b3770eaca3 mtd: base-files: Unify dual-firmware devices (Linksys)
Consistently handle boot-count reset and upgrade across
ipq40xx, ipq806x, kirkwood, mvebu

Dual-firmware devices often utilize a specific MTD partition
to record the number of times the boot loader has initiated boot.

Most of these devices are NAND, typically with a 2k erase size.
When this code was ported to the ipq40xx platform, the device in hand
used NOR for this partition, with a 16-byte "record" size. As the
implementation of `mtd resetbc` is by-platform, the hard-coded nature
of this change prevented proper operation of a NAND-based device.

* Unified the "NOR" variant with the rest of the Linksys variants

* Added logging to indicate success and failure

* Provided a meaningful return value for scripting

* "Protected" the use of `mtd resetbc` in start-up scripts so that
   failure does not end the boot sequence

* Moved Linksys-specific actions into common `/etc/init.d/bootcount`

For upgrade, these devices need to determine which partition to flash,
as well as set certain U-Boot envirnment variables to change the next
boot to the newly flashed version.

* Moved upgrade-related environment changes out of bootcount

* Combined multiple flashes of environment into single one

* Current-partition detection now handles absence of `boot_part`

Runtime-tested: Linksys EA8300

de3387654b mvebu: add images for additional ESPRESSObin boards
This commit adds support for different iterations of ESPRESSObin.
The added variants are:

ESPRESSObin with soldered eMMC,

ESPRESSObin V7, compared to V5 some passive elements changed and ethernet
ports labels positions have been reversed,

ESPRESSObin V7 with soldered eMMC.

Please refer to:

for instruction how to boot OpenWrt image placed on SD card. It is
advised for owners of V5 and previous with bootloader based on U-Boot

fb005d688e mvebu: image: introduce BOOT_SCRIPT variable
All of U-Boot scripts repeat the same pattern with only Device Tree blob
name changing for respective device. Therefore create generic scripts
which will be altered on demad by image build process, and create
BOOT_SCRIPT variable which can be added to device recipe and will allow
referencing the same script by many device recipes. This will allow to
slim down the ammount of files in buildroot tree and avoid needlessly
incrementing amount of boot scripts if new devices will be added.

46af22de16 kernel: Remove CONFIG_COMPAT
This removes support for executing old 32 bit applications on 64 bit ARM

On OpenWrt we normally compile all the user space applications on our
own and do not support third party binary only modules especial not 32
bit applications on 64 bit CPUs.

This reduces the attack surface on such systems and should also save

CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_OMAP is explicitly activated for the cortexa72

The same happens for ath5k cards, while ath10k card didn't appear at
all (not detected):

Following the issue on esppressobin.net forum [1] the workaround seems
to be limiting the speed of PCIe bridge to 1st generation. This fixed
the initialisation of all tested Atheros wireless cards.

The change shouldn't affect the performance for wireless cards,
it could reduce the performance of storage controller cards but since
OpenWrt focuses on wireless connectivity, fixing compatibility with
wireless cards should be a priority.

For the record, the iwlwifi and mt76 cards were not affected by this
issue.
