David Bauer 5bd6d9377d mpc85xx-p1010: add Kernel 5.10 support
Tested on: Sophos RED 15W

The TP-Link WL-WDR4900 needs to be disabled when 5.10 becomes the
default kernel.

When building with all kmods enabled, the resulting kernel image
exceeds the maximum size the bootloader reads from the flash.

For more information, see GitHub issue #1773
