Add kmod-ramoops to the default set of device packages in
R7800 and XR500, so that the ramoops kernel crash logs
are provided by default for these routers.
The capability was earlier defined by 97158fe1 and cf346dfa,
but the feature was not yet turned on by default.
The possible kernel crashes are stored into /sys/fs/pstore/*

Increase the kernel size from 3 MB to 4 MB for EA8500 and EA7500v1.
* modify the common .dtsi
* modify the kernel size in the image recipes
Define compat-version 2.0 to force factory image usage for sysupgrade.
Add explanation message. Reenable both devices.
As for 4MiB (and not more): Hannu Nyman noted that:
"We have lots of ipq806x devices with 4 MB kernel, so will
need action at that point in future in any case.
(Assuming that the bootloader did not have a 4 MB limit that
has been tested...)"

(squashed, added 4MiB notice of support in ipq806x)

The kernel of both images will no longer fit into
the 3072KiB / 3MiB kernel partition:
|Image Name: ARM OpenWrt Linux-5.10.100
|Created: Sat Feb 19 00:11:55 2022
|Image Type: ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
|Data Size: 3147140 Bytes = 3073.38 KiB = 3.00 MiB
Disable both targets for now, until a solution is available.

Increase the available flash memory size in Netgear R7800
by repurposing the unused "netgear" partition that is
located after the firmware partition.
Available flash space for kernel+rootfs+overlay increases
by 68 MB from 32 MB to 100 MB.
In a typical build, overlay space increases from 15 to 85,
increasing the package installation possibilities greatly.
Reverting to the OEM firmware is still possible, as the OEM
firmware contains logic to initialise the "netgear" partition
if its contents do not match expectations. In OEM firmware,
"netgear" contains 6 UBI sub-partitions that are defined in
/etc/netgear.cfg and initialisation is done by /etc/preinit
This is based on fb8a578aa7

The recent device-tree modification that added pre-cal
nvmem-cells pushed the device's kernel+dtb over the
allotted 3072k KERNEL_SIZE.
> WARNING: Image file tplink_vr2600v-uImage is too big: 3147214 > 3145728
There was a previous kernel partition size upgrade:
commit 0c967d92b3 ("ipq806x: increase kernel partition size for the TP-Link Archer VR2600v")
It has been seemingly upgraded from a 2048k KERNEL_SIZE in the past.
The commit talks about using the MTD_SPLIT_TPLINK_FW. But looking at
the image make recipe, there is no code that adds a TPLINK header.
So instead the board will use "denx,umimage". This requires
MTD_SPLIT_UIMAGE_FW, but this is present thanks to some NEC devices.
(Maybe the MTD_CONFIG_ARGS can be removed as well? But it could be
there because of the padding at the beginning. This needs testing.)

This commit moves the device profiles within the ipq806x/generic
subtarget into their own includable .mk file, to support eventually
having subtargets other than generic.
