The squashfs+jffs2 root filesystem only came up as read-only
and the config would not take:
[ 25.600237] mount_root: Could not open mtd device: /dev/mtd4
[ 25.634674] mount_root: reading rootfs_data failed
[ 25.665346] mount_root: Could not open mtd device: /dev/mtd3
[ 25.699802] mount_root: reading rootfs failed
[ 25.726426] mount_root: mounting /dev/root
Well that is not very strange since the whole firmware partition
is made read-only in the device tree. Let's fix that by augmenting
the OpenWrt patch.

We currently generate a kernel that boots from the harddrive
in the DIR-685. That's not how we usually do things, so
let's augment it to boot from flash and mount the rootfs
using squashfs and JFFS2 like everyone else.
Partition splitting only work when the partitions are
inside of a "partitions" node which is why we have a patch
like this (submitted upstream).
Another patch drops the rootfs arguments and renames the
firmware partition while adding the compatible "wrg"
to it so the WRGG parser will kick in.
Factory image was tested by bravely reflashing the DIR-685
from stock firmware using the web UI and the serial console
boot loader.
