Raise the kernel size from 3 MB to 5 MB for EA6350v3, EA8300 and MR8300,
and correspondingly reduce the rootfs size by 2 MB:
* modify partition definitions in related .dts files
* modify device kernel/image sizes in generic.mk
Update to compat-version 2.0 to force factory image usage on sysupgrade,
noting the current version 1.1 is an unreleased update for DSA migration.
Also update the compat-version message, explaining the need to run one of
the following console commands to update U-Boot's kernel-size variable
before flashing the OpenWrt factory image.
fw_setenv kernsize 500000 # (OpenWrt command line)
setenv kernsize 500000 ; saveenv # (U-Boot serial console)
Finally, re-enable the 3 devices.

with current images, the device is no longer booting.
It gets stuck in the bootloader with "Config not available"
and drops to the uboot shell.

This is because the default bootcmd "bootipq" will only read
the first four MiB of the kernel image. With 5.10 the gzip'd
kernel is slightly larger. So the part of the FIT image which
had the configuration is cut off. Hence it can't find it.
To update the bootcmd, you have to attach the serial console
again and enter the following commands into the boot prompt:
# setenv bootcmd "sf probe; sf read 84000000 180000 600000; bootm"
# saveenv
# run bootcmd
This will allow booting kernels with up to six MiB. This also
allows us to drop the DEVICE_DTS_CONFIG hack we had to use.
Note:
uboot doesn't support LZMA. It fails with:
"Unimplemented compression type 3"
