The current support for MikroTik NAND-based devices relies on a
gross hack that packs the kernel into a static YAFFS stub, as the
stock bootloader only supports booting a YAFFS-encapsulated kernel.
The problem with this approach is that since the kernel partition is
blindly overwritten without any kind of wear or badblock management
(due to lack of proper support for YAFFS in OpenWRT), the NAND flash
is not worn uniformly and eventually badblocks appear, leading to
unbootable devices.
This issue has been reported here [1] and discussed in more detail
here [2].

[2] https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/3026#issuecomment-673597461
Until a proper fix is found (or the stock bootloader supports other
filesystems), we disable building these images to prevent unknowing
users from risking their devices.
Thanks to Thibaut Varène for summarizing the details above.

- minimal built initramfs: 10MB vmlinux ELF -> 6MB vmlinuz
- ~5 seconds for kernel decompression, which was equivalent to the
additional time to load the uncompressed ELF from SPI NOR.
- Removes requirement for lzma-loader, which may have been causing some
image builds to fail to boot on Mikrotik mt7621.

Move the image preparation and nand-utils package selection into
common device definitions for NOR/NAND devices.

The new sysfs soft_config driver makes buggy rbcfg obsolete and
entirely replaces it.

With the implementation of a sysfs interface to access WLAN data, this
target no longer needs a special wrapper to extract caldata.

This commit adds support for the MikroTik RouterBOARD wAP G-5HacT2HnD
(wAP AC), a small weatherproof dual band, dual-radio 802.11ac
wireless AP with integrated omnidirectional anntennae and one
10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port.
See https://mikrotik.com/product/RBwAPG-5HacT2HnD for more info.
Specifications:
- SoC: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9556
- RAM: 64 MB
- Storage: 16 MB NOR
- Wireless:
· Atheros AR9550 (SoC) 802.11b/g/n 2x2:2, 2 dBi antennae
· Qualcomm QCA9880 802.11a/n/ac 3x3:3, 2 dBi antennae
- Ethernet: Atheros AG71xx (SoC, AR8033), 1x 1000/100/10 port,
passive PoE in
Working:
- Board/system detection
- Sysupgrade
- Serial console
- Ethernet
- 2.4 GHz radio
- 5 GHz radio and LED
- Reset button
Not working/Unsupported:
- 2.4 GHz LED
- AP/CAP LED
- ZT2046Q SPI temperature and voltage sensor
This adds the basic features for supporting MikroTik devices:
- a common recipe for mikrotik images in common-mikrotik.mk
- support for minor (MikroTik NOR) split firmware (only for
generic subtarget so far)
