This allows booting bigger ramdisk images via TFTP at the cost of breaking 32M
RAM compatibility, but those devices have been unable to boot ramdisks on this
target for some time anyway due to not having enough RAM.

Apart from the embedded BCM63268 wireless, this device has an external BCM4360
connected by PCIe which needs a fallback SPROM.
b43 isn't enabled for this device because BCM4360 isn't supported (AC PHY).

Apart from the embedded BCM6362 wireless, Netgear DGND3700v2 has external
BCM43228 wireless connected by PCIe.
Fallback SPROM isn't needed for this one because it has a physical SPROM.

Stop using bmips b43-sprom fixups and switch to generic bcma/ssb fallback
SPROMs. This way we don't need to include the b43-sprom fixups on devices
without Broadcom wireless.

BMIPS is a generic arch that can be used for multiple Broadcom SoCs, each one
with its own specific drivers, so instead of having a huge kernel supporting
all of them, let's switch to a subtarget per SoC like other OpenWrt targets.

Sercomm SHG2500 is a BCM63168 with 128M of RAM, 256M of NAND, an external
BCM53124S switch for the LAN ports and internal/external Broadcom wifi.
LEDs are connected to an external MSP430G2513 MCU controlled via SPI.

Make use of sercomm-pid script for generating the Sercomm PID, which avoids
having to add an array of hex bytes for every new Sercomm device.

SERCOMM_VERSION is ambiguous and it should be more clear that it refers to the
version used for the filesystem.

Sercomm H-500s is a BCM63268 with 128M, internal and external (Quantenna) wifi
and external BCM53134S switch.
This device is already supported in bcm63xx target, so more information can be
found in https://openwrt.org/toh/sercomm/h500-s.
It's a perfect example of a device with internal and external switch
coexistance since most devices only have ports on one of the switches but not
both of them.

This target has full device tree support, thus reducing the number of
patches needed for bcm63xx, in which there's a patch for every board.
The intention is to start with a minimal amount of downstream patches and
start upstreaming all of them.
Current status:
- Enabling EHCI/OHCI on BCM6358 causes a kernel panic.
- BCM63268 lacks Timer Clocks/Reset support.
- No PCI/PCIe drivers.
- No ethernet drivers.
