Robert Marko e247763617 ath25: drop target
ath25 has been on life support for the last couple of releases, eventually
leading to marking it as source-only in 2023.

It has been basically only touched to do a kernel bump so that we can make
the new OpenWrt release which was a challenge due to small RAM amount.

However, with the attempt of kernel 6.1 update it turns out that kernel
cannot even finish booting due to RAM constraints, so its time to let this
target go.

+ help
+ MyLoader is a bootloader which allows the user to define partitions
+ in flash devices, by putting a table in the second erase block
+ on the device, similar to a partition table. This table gives the
+ offsets and lengths of the user defined partitions.
+
+ If you need code which can detect and parse these tables, and
+ register MTD 'partitions' corresponding to each image detected,
+ enable this option.
+
+ You will still need the parsing functions to be called by the driver
+ for your particular device. It won't happen automatically.
