ipq806x: add ramdisk feature
This commits adds the "ramdisk" feature to ipq806x target. The main driving force behind this decision is to facilitate the installation of OpenWrt on some locked IPQ806x devices. Examples: - NEC Aterm WG2600HP The U-Boot on WG2600HP is protected with a password which prevents users from gaining access to the u-boot prompt in order to install the images from there. Therefore, on this device, installing OpenWrt by the user involves changing the bootcmd as follows so that WG2600HP downloads and executes initramfs image from TFTP server. ex.: bootcmd="ping ${serverip} && tftpboot 0x44000000 wg2600hp-initramfs.bin; bootipq" - Buffalo WXR-2533DHP The U-Boot on WXR-2533DHP has built-in firmware recovery mode. It's activated by holding the "AOSS" button during boot. This will trigger the device to download the firmware from an TFTP server and booting from it. By using this, the user can the install OpenWrt firmware without having access to the UART console.
