Some targets need 4K sectors for small flash chips (e.g. some
routerboards, where the entire chip is just one "erase block"), whereas
on other devices 4K sectors lead to horrible flash erase/write
performance.
Set the default limit in the generic kernel configuration to 4 MiB to
ensure that all new platforms don't use 4K sectors for bigger flash
chips. On all existing targets use 16 MiB for now to avoid regressions.
They will be changed individually in follow-up commits.

Without this, posix_[fm]advise does not work. This causes issues with
btrfs-progs, which uses fadvise to drop caches.

When the kmod-at91-adc package is activated for the at91 target the new
option CONFIG_AT91_SAMA5D2_ADC is selectable and not handled. Add this
option to the kernel 4.9 configuration.

This adds support for kernel 4.9 and replaces the kernel 4.4 support.
These are lynxis test results:
panda-board a3 - works, but no network, but master/4.4 doesn't have network either.
panda-board-a4 - u-boot SPL refuse to boot.
beaglebone-black - works
beagle-board - usb attached network doesn't come up and I doesn't have a serial around.
beagle-board-xm - ToDo: image code is missing.
Kernel 4.4 does not look better, so we merge this anyway.

These options are deactivating some kernel modules for IP blocks not
uses on this SoC. I saw the same when working with the ARM64 Marvell
board so it is better to move them to generic.

Add patches-4.9, some of them (heavily) rewritten:
- ea4500 is upstream available, keep only LEDE changes in dts
- ea3500 is changed to match the structure of the upstream ea4500 dts
- nsa310s rewritten to include the common dtsi
- nsa325 is dropped, since already upstream

In preparation for bumping mxs target to 4.9, disable a bunch of configuration

CONFIG_SG_POOL symbol is selected only by CONFIG_SCSI, since the last
one is disabled by default then disable CONFIG_SG_POOL by default too.
And explicitly enable it only for platforms that use CONFIG_SCSI.

Deactivate all the ARM64 erratums by default. The target code should
activate them if needed. This fixes a problem with a new erratum added
in kernel 4.9.17 breaking brcm2708.

This is the standard way we handle this. Please note (it seems) I could
drop few symbols as they are hidden under (disabled) DRM_LEGACY now.

The RouterBOOT bootloader does not care where the kernel lives in the SPI
flash, all that matters is that the kernel is wrapped in the custom yaffs
container as generated by kernel2minor.
This container has a fixed signature as follows:
00000000 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 ff ff 6b 65 72 6e 65 6c |..........kernel|
This patch adds mtdsplit support for identifying that signature and
triggering the search for the rootfs. rootfs is expected at EB boundary since
we use wget mtd_find_rootfs_from(). We make no use of the yaffs file size
field because it contains invalid data in the image generated by kernel2minor.
