ath79: add low_mem to tiny image
Devices with SMALL_FLASH enabled have "SQUASHFS_BLOCK_SIZE=1024" in their config. This significantly increases the cache memory required by squashfs [0]. This commit enables low_mem leading to a much better performance because the SQUASHFS_BLOCK_SIZE is reduced to 256. Example Nanostation M5 (XM): The image size increases by 128 KiB. However, the memory statisitcs look much better: Default tiny build: ------ MemTotal: 26020 kB MemFree: 5648 kB MemAvailable: 6112 kB Buffers: 0 kB Cached: 3044 kB low_mem enabled: ----- MemTotal: 26976 kB MemFree: 6748 kB MemAvailable: 11504 kB Buffers: 0 kB Cached: 7204 kB [0] - https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/commit/7e8af99cf504ca1dc389f282a0c94f4a911571be Signed-off-by: Nick Hainke <vincent@systemli.org>
