Some targets need 4K sectors for small flash chips (e.g. some
routerboards, where the entire chip is just one "erase block"), whereas
on other devices 4K sectors lead to horrible flash erase/write
performance.
Set the default limit in the generic kernel configuration to 4 MiB to
ensure that all new platforms don't use 4K sectors for bigger flash
chips. On all existing targets use 16 MiB for now to avoid regressions.
They will be changed individually in follow-up commits.

The NXP LSDK kernel backported changes for interface ndo_get_stats64
functions from mainline, this causes a compile error with
backports/mac80211, which expects the original 4.9 defintion.
As reversing the ndo_get_stats64 change signifcantly reduces the size of
patch 601, the patches that were aggregated into it have been
disaggregated.

This is no requirement and plan to support 32-bit for ls1088ardb
and ls2088ardb. Current 32-bit firmware for them couldn't work,
so only keep 64-bit support for these two boards in menuconfig.

When build firmware for layerscape target with CONFIG_ALL_NONSHARED=y,
there would be a compile issue of usb ehci-fsl driver. Actually this
driver was for PPC platforms initially and was not ready for non-PPC
now, but a kernel kconfig patch removed PPC dependency for it. So that
kernel patch should be reverted.

These options are deactivating some kernel modules for IP blocks not
uses on this SoC. I saw the same when working with the ARM64 Marvell
board so it is better to move them to generic.

Layerscape uses Cortex-A53 or Cortex-A72 CPU. It's proper
to set below CPU_TYPE for 32-bit mode.

Rename subtargets 32b/64b with armv8_32b/armv8_64b which are

Backport kernel patches for LS1043A Rev1.1 support from upstream,
patchwork, and SDK. And update to latest u-boot to support LS1043A
Rev1.1.

Do not put the u-boot and ucode images into the kernel build directory as this
directory might get removed after kernel updates while the u-boot packages
InstallDev recipe is not getting re-executed because it is still considered
current, leading to image build failures later on due to missing images.
To ensure that built bootloader images persist over kernel version updates in
the buildroot, put them into the new STAGING_DIR_IMAGE directory.

The QorIQ LS1012A processor, optimized for battery-backed or
USB-powered, integrates a single ARM Cortex-A53 core with a hardware
packet forwarding engine and high-speed interfaces to deliver
line-rate networking performance.
QorIQ LS1012A Reference Design System (LS1012ARDB) is a high-performance
development platform, with a complete debugging environment.
The LS1012ARDB board supports the QorIQ LS1012A processor and is
optimized to support the high-bandwidth DDR3L memory and
a full complement of high-speed SerDes ports.
LEDE/OPENWRT will auto strip executable program file while make. So we
need select CONFIG_NO_STRIP=y while make menuconfig to avoid the ppfe network
fiemware be destroyed, then run make to build ls1012ardb firmware.
The fsl-quadspi flash with jffs2 fs is unstable and arise some failed message.
This issue have noticed the IP owner for investigate, hope he can solve it
earlier. So the ls1012ardb now also provide a xx-firmware.ext4.bin as default
firmware, and the uboot bootcmd will run wrtboot_ext4rfs for "rootfstype=ext4"
bootargs.
