Drop the factory images and the firmware tool to create them. They don't
work any more, since the factory image has an uImage header covering the
whole kernel + rootfs. This way the uImage splitter will not be able to
find the rootfs and the kernel will panic later on.
The factory images were most likely added at a time the board had
distinct partitions for kernel and rootfs.

as indicated in commit c5bf408ed6 "(ramips: fix image generation for mt76x8")
more rework was needed to fix the other issues.
Building on another machine, but using the same arch, showed
the application failing again for different reasons.
Fix this by completely rewriting the application, fixing following found issues:
- buffer overflows, resulting in stack corruption
- flaws in memory requirement calculations (too small, too large)
- memory leaks
- missing bounds checking on string handling
- non-reproducable images, by using unitilized memory in checksum calculation
- missing error handling, resulting in succes on specific image errors
- endianness errors when building on BE machines
- various minor build warnings
- documentation did not match the code actions (header item locations)
- allowing input to be decimal, hex or octal now

This patch adds a new type of ubiquiti image, the WA image. First seen
on the NanoStation AC loco the generic name implies that we will see
this type of image on more ubiquiti devices thus it makes sense to
implement it in mkfwimage.
The main difference is that WA images are signed. The "END" header has
been replaced by a "ENDS" header followed by a 2048 bit RSA signature.
This signature is not being generated by mkfwimage and filled with 0x00.

The current make-ras.sh image generation script for the ZyXEL NBG6617
has portability issues with bash. Because of this, factory images are

This commit replaces the make-ras.sh by C-written mkrasimage.

Add support to dynamically split the firmware partition into os-image
and file-system partitions. This is done by replacing those entries in
the partition table with a single unified firmware partition, which is
then split according to actual kernel image size.
The factory image will have the file-system partition aligned to a 64K
erase block, but the sysupgrade image skips this and aligns only the
JFFS2 EOF marker to squeeze out more space.
This should prevent further creeping updates to the kernel partition
size while maximizing space for the overlay filesystem on smaller
devices.

Add an option (-O) to calculate rootfs offset for combined images.
This is needed for the TP-Link mtdsplit driver to locate the rootfs
when the start is not aligned to an erase block. This will be the
case for sysupgrade images produced by tplink-safeloader with upcoming
dynamic partition splitting.

This PR adds support for a popular low-cost 2.4GHz N based AP
Specifications:
- SoC: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9533 (650MHz)
- RAM: 64MB
- Storage: 8 MB SPI NOR
- Wireless: 2.4GHz N based built into SoC 2x2
- Ethernet: 1x 100/10 Mbps, integrated into SoC, 24V POE IN
Installation:
Flash factory image through stock firmware WEB UI
or through TFTP
To get to TFTP recovery just hold reset button while powering on for
around 4-5 seconds and release.
Rename factory image to recovery.bin
Stock TFTP server IP:192.168.0.100
Stock device TFTP adress:192.168.0.254
Notes:
TP-Link does not use bootstrap registers so without this patch reference
clock detects as 40MHz while it is actually 25MHz.
This is due to messed up bootstrap resistor configuration on the PCB.
Provided GPL code just forces 25MHz reference clock.
That causes booting with completely wrong clocks, for example, CPU tries
to boot at 1040MHz while the stock is 650MHz.
So this PR depends on PR #672 to remove 40MHz reference clock.

The default image does not fit 2 MB anymore, expand os-image partition
to 4 MB.
Upgrading works transparently via sysupgrade in both directions.
Another option would have been to merge "os-image" and "rootfs" into a
single "firmware" partition using MTD_SPLIT_TPLINK_FW, but just
changing the sizes of the existing partitioning has been deemed safer
and actually tested on an affected device; the maximum for rootfs
changes from 27 MB to 25 MB.
Run-tested on TP-Link Archer C2600.

Those converted factory images can be used to regain the original
tp-link firmware.
Be aware of firmware upgrade which additional require changes of
other partition than os-image (kernel) & file-system (rootfs).
OEM factory images from tplink can change nearly all partitions.
However using those images, OpenWrt's sysupgrade will only
modify the partitions os-image and file-system.

According to console log during TP-Link TL-WR840N v5 OEM firmware update
procedure 0x3e0000-0x3f0000 64kB "config" partition, which is used to store
router's configuration settings, is erased and recreated again during every
OEM firmware update procedure, thus does not contain any valuable factory data.
So it is conviniant to use this extra 64kB erase block for jffs overlay due
limited flash size on this device like it used on TP-Link's ar71xx boards.

mktplinkfw/mktplinkfw2 utilities put JFFS2 EOF market only at 64KB
boundary, this could lead to current device configuration lost during
the sysupgrade on a device, which is equpped with flash with the 4KB
erase block size (e.g. TP-Link Archer C20).
This happens when 64KB and 4KB alignments do not match, so the JFFS2
data is written not exactly at the partition beginnig and startup
scripts can not find the JFFS2 during the first boot just after the
sysupgrade.
Fix this by placing additional JFFS2 EOF marker at a 4KB boundary. Also
keep the marker at 64KB intact, so the utilities will produce images
suitable for devices with both 4KB and 64KB erase blocks.
