This patch adds factory image building for the DGN3500, all variants,
and fixes sysupgrade images to make them play nice with the sercomm
secondary boot loader.
The factory images can be used directly in the update dialog in the
interface of the stock firmware and via the special Sercomm bootmode
and a special windows flashing utility (allegedly present in the CD
that came with the device -- but it's also compatible with the NSLU2
Upgrade_207_XP utility.) The special bootmode can be activated by
turning the device on while holding the reset button pressed, then
releasing it when the power led starts blinking red and green. Please
notice that if using the 207 utility, it will always report that the
flashing failed even though it completed successfully. Just power
cycle the router manually after the utility reports the failure and
OpenWRT will boot. This same utility (despite reporting failure in
this case too) can revert a DGN3500 (any variant) to the appropriate
stock Netgear firmware.
This patch is a heavily modified version of a package I found on the
OpenWRT forum with a couple fixes and features added -- mainly the
generation of all the different image variants to support all known
models directly, atm known variants are AnnexA-WW, AnnexA-NA and
AnnexB-DE/GR.
I tested the patch successfully on my device.

While the disadvantage is less available flash space, it's easy and
safe to flash without opening the device.
Going back to the original firmware is also possible.
This patch add two firmware utilities, mkbrncmdline and mkbrnboot.
mkbrncmdline patches the uncompressed kernel so the registeres a0 to
a3 are initialized and the memory size is passed in.
mkbrnboot takes the lzma compressed kernel and squashfs images and
creates a firmware image that can be flashed using the BRN-BOOT
recovery kernel, which is booted by holding both buttons when
powering up the device and will listen on http://192.168.2.1.
The firmware file from bin/lantiq/ to use is
openwrt-lantiq-danube-ARV4525PW-BRNDTW502-brnImage
The BRN-BOOT recovery kernel does size-check the image, so if it's
too big to fit into flash it will complain accordingly.
A second patch is needed to make the wired network interface work
since there is no u-boot to pre-initialise it.

This replaces the proprietary bcmImageBuilder program from the Broadcom source
drops. It basically adds a 256 bytes header in front of the kernel + rootfs
which contains a few text signatures, the locations of the data as well as the
checksums of the data and the tag. It also adds a 12 bytes header in front of
the LZMA kernel which contains the load address, kernel entry and the size of
the compressed LZMA data.
