ath79: add support for MikroTik RouterBOARD wAP G-5HacT2HnD This commit adds support for the MikroTik RouterBOARD wAP G-5HacT2HnD (wAP AC), a small weatherproof dual band, dual-radio 802.11ac wireless AP with integrated omnidirectional anntennae and one 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port. See https://mikrotik.com/product/RBwAPG-5HacT2HnD for more info.

ath79: mikrotik: use vmlinuz (zBoot ELF) - minimal built initramfs: 10MB vmlinux ELF -> 6MB vmlinuz - ~5 seconds for kernel decompression, which was equivalent to the additional time to load the uncompressed ELF from SPI NOR. - Removes requirement for lzma-loader, which may have been causing some image builds to fail to boot on Mikrotik mt7621.

treewide: call check-size before append-metadata sysupgrade metadata is not flashed to the device, so check-size should be called _before_ adding metadata to the image. While at it, do some obvious wrapping improvements. Signed-off-by: Adrian Schmutzler <freifunk@adrianschmutzler.de> Acked-by: Paul Spooren <mail@aparcar.org>

ath79/mikrotik: disable building NAND images The current support for MikroTik NAND-based devices relies on a gross hack that packs the kernel into a static YAFFS stub, as the stock bootloader only supports booting a YAFFS-encapsulated kernel. The problem with this approach is that since the kernel partition is blindly overwritten without any kind of wear or badblock management (due to lack of proper support for YAFFS in OpenWRT), the NAND flash is not worn uniformly and eventually badblocks appear, leading to unbootable devices. This issue has been reported here [1] and discussed in more detail here [2]. [1] https://forum.openwrt.org/t/rb433-bad-sector-cannot-start-openwrt/71519 [2] https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/3026#issuecomment-673597461 Until a proper fix is found (or the stock bootloader supports other filesystems), we disable building these images to prevent unknowing users from risking their devices. Thanks to Thibaut Varène for summarizing the details above. Signed-off-by: Adrian Schmutzler <freifunk@adrianschmutzler.de>
