At some point our initramfs image grew over 6MB, which is
causing an issue when uncompressing in the stock bootloader:
=> bootm 0x5000000 - 0x1000000;
Image Name: Linux-4.19.24
Created: 2019-02-23 1:58:20 UTC
Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
Data Size: 6752470 Bytes = 6.4 MB
Load Address: 00000000
Entry Point: 00000000
Verifying Checksum ... OK
Booting using the fdt blob at 0x1000000
Uncompressing Kernel Image ... Error: inflate() returned -5
GUNZIP: uncompress, out-of-mem or overwrite error - must RESET
board to recover
Loading Device Tree to 00ffa000, end 00fffc78 ... OK
To get around this, we need to move to an uncompressed image
for the initramfs image. While this makes a larger image, it
is thankfully bootable so people can then convert their
devices to run OpenWRT. It's worth noting the non-initramfs
image is under 3M, so it will be ages before we have any issues
with the flashed kernel.

CPU: FSL P1020 (2x 800MHz E500 PPC)
RAM: 1GB DDR3
FLASH: 256MiB NAND
WiFi: 2x Atheros AR9382 2x2:2 abgn
ETH: 2x BCM54616S - 1x BCM53128 8-port switch
LED: 5x LEDs (Power, WiFi1, WiFi2, N/D, SYS)
BTN: 1x RESET
Installation
------------
1. Download initrams kernel image, dtb binary and sysupgrade image.
2. Place initramfs kernel into tftp root directory. Rename to
"panda-uimage-factory".
3. Place dtb binary into tftp root directory. Rename to "panda.fdt".
4. Start tftp server on 192.168.100.8/24.
5. Power up the device with the reset button pressed. It will download
the initrams and dtb via tftp and boot into OpenWRT in RAM.
6. SSH into the device and remove the factory partitions.
> ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 --name=kernel1
> ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 --name=rootfs1
> ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 --name=devicetree1
You will have around 60 MiB of free space with that.
You can also delete "kernel2", "devicetree2", "rootfs2" and "storage"
respectively in case you do not want to go back to the vendor firmware.
7. Modify the U-Boot bootcmd to allow for booting OpenWRT
> fw_setenv bootcmd_owrt "ubi part ubi && ubi read 0x1000000 kernel
&& bootm 0x1000000"
> fw_setenv bootargs_owrt "setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200
ubi.mtd=3,2048"
> fw_setenv bootcmd "run bootargs_owrt; run bootcmd_owrt"
8. Transfer the sysupgrade image via scp into the /tmp directory.
9. Upgrade the device
> sysupgrade -n /tmp/<imagename>

BTN: None
Installation
============
1. Power on the device while attached to the Console port.
2. Halt the U-Boot by pressing Enter when prompted.
3. Set the correct bootcmd for booting OpenWRT:
> setenv bootargs_owrt "setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200"
> setenv bootcmd "run bootargs_owrt;
nand read 0x1000000 0x300000 0x800000;
bootm 0x1000000;"
> saveenv
5. Rename OpenWRT initramfs image to 'kernel.bin' and place it in a
TFTP server root-directory served on 192.168.1.2/24. Connect your
computer to one of the LAN-ports.
4. Boot OpenWRT initramfs image with
> run bootargs_owrt; tftpboot 0x1000000 192.168.1.2:kernel.bin;
bootm 0x1000000;
6. (Optional)
Make a Backup of 'sophos-os1', 'sophos-os2' and 'sophos-data' in case
you ever want to go back to the vendor firmware.
7. Create Ubi Volume on mtd4 by executing
> ubiformat /dev/mtd4 -y
8. Transfer OpenWRT sysupgrade image to the device via SCP and install it
with
> sysupgrade -n <openwrt-image-file>
Back to Stock
=============
If you want to go back to the stock firmware, here is the bootcmd of the
vendor firmware:
> setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock5;
nand read 0xc00000 0x00300000 0x100000;
nand read 0x1000000 0x00400000 0x00800000;
bootm 0x1000000 - 0xc00000
Set it via 'setenv' from the U-Boot shell and don't forget to save it
using 'saveenv'!
After this, boot the OpenWRT initramfs image just like you would for
installation. Write back the three vendor partitions using mtd. Reboot
the device afterwards.

Initramfs image isn't required for this device and regular
initramfs generation isn't work properly. It create not working
binaries.
This patch disable initramfs image for TL-WDR4900.
Signed-off-by: Pawel Dembicki <paweldembicki@gmail.com>
Currently, the image creation process for the TP-Link tl-wdr4900-v1
needs a fixed sized kernel and places the rootfs partition at a
fixed offset. With the upcoming move to 4.19 the kernel will no
longer fit into the existing allocated space for the kernel
partition.
This patch converts the device to utilize the established
tplink,firmware mtdsplitter, which can deal with a dynamic
kernel/rootfs size.
