mpc85xx: Use uncompressed kernel on the HiveAP-330 

It seems that newer builds of OpenWRT have a gzip kernel
larger than 2MB~, which for some reason fails to boot on this board.

However, we have 8MB of kernel space and currently the uncompressed
kernel is 6.5MB~, so we have some space to grow until a better
solution is worked out.

Before:
