The flash layout on the Storlink reference design for Gemini
is using 2 MB flash for the kernel, and it also insists on
overwriting the partition table with default values on every
boot. The same is true for the SQ201. This poses a problem
on recent OpenWrt firmware as the base zImage is bigger
than 2 MB.
At the same time there is a ramdisk partition of 6 MB that we
don't really need. The partition table looks like this:
Creating 7 MTD partitions on "30000000.flash":
0x000000000000-0x000000016000 : "BOOT"
0x000000120000-0x000000320000 : "Kern"
0x000000320000-0x000000920000 : "Ramdisk"
0x000000920000-0x000000f20000 : "Application"
0x000000f20000-0x000000f40000 : "VCTL"
0x000000f40000-0x000000fe0000 : "CurConf"
0x000000fe0000-0x000001000000 : "FIS directory"
On boot the "Kern" partition is copied to RAM @0x01600000
and the "Ramdisk" partition is copied to RAM @0x00800000.
Then the kernel is executed.
The idea with this patch is to extend the "Kern" partition
with the "Ramdisk" partition to get a full 8 MB to use
for the kernel. Then we put the OpenWrt JFFS2 rootfs
inside the "Application" partition.
We create a small assembly loop that we prepend to the
"Kern" image that will copy the "Kern" from 0x0160000
and the "Ramdisk" from 0x00800000 and put them in
consecutive space at 0x00400000 and execute it from
there, using "Application" as rootfs.
We generate 3 main files:
- zImage - contains the assembly bootstrap loop and
the first part of the generated kernel image
- rd.gz - contains the second part of the generated
kernel image
- hddapp.tgz - contains the root filesystem
On the SQ201 I flash these manually using the native boot
loader PLATO, "Y" alternative for the zImage, "R" for
the rd.gz image and "A" for hddapp.tgz.
This works fine and I can now boot to prompt on the SQ201
with nothing but flash.

[cleanup in platform.sh, removed superfluous SUPPORTED_DEVICES]
We currently generate a kernel that boots from the harddrive
in the DIR-685. That's not how we usually do things, so
let's augment it to boot from flash and mount the rootfs
using squashfs and JFFS2 like everyone else.
Partition splitting only work when the partitions are
inside of a "partitions" node which is why we have a patch
like this (submitted upstream).
Another patch drops the rootfs arguments and renames the
firmware partition while adding the compatible "wrg"
to it so the WRGG parser will kick in.
Factory image was tested by bravely reflashing the DIR-685
from stock firmware using the web UI and the serial console
boot loader.

This makes OpenWrt build an Ext2+Ext4 partitioned image
for the D-Link DNS-313 with two blank partitions, a boot
partition on /dev/sda3 and a rootfs partition on
/dev/sda4.
This uses the methods already used in apm821xx including
the tricks to convert the generated Ext2 filesystem
partition to version 1 so that the firmware bootloader
will properly recognize it.
We patch a bit around the build files to make sure we
get the rootfs size set and that genext2fs is properly
built.
Tested on the D-Link DNS-313.

They were dropped with 6409b159e8 ("gemini: switch to 4.14") without
any explaination.
The image generation is disabled for now as it would break the build for
the target. The mkfwimage2 call need to be adjusted to reflect the real
size of kernel and rootfs. Nevertheless, add the required code to give
interested parties a chance to fix the remaining issues.
The dts would need to use the ecoscentric,redboot-fis-partitions
partition parser to get the correct partition offsets and size. It's
expected that the OEM firmware adjusts the on flash partition table with
the values defined in the image header.

Both Build/sq201-images and Build/nas4220b-images scripts
are very similar. This patch unifies both methods at the
cost of renaming the produced sysupgrade file names, but
with the benifit of creating better reproducible files.
The patch also fixes a race in parallel builds in which case
the ImageInfo of one device could end up in both sysupgrade
files.

I noticed that the image generator for the Gemini generates
some 10+ MB files for the second (application) partition.
This is just wrong. The first 6144K partition named initramfs
easily fits OpenWRTs squashfs,jffs2 overlayed partitions
with nice headroom for storing configuration files.
Generate a blank partition for the hddapp.tgz file and delete
it after generating the firmware image - when performing
updates manually you just want the "rd.z" file around
anyways.

This creates a new kernel package for the fotg210 host
controller and uses that with the gemini to shrink the

This generates the "rd.gz" and "hddapp.tgz" that doesn't contain

Since the D-Link devices boot from hard disk we need to
add the following changes to Gemini:
- Supply a bootarg in the device tree so we can boot from
the right partition (/dev/sda4 on DNS-313)
- Disable forced command line in config so the kernel picks
up the right bootargs from the device tree
- Enable EXT4 in the config as this is used for rootfs else
we get nowhere, we cannot load this as a module because,
well, it is supposed to be loaded from the root partition
(chicken and egg problem).
- Enable jbd2 and mbcache (needed by ext4)
Also clean out the premature attempts to dynamically
modify the command line in the Image makefile: we should
pass this with the device tree bootargs instead, it works
much better.

IMG_PREFIX can be modified in ImageBuilder by passing EXTRA_IMAGE_NAME
on command line, but Image/Prepare is not run in ImageBuilder. This
causes missing files when IMG_PREFIX is used for target file names in
Image/Prepare, then as source file names in Image/BuildKernel or
Image/Build.
Fix this by using a fixed output file name in Image/Prepare, and copy to
the expected file name in Image/BuildKernel instead, which is run by
ImageBuilder.
