Drop the factory images and the firmware tool to create them. They don't
work any more, since the factory image has an uImage header covering the
whole kernel + rootfs. This way the uImage splitter will not be able to
find the rootfs and the kernel will panic later on.
The factory images were most likely added at a time the board had
distinct partitions for kernel and rootfs.

The current make-ras.sh image generation script for the ZyXEL NBG6617
has portability issues with bash. Because of this, factory images are
currently not built correctly by the OpenWRT buildbots.
This commit replaces the make-ras.sh by C-written mkrasimage.
The new mkrasimage is also compatible with other ZyXEL devices using
the ras image-format.
This is not tested with the NBG6616 but it correctly builds the
header for ZyXEL factory image.

This adds a tool to generate a firmware file accepted
by Netgear or sercomm devices.
They use a zip-packed rootfs with header and a custom
checksum. The generated Image can be flashed via the
nmrpflash tool or the webinterface of the router.

It can be a replacement for the trx tool. The advantage is that otrx
doesn't alloc buffer for the whole TRX which can be a nice optimization
when creating big images.

This patch carves out the duplicated code of mktplinfw.c and
mktplinkfw2.c and moves it to mktplinkfw-lib.c
This change is a semantic NOP (the code is unchanged).
To ensure compatibility with gcc-5.x and newer without changing
the code, -fgnu89-inline is added to the build flags for these
two binaries.

The sum variable need to be initialised, otherwise it will points to
random stack memory and a bogus image checksum might be calculated.
While at it, fix the segfault in case the product region code isn't
specified and enable compiler warnings which had revealed all the code
issues.

The firmware image that is used in TP-Link RE450 (and some more devices from
the RE series) is tplink-safeloader.
In the kernel partition, the kernel is compressed in a regular tp-link
firmware that is just used for booting. Since it is only used for compressing
and booting, only four fields are filled in the header:
Vendor, version, kernel load address and kernel entry point.
mktplinkfw-kernel is a simpler version of mktpolinkfw that generate such
images. It also specifies the hardware id (as it is in the product info
section), so when doing a sysupgrade - the existing code will check for
hardware compatibility.

It has an important feature (compared to seama) of using multiple input
files, aligning them and padding zeroes until reaching a specified
absolute offset. This is needed for a proper flash layout on NAND. We
want kernel partition to be big enough to handle future updates without
a need to resize it and wipe whole "ubi" partition. It's important as
we don't want to lose block counters.

The new TP-LINK Pharos series uses a new bootloader, the "TP-LINK Safeloader".
It uses an advanced firmware image format, containing an image partition table
and a flash partition table (and image partitions are mapped to the
corresponding flash partitions). The exact image format is documented in the
source code.
Furthermore, the bootloader expects the kernel image as an ELF executable.

This patch adds factory image building for the DGN3500, all variants,
and fixes sysupgrade images to make them play nice with the sercomm
secondary boot loader.
The factory images can be used directly in the update dialog in the
interface of the stock firmware and via the special Sercomm bootmode
and a special windows flashing utility (allegedly present in the CD
that came with the device -- but it's also compatible with the NSLU2
Upgrade_207_XP utility.) The special bootmode can be activated by
turning the device on while holding the reset button pressed, then
releasing it when the power led starts blinking red and green. Please
notice that if using the 207 utility, it will always report that the
flashing failed even though it completed successfully. Just power
cycle the router manually after the utility reports the failure and
OpenWRT will boot. This same utility (despite reporting failure in
this case too) can revert a DGN3500 (any variant) to the appropriate
stock Netgear firmware.
This patch is a heavily modified version of a package I found on the
OpenWRT forum with a couple fixes and features added -- mainly the
generation of all the different image variants to support all known
models directly, atm known variants are AnnexA-WW, AnnexA-NA and
AnnexB-DE/GR.
I tested the patch successfully on my device.

While the disadvantage is less available flash space, it's easy and
safe to flash without opening the device.
Going back to the original firmware is also possible.
This patch add two firmware utilities, mkbrncmdline and mkbrnboot.
mkbrncmdline patches the uncompressed kernel so the registeres a0 to
a3 are initialized and the memory size is passed in.
mkbrnboot takes the lzma compressed kernel and squashfs images and
creates a firmware image that can be flashed using the BRN-BOOT
recovery kernel, which is booted by holding both buttons when
powering up the device and will listen on http://192.168.2.1.
The firmware file from bin/lantiq/ to use is
openwrt-lantiq-danube-ARV4525PW-BRNDTW502-brnImage
The BRN-BOOT recovery kernel does size-check the image, so if it's
too big to fit into flash it will complain accordingly.
A second patch is needed to make the wired network interface work
since there is no u-boot to pre-initialise it.
