This reduces open coding and allows to easily add a knob to enable
it treewide, where chosen packages can still opt-out via "no-lto".
Some packages used LTO, but not the linker plugin. This unifies 'em
all to attempt to produce better code.
Quoting man gcc(1):
"This improves the quality of optimization by exposing more code to the
link-time optimizer."
Also use -flto=auto instead of -flto=jobserver, as it's not guaranteed
that every buildsystem uses +$(MAKE) correctly.

This target has been mostly replaced by ath79 and won't be included
in the upcoming release anymore. Finally put it to rest.
This also removes all references in packages, tools, etc. as well as
the uboot-ar71xx and vsc73x5-ucode packages.

This adds an option to set the recovery flag of newer TP-Link MediaTek
boards and remove it after a successful write.
To make use of this feature, add the '-t' option to mtd-write.
The '-t' option takes the mtd partition containing the recovery flag
(usually 'romfile') as an argument. Make sure this partition is not
flagged as read-only!
Example:
> mtd -t romfile write owrt.bin firmware
This command writes the recovery-flag before it begins writing the image
to the firmware partition. After the image-write has been successful,
the recovery flag is removed.
This way, the TP-Link web-recovery is automatically enabled on an
unsucessful flash (e.g. power loss).
This option is only available if the mtd package is compiled for the
ramips target.

First of all lengths should be compared after checking all blocks for
being good/bad. It's because requested length may differ from a final
one if there were some bad blocks.
Secondly it makes sense to also compare crc32 since we already have a
new one calculated.

Reading MTD data with (p)read doesn't return any error when accessing
bad block. As the result, with current code, CRC32 covers "data" stored
in bad blocks.
That behavior doesn't match CFE's one (bootloader simply skips bad
blocks) and may result in:
1) Invalid CRC32
2) CFE refusing to boot firmware with a following error:
Boot program checksum is invalid
Fix that problem by checking every block before reading its content.

The mtd tool is built with different configurations depending on the
target. For example, brcm47xx adds the fixtrx subcommand, without which
an image fails when booting the second time.
Mark the mtd package as nonshared to really fix FS#484.

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.

Note, that licensing stuff is a nightmare: many packages does not clearly
state their licenses, and often multiple source files are simply copied
together - each with different licensing information in the file headers.
I tried hard to ensure, that the license information extracted into the OpenWRT's
makefiles fit the "spirit" of the packages, e.g. such small packages which
come without a dedicated source archive "inherites" the OpenWRT's own license
in my opinion.
However, I can not garantee that I always picked the correct information
and/or did not miss license information.
