...and max flash offset
The mtdsplit parser was recently refactored
to allow the kernel to have custom image header magic.
Let's also do this for the lzma-loader
For example:
When implemented together,
this allows the kernel to "appear" to be a rootfs
by OEM software in order to write an image
that is actually kernel + rootfs.
At the same time,
it would boot to openwrt normally
by setting the same magic in DTS.
Both of the variables
have a default value that is unchanged
when not defined in the makefiles
This has no effect on the size of the loader
when lzma compressed.

The factory images need to embed specific IDs to pass verification with
the OEM firmware (including TFTP recovery), so they need to be
per-device variables.

The majority of our targets provide a default value for the variable
SUPPORTED_DEVICES, which is used in images to check against the
compatible on a running device:
SUPPORTED_DEVICES := $(subst _,$(comma),$(1))
At the moment, this is implemented in the Device/Default block of
the individual targets or even subtargets. However, since we
standardized device names and compatible in the recent past, almost
all targets are following the same scheme now:
device/image name: vendor_model
compatible: vendor,model
The equal redundant definitions are a symptom of this process.
Consequently, this patch moves the definition to image.mk making it
a global default. For the few targets not using the scheme above,
SUPPORTED_DEVICES will be defined to a different value in
Device/Default anyway, overwriting the default. In other words:
This change is supposed to be cosmetic.
This can be used as a global measure to get the current compatible
with: $(firstword $(SUPPORTED_DEVICES))
(Though this is not precisely an achievement of this commit.)

Many target use a repetitive if-include scheme for their subtarget
image files, though their names are consistent with the subtarget
names.
This patch removes these redundant conditions and just uses the
variable for the include where the target setup allows it.
For sunxi, this includes a trivial rename of the subtarget image
Makefiles.

This commit creates the ath79/mikrotik subtarget in order to support
MikroTik devices based on Qualcomm Atheros MIPS SoCs.
MikroTik devices need a couple of specific features: the split MiNOR
firmware MTD format, which is not used by other devices, and the 4k
sector erase size on SPI NOR storage, which can not be added to the
ath79/generic and ath79/nand subtargets now.
Additionally, the commit moves the two MikroTik devices already in
the generic and nand subtargets to this new one.
Tested on the RB922 board and the wAP AC router.

IMAGE_SIZE is widely used in many targets. Declare it in the default template to

In certain cases, the uncompressed initramfs image will overwrite
the lzma-loader, which is currently only 10 MB away from kernel image
start. To prevent this, change LZMA_TEXT_START to 24 MB, so loader
and compressed image have 8 MB at the end of RAM and uncompressed
image has 24 MB available.
This is only enabled for ath79 at the moment, as there we can be sure
that all devices have 32+ MB RAM and TARGET_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_LZMA
is not enabled there.
Despite, since lzma-loader is currently build specifically for ath79
anyway, there is no need to re-specify LOADADDR and LZMA_TEXT_START
in image/Makefile, so the values are set directly in
image/lzma-loader/Makefile and the overwrite in image/Makefile is
removed.

Specifications:
- SoC: AR9341
- RAM: 64M
- Flash: 16M
- Ethernet: 1 * FE port
- WiFi: ar934x-wmac
- Sound: WM8918 DAC
1 * 3.5mm headphone jack
2 * RCA connectors for speakers
1 * SPDIF out
- USB: 1 * USB2.0 port
Flash instruction:
Upload generated factory image via vendor's web interface.
Notes:
A. Audio stuff:
1. Since AR934x, all pins for peripheral blocks can be mapped to
any available GPIOs. We currently don't have a PCM/I2S driver
for AR934x so pinmux for i2s and SPDIF are bound to i2c gpio
node. This should be moved into I2S node when a PCM/I2S driver
is available.
2. The i2c-gpio node is for WM8918. DT binding for it can't be added
currently due to a missing clock from I2S PLL.
B. Factory image:
Image contains a image header and a tar.gz archive.
1. Header: A 288 byte header that has nothing to do with appended
tarball. Format:
0x0-0x7 and 0x18-0x1F: magic values
0x20: Model number string
0xFC: Action string. It's either "update" or "backup"
0x11C: A 1 byte checksum. It's XOR result of 0x8-0x11B
Firmware doesn't care about the rest of the header as long as
checksum result is correct.
The same header is used for backup and update routines so the
magic values and model number can be obtained by generating a
backup bin and grab values from it.
2. Tarball: It contains two files named uImage and rootfs, which
will be flashed into corresponding mtd partition.
Writing a special utility that can only output a fixed binary
blob is overkill so factory image header is placed under
image/bin instead.
C. LED
The wifi led has "Wi-Fi" marked on the case but vendor's firmware
used it as system status indicator. I did the same in this device
support patch.
D. Firmware
Factory u-boot is built without 'savenv' support so it's impossible
to change kernel offset. A 2MB kernel partition won't be enough in
the future. OKLI loader is used here to migrate this problem:
1. add OKLI image magic support into uImage parser.
2. build an OKLI loader, compress it with lzma and add a normal
uImage header.
3. flash the loader to where the original kernel supposed to be.
4. create a uImage firmware using OKLI loader.
5. flash the created firmware to where rootfs supposed to be.
By doing so, u-boot will start OKLI loader, which will then load
the actual kernel at 0x20000.
The kernel partition is 2MB, which is too much for our loader.
To save this space, "mtd-concat" is used here:
1. create a 64K (1 erase block) partition for OKLI loader and
create another partition with the left space.
2. concatenate rootfs and this partition into a virtual flash.
3. use the virtual flash for firmware partition.
Currently OKLI loader is flashed with factory image only.
sysupgrade won't replace it. Since it only has one function
and it works for several years, its unlikely to have some bugs
that requires a replacement.
