okli-loader, so only the tiny lzma-loader is loaded by the bootloader as
"kernel", and the lzma-loader will then load the rest of the kernel by
itself.

This new subtarget sets the small_flash flag and removes unused kernel
configuration.
small_flash removes KERNEL_KALLSYMS, which saves ~107KB in the default
configuration; removing unneeded hardware support from ar71xx/tiny saves
another ~18KB (both after LZMA).
