This commit creates the ath79/mikrotik subtarget in order to support
MikroTik devices based on Qualcomm Atheros MIPS SoCs.
MikroTik devices need a couple of specific features: the split MiNOR
firmware MTD format, which is not used by other devices, and the 4k
sector erase size on SPI NOR storage, which can not be added to the
ath79/generic and ath79/nand subtargets now.
Additionally, the commit moves the two MikroTik devices already in
the generic and nand subtargets to this new one.
Tested on the RB922 board and the wAP AC router.

IMAGE_SIZE is widely used in many targets. Declare it in the default template to
clean up redundant code. This also prevents deriving IMAGE_SIZE unintentionally
from the previously defined device.
While at it, remove duplicate KERNEL_SIZE declaration.

In certain cases, the uncompressed initramfs image will overwrite
the lzma-loader, which is currently only 10 MB away from kernel image
start. To prevent this, change LZMA_TEXT_START to 24 MB, so loader
and compressed image have 8 MB at the end of RAM and uncompressed
image has 24 MB available.
This is only enabled for ath79 at the moment, as there we can be sure
that all devices have 32+ MB RAM and TARGET_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_LZMA
is not enabled there.
Despite, since lzma-loader is currently build specifically for ath79
anyway, there is no need to re-specify LOADADDR and LZMA_TEXT_START
in image/Makefile, so the values are set directly in
image/lzma-loader/Makefile and the overwrite in image/Makefile is
removed.

There are two recent commits stating to add support for Netgear
WNDR4300, where the second one seems to be just leftover from
an earlier patch having been rebased.
Since the first patch already provides support in the most recent
state, just revert the second one.
This reverts commit cd87272eb2.

Specifications:
- SoC: AR9341
- RAM: 64M
- Flash: 16M
- Ethernet: 1 * FE port
- WiFi: ar934x-wmac
- Sound: WM8918 DAC
1 * 3.5mm headphone jack
2 * RCA connectors for speakers
1 * SPDIF out
- USB: 1 * USB2.0 port
Flash instruction:
Upload generated factory image via vendor's web interface.
Notes:
A. Audio stuff:
1. Since AR934x, all pins for peripheral blocks can be mapped to
any available GPIOs. We currently don't have a PCM/I2S driver
for AR934x so pinmux for i2s and SPDIF are bound to i2c gpio
node. This should be moved into I2S node when a PCM/I2S driver
is available.
2. The i2c-gpio node is for WM8918. DT binding for it can't be added
currently due to a missing clock from I2S PLL.
B. Factory image:
Image contains a image header and a tar.gz archive.
1. Header: A 288 byte header that has nothing to do with appended
tarball. Format:
0x0-0x7 and 0x18-0x1F: magic values
0x20: Model number string
0xFC: Action string. It's either "update" or "backup"
0x11C: A 1 byte checksum. It's XOR result of 0x8-0x11B
Firmware doesn't care about the rest of the header as long as
checksum result is correct.
The same header is used for backup and update routines so the
magic values and model number can be obtained by generating a
backup bin and grab values from it.
2. Tarball: It contains two files named uImage and rootfs, which
will be flashed into corresponding mtd partition.
Writing a special utility that can only output a fixed binary
blob is overkill so factory image header is placed under
image/bin instead.
C. LED
The wifi led has "Wi-Fi" marked on the case but vendor's firmware
used it as system status indicator. I did the same in this device
support patch.
D. Firmware
Factory u-boot is built without 'savenv' support so it's impossible
to change kernel offset. A 2MB kernel partition won't be enough in
the future. OKLI loader is used here to migrate this problem:
1. add OKLI image magic support into uImage parser.
2. build an OKLI loader, compress it with lzma and add a normal
uImage header.
3. flash the loader to where the original kernel supposed to be.
4. create a uImage firmware using OKLI loader.
5. flash the created firmware to where rootfs supposed to be.
By doing so, u-boot will start OKLI loader, which will then load
the actual kernel at 0x20000.
The kernel partition is 2MB, which is too much for our loader.
To save this space, "mtd-concat" is used here:
1. create a 64K (1 erase block) partition for OKLI loader and
create another partition with the left space.
2. concatenate rootfs and this partition into a virtual flash.
3. use the virtual flash for firmware partition.
Currently OKLI loader is flashed with factory image only.
sysupgrade won't replace it. Since it only has one function
and it works for several years, its unlikely to have some bugs
that requires a replacement.

Netgear WNR612 v2:
- cpu Atheros AR7240 (Python) @400MHz
- flash 4MB
- ram 32MB
- ethernet 10/100: 1xwan + 2xlan (only two)
- radio AR9285
As there is a rebranded WNR612v2 called ON Networks N150R, add
a dtsi which includes all device support, and add a separate dts
for the device only (with a separate one for the subsequent N150R).

Import all improvements made in the lzma-loader since development on the
ath79 target started.
This also reverts fe594bf90d ("ath79: fix loader-okli, lzma-loader"), as
is obsoleted by 2ad60168b6af ("ar71xx: lzma-loader: move padding workaround
to gzip step").
Likely, many of the changes should be ported to the ramips lzma-loader as
well, but I don't have a device to test this.

Remove recipes for not yet migrated boards. Drop variables which aren't
required due to the switch to devicetree like boardname.
Drop the legacy image build code. Boards added to this target shouldn't
use the legacy image build code anyway.

This target aims to replace ar71xx mid-term. The big part that is still
missing is making the MMIO/AHB wifi work using OF. NAND and mikrotik
subtargets will follow.
