Consistently handle boot-count reset and upgrade across
ipq40xx, ipq806x, kirkwood, mvebu
Dual-firmware devices often utilize a specific MTD partition
to record the number of times the boot loader has initiated boot.
Most of these devices are NAND, typically with a 2k erase size.
When this code was ported to the ipq40xx platform, the device in hand
used NOR for this partition, with a 16-byte "record" size. As the
implementation of `mtd resetbc` is by-platform, the hard-coded nature
of this change prevented proper operation of a NAND-based device.
* Unified the "NOR" variant with the rest of the Linksys variants
* Added logging to indicate success and failure
* Provided a meaningful return value for scripting
* "Protected" the use of `mtd resetbc` in start-up scripts so that
failure does not end the boot sequence
* Moved Linksys-specific actions into common `/etc/init.d/bootcount`
For upgrade, these devices need to determine which partition to flash,
as well as set certain U-Boot envirnment variables to change the next
boot to the newly flashed version.
* Moved upgrade-related environment changes out of bootcount
* Combined multiple flashes of environment into single one
* Current-partition detection now handles absence of `boot_part`

[checkpatch.pl fixes, traded split strings for 80+ chars per line]
Convert whole target to Device Tree based board detection instead of
identifying devices by dts file name. With this we can drop mvebu.sh
translation script and rely on common method for model detection.

Linksys WRT32X (Venom) is identical in hardware to the WRT3200ACM
with a different flash layout and boots zImage rather than uImage.
Specification:
- Marvell Armada 385 88F6820 (2x 1.8GHz)
- 256MB of Flash
- 512MB of RAM
- 2.4GHz (bgn) and 5GHz (an+ac wave 2)
- 4x 1Gbps LAN + 1x 1Gbps WAN
- 1x USB 3.0 and 1x USB 2.0/eSATA (combo port)
Flash instruction:
Apply factory image via web-gui.

The u-boot boot counter was never reset after a successful boot,
which sometimes could make some variables become out of sync.
This patch adds support for the boot counter and enables
auto_recovery unconditionally.
