This implements the newly introduced compat-version to prevent
upgrade between swconfig and DSA for mvebu.
Just define a compat version with minor increment and an appropriate
message for both image (in Makefile) and device (in base-files).
Having taken care of sysupgrade, we can put back the SUPPORTED_DEVICES
that have been removed in previous patches to prevent broken config.
Attention:
All users that already updated to the DSA versions in master will
receive the same incompatibility warning since their devices are still
"1.0" as far as fwtool can tell.
Those, and only those, can bypass the upgrade check by using force (-F)
without having to reset config again. In addition, the new version
string needs to be put into uci config manually, so the new fwtool
knows that it actually deals with a "1.1":
uci set "system.@system[-1].compat_version=1.1"

So far, the compatibility mechanism only works if both device and
image are already updated to the new routines. This patch extends
the sysupgrade metadata and fwtool_check_image() to account for
"older" images as well:
The basic mechanism for older devices to check for image compatibility
is the supported_devices entry. This can be exploited by putting
a custom message into this variable of the metadata, so older FW
will produce a mismatch and print the message as it thinks it's the
list of supported devices. So, we have two cases:
device 1.0, image 1.0:
The metadata will just contain supported_devices as before.
device 1.0, image 1.1:
The metadata will contain:
"new_supported_devices":["device_string1", "device_string2", ...],
"supported_devices":["Image version 1.1 incompatible to device: ..."]
If the device is "legacy", i.e. does not have the updated fwtool.sh,
it will just fail with image check and print the content of
supported_devices. If DEVICE_COMPAT_MESSAGE is set, this will be
printed on old devices as well through the same mechanism. Otherwise
a generic "Please check documentation ..." is appended.
Upgrade can still be performed with -F like when
SUPPORTED_DEVICES has been removed to prevent bricking.
If the device has updated fwtool.sh (but is 1.0), it will just use
the new_supported_devices instead, and work as intended (flashing
with -n will work, flashing without will print the appropriate
warning).
This mechanism should provide a fair tradeoff between simplicity
and functionality.
Since we touched a lot of fields in metadata, this also bumps
metadata_version to 1.1.

We regularly encounter the situation that devices are subject to
changes that will make them incompatible to previous versions.
Removing SUPPORTED_DEVICES will not really be helpful in most of these
cases, as this only helps after a rename.
To solve this situation, this patchset introduces a compatibility
version for devices. In this patch, the actual checks are implemented
into fwtool_check_image():
If an incompatible change is introduced, one can increase either
the minor version (1.0->1.1) or the major version (1.0->2.0).
Minor version increment:
This will still allow sysupgrade, but require to reset config
(-n or SAVE_CONFIG=0). If sysupgrade is called without -n, a
corresponding message will be printed. If sysupgrade is called
with -n, it will just pass, with supported devices being checked
as usual. (Which will allow us to add back SUPPORTED_DEVICES for
many cases.)
Major version increment:
This is meant for potential (rare) cases where sysupgrade is
not possible at all, because it would break the device.
In this case, a warning will be printed, and -n won't help.
If image check fails because of one of the versions parts not
matching, the content of DEVICE_COMPAT_MESSAGE is printed in
addition to the generic message (if set).
For both cases, upgrade can still be forced with -F as usual.

Removing SUPPORTED_DEVICES will not really be helpful in most of these
cases, as this only helps after a rename.
To solve this situation, this patchset introduces a compatibility
version for devices. To complement the DEVICE_COMPAT_VERSION set
for the image to be flashed, this implements a compat_version on
the device, so it will have something to compare with the image.
The only viable way to achieve this seems to be via board.d files,
i.e. this is technically adding a compat version for the device's
config.
Like for the network setup, this will set up a command
ucidef_set_compat_version to set the compat_version in board.d.
This will then add a string to /etc/board.json, which will be
translated into uci system config by bin/config_generate.
By this, the compat_version, being a version of the config, will
also be exposed to the user.
As with DEVICE_COMPAT_VERSION, missing uci entry will be assumed
as compat_version "1.0", so we only need to add this if a device
needs to be bumped, e.g.
ucidef_set_compat_version "1.1"

Removing SUPPORTED_DEVICES will not really be helpful in most of these

To solve this situation, this patchset introduces a compatibility
version for devices. It will be implemented via a per-device
Make variable DEVICE_COMPAT_VERSION, which will be set to 1.0
globally by default and then can be overwritten as needed.
Furthermore, a variable DEVICE_COMPAT_MESSAGE is added, where
a message to be displayed during sysupgrade may be specified
optionally.
This patch only implements the build variables and adds them
to the sysupgrade metadata, the evaluation will be addressed
in a subsequent patch.
To set it, one would just need to add the following to a device node:
define Device/somedevice
...
DEVICE_COMPAT_VERSION := 1.1
DEVICE_COMPAT_MESSAGE := Config cannot be migrated from swconfig to DSA

Many MediaTek SoCs can be unbricked by using the SP Flash Tool from
http://spflashtool.com/ along with a "scatter list" file, which is
just a text file listing which image gets loaded where.
We use a trivial partition layout for the tool, with the whole eMMC
image as a single "partition", which means users just need to unzip
the sysupgrade image. Doing the real partition layout would be overly
complex and would require the individual partitions to be shipped
as artifacts — or users to extract them out of the sysupgrade image
just for the tool to put them adjacent to each other on the eMMC
anyway.
The tool does require a copy of the preloader in order to operate,
even when it isn't flashing the preloader to the eMMC boot region.
So drop that into the bin directory as an artifact too.

bpi-r2 images are shipped with mainline u-boot which can extract lzma
with no problem.
remove custom kernel recipe to build lzma fit image instead of
uncompressed fit with zboot.

An upcoming commit will add a full system image for U7623 which will
contain the MBR partition table and U-Boot too.
That contrasts with the current image which only owns the eMMC from
sector 0xa00 onwards, and must start with a legacy uImage.
Prepare for sysupgrade to the new images, and cope with the fact that
the recovery partition will be /dev/mmcblk0p2 instead of /dev/mmcblk0p1
after the upgrade.
This commit could potentially be backported to 19.07 to allow for direct
sysupgrade to the new image layout.

I'm about to change the layout of the images for UniElec U7623 so make it
find the recovery partition based on which the root partition is too.

The definition of the switch in the device-tree was not correct. Make it
look more like the Banana Pi R2, which works.

This board ships with an ancient 14.07-based OpenWrt using block2mtd, and
the MBR partition table contains nonsense.
It is possible to sysupgrade to an upstream OpenWrt image, but the
legacy layout of the OpenWrt images start at 0xA00 in the eMMC, with
a raw uImage. The legacy OpenWrt image doesn't "own" the beginning
of the device, including the MBR and U-Boot.
This means that when a user upgrades to upstream OpenWrt, it doesn't
boot because it can't find the right partitions. So hard-code them on
the kernel's command line using CONFIG_CMDLINE_PARTITION (for block).
Additionally, the vendor firmware doesn't cope with images larger than
about 36MiB, because it only overwrites the contents of its "firmware"
MTD partition. The current layout of the legacy image wastes a lot of
space, allowing over 32MiB for the kernel and another 10MiB for the FAT
recovery file system which is only created as 3MiB. So pull those in
to allow 4¾ MiB for the kernel, 3MiB for recovery, and then we have over
20MiB for the root file system.
This doesn't affect the new images which ship with a full eMMC image
including a different MBR layout and a partition for U-Boot, because
our modern U-Boot can actually pass the command line to the kernel, and
the built-in one doesn't get used anyway.
Tested by upgrading from vendor OpenWrt to the current legacy image,
from legacy to itself, to the previous legacy layout, and then to
finally the full-system image.
This commit probably wants backporting to 19.07, which also doesn't
install over the vendor OpenWrt and doesn't even have a full-system
installation option.
