All NETGEAR EX6150v2 validate the rootfs for which OpenWrt places a fakeheader at the position, where the bootloader expects it. Some EX6150v2 bootloaders do however make a broken assumption about where the rootfs starts. This is due to them calculating the rootfs start not based upon the kernel-length but the string-offset of the FIT-image. We have to be compatible with both this broken as well as the valid calculation. So we do relocate the FDT string section to a block-boundary and enlarge the FIT image to end at this boundary + BLOCKSIZE / 2. This way, both the broken as well as correct calculations do expect the rootfs-header at the same position. It is worth noting, that this is a rare edge-case in which only happens if the image-length as well as the start of the string-section are not placed in the same erase-block. This is an edge-case which happens very rarely (thus it was not spotted prior).
