With current uboot default configuration the bootloader will
fail to start the OpenWrt firmware with the following error:
-----
unexpected character 'b' at the end of partition
Error initializing mtdparts!
incorrect device type in ubi
Partition ubi not found!
Error, no UBI device/partition selected!
Wrong Image Format for bootm command
Error occured, error code = 112
-----
If the uboot configuration is examined with printenv
I can see that mdtparts line (on a nsa310) is wrong:
-----
mtdparts=mtdparts=orion_nand:0x0c0000(uboot),
0x80000(uboot_env),0x7ec0000(ubi)bootargs_root=
----
The "bootargs_root=" that was appended to it should not be there.
Fix the issue by adding a \0 line terminator at the end of affected lines,
mimicking what is also done by uboot upstream.
This issue was detected and confirmed on a nsa310, nsa325 and
a pogoplug v4, but it's not hardware-specific, so apply the same fix
to other devices as well.
Note that the issue is with the uboot's integrated boot configuration,
which is not used unless the uboot configuration in flash is unavailable
(erased or corrupted), which happens only on first time installation,
or if the user deletes the uboot configuration when upgrading uboot.
People just upgrading from an older uboot without erasing their previous
uboot configuration stored in flash would not have noticed this issue.

U-Boot now requires GCC > 5
Catch up with upstream and move some configuration options from
the header files to the corresponding defconfig files.
Also move some options of patch 010 affecting the whole platform
to 010's device only.

Upgrade uboot-kirkwood to upstream release 2017.09
Catch up with upstream and move configuration options from
simple defines to Kconfig, as otherwise dependencies would
not be resolved and code would not compile.

With upstream changes, the last update to U-Boot 2017.03
broke the nsa310 and nsa325 targets. Also fix some redefines.

fixes issue "nsa 310b u-boot can initialize usb but cannot
use usb storage so it cannot load files from usb"

this commit allows to make a standalone u-boot for nsa310b.
While both first-stage and second-stage u-boot work fine if
installed to flash or loaded with kwboot,
I could not get stock u-boot nor bodhi's u-boot to chainload
any second stage u-boot (I also tried with dockstar's uboot
that works fine on this device if loaded with kwboot).
