Use a similar upgrade method for sysupgrade.bin, like factory.bin,
for Senao boards with the tar.gz OEM upgrade platform,
and 'failsafe' image which is loaded on checksum failure.
This is inspired by the OEM upgrade script /etc/fwupgrade.sh
and the existing platforms for dual-boot Senao boards.
Previously, if the real kernel was damaged or missing
the only way to recover was with UART serial console,
because the OKLI lzma-loader is programmed to halt.
uboot did not detect cases where kernel or rootfs is damaged
and boots OKLI instead of the failsafe image,
because the checksums stored in uboot environment
did not include the real kernel and rootfs space.
Now, the stored checksums include the space for both
the lzma-loader, kernel, and rootfs.
Therefore, these boards are now practically unbrickable.
Also, the factory.bin and sysupgrade.bin are now the same,
except for image metadata.
This allows for flashing OEM image directly from openwrt
as well as flashing openwrt image directly from OEM.
Make 'loader' partition writable so that it can be updated
during a sysupgrade.

ath79/tiny kernel config has
CONFIG_MTD_SPI_NOR_USE_4K_SECTORS=y
from commit
05d35403b2
Because of this, these changes are required for 2 reasons:
1.
Senao devices in ath79/tiny
with a 'failsafe' partition and the tar.gz sysupgrade platform
and a flash chip that supports 4k sectors
will fail to reboot to openwrt after a sysupgrade.
the stored checksum is made with the 64k blocksize length
of the image to be flashed,
and the actual checksum changes after flashing due to JFFS2 space
being formatted within the length of the rootfs from the image
example:
0x440000 length of kernel + rootfs (from sysupgrade.bin)
0x439000 offset of rootfs_data (from kernel log)
2.
for boards with flash chips that support 4k sectors:
saving configuration over sysupgrade is not possible
because sysupgrade.tgz is appended at a 64k boundary
and the mtd parser starts JFFS2 at a 4k boundary.
for boards with flash chips that do not support 4k sectors:
partitioning with 4k boundaries causes a boot loop
from the mtd parser not finding kernel and rootfs.
Also:
Some of the Senao boards that belong in ath79/tiny,
for example ENH202,
have a flash chip that does not support 4k sectors
(no SECT_4K symbol in upstream source).
Because of this, partitioning must be different for these devices
depending on the flash chip model detected by the kernel.
Therefore:
this creates 2 DTSI files
to replace the single one with 64k partitioning
for 4k and 64k partitioning respectively.
