Add a new kernel config option for generic firmware partition
split support and change the uImage split support to depend on
the new option. Aslo rename the MTD_UIMAGE_SPLIT_NAME option to
MTD_SPLIT_FIRMWARE_NAME to make it more generic.
The patch is in preparation for multiple firmware format
support.

Separate OpenWrt specific MTD options from the mainline
option by moving those into a new submenu in the kernel
configuration interface.

The Linksys wrt310n v1 does not have a robo_reset config variable in
nvram, but GPIO Pin 8 is the pin needed for resetting the external
switch, Linksys hard coded it into their source code.
Thank you Devastator for testing.

- change patch numbers to group the related stuff together,
- add mtd prefix where it is missing,
- use hyphens in the patch names

The skb is usually started by a padding which allows the protocols in the
network stack to add their headers in front of the payload. The skb can be
reallocated in case the preallocated padding is not large enough. This can for
example happen in the function __skb_cow which will check the requested extra
headroom and allocate more buffer when the requested headroom is bigger than
the available one. The extra buffer is aligned again to the multiple of the
NET_SKB_PAD of the target architecture.
The macro used to create the multiple of the NET_SKB_PAD is written in a way
which allows only values power two as alignment parameter. The currently used
value of 48 bytes can not be written as n ** 2 but as 2 ** 4 + 2 ** 5. The
extra buffer is therefore not always the multiple of 48 but can be 16, 64, 80,
128, 144 and so on. The generated values are also not monotonic (48 requested
bytes are mapped to 80 allocated bytes and 49 requested bytes are mapped to 64
allocated bytes).
These unexpected small values result in more reallocations of the buffer. This
was noticed prominently during tests between two QCA9558 720 MHz devices which
were connected via ethernet to PCs and had a HT40 802.11n 3x3 link between each
other. The throughput PC-to-PC during iperf TCP runs increased reliable from
186 Mibit/s to 214 Mibit/s in one direction and from 195 Mibit/s to 220 Mibit/s
in the other direction. This is a performance increase of ~14% just by reducing
the amount of reallocations.

BCM5365 (and probably other older variants) use a different phy id, so
the phy driver never attached for them.
Fix this by adding the appropriate phy id to the fixup and the phy
driver.

The myloader partition parser code uses ifdef wrappers
to make the code usable on kernels below version 3.2.
All targets are using kernel 3.3 at least so the wraper
is not needed. Remove that.

Fixes the following build error on ramips/rt3883:
arch/mips/pci/pci-rt3883.c:488:3: error: implicit declaration of function \
'of_pci_get_devfn' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
Although the function is only used by the PCI driver
of the RT3883 SoC but at the moment but it might be
useful for other targets as well.
