ramips: disable badblock shifting for MT7621 NAND
The MediaTek MT7621 NAND driver currently intransparently shifts NAND
pages when a block is marked as bad. Because of this, offsets for e.g.
caldata and MAC-addresses seem to be off.
This is, howeer, not a task for the mtd NAND driver, as the flash
translation layer is tasked with this.
This patch disables this badblock shifting. This fix was originally
proposed by Jo-Philipp Wich at
https://bugs.openwrt.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=1926

build: remove harmful -nopad option from mksquashfs
While the -nopad option prevents mksquashfs from padding the
image to an arbitrary 4k. It does not take into consideration
that squashfs is programmed to have this 4k padding when it's
being used on on a block device... which is its main "use-case".
Now, after a week long discussion on the ML that included a
back-and-forth between some of the possible options.
But this is likely the best KISS patch to deal with the issue
right away given the limited resources.
From squashfs code point of view, be warned. The 4k padding is
not enough when dealing with devices that have a PAGE_SIZE
bigger than 4k.
if it turns out to be affecting you, then please look-up either:
"FS#2460 - kernel panic reading squashfs from ubi volume" bug
Or the discussion on the OpenWrt-Devel ML in
"amp821xx: use newly added pad-squashfs for Meraki MR24" and
"Squashfs breakage lottery with UBI..."
before making an educated guess.
Note: This will not affect the "tiny"/small flash devices as
much as it seems at first. This is because the the rootfs_data
partition that follows uses jffs2. And it requires to be aligned
to the flash block-size in order to work at all.
So either the involved FSes will meet in the middle as before,
or not at all. But in that latter case the image was already
hoping for the "undefined behaviour" gamble to turn out in its
favour and this is probably why this was unnoticed for so long.

base-files: use JSON for storing firmware validation info
So far firmware validation result was binary limited: it was either
successful or not. That meant various limitations, e.g.:
1) Lack of proper feedback on validation problems
2) No way of marking firmware as totally broken (impossible to install)
This change introduces JSON for storing detailed validation info. It
provides a list of performed validation tests and their results. It
allows marking firmware as non-forceable (broken image that can't be
even forced to install).
Example:
{
"tests": {
"fwtool_signature": true,
"fwtool_device_match": true
},
"valid": true,
"forceable": true
}
Implementation is based on *internal* check_image bash script that:
1) Uses existing validation functions
2) Provides helpers for setting extra validation info
This allows e.g. platform_check_image() to call notify_check_broken()
when needed & prevent user from bricking a device.
Right now the new JSON info is used by /sbin/sysupgrade only. It still
doesn't make use of "forceable" as that is planned for later
development.
Further plans for this feature are:
1) Expose firmware validation using some new ubus method
2) Move validation step from /sbin/sysupgrade into "sysupgrade" ubus
method so:
a) It's possible to safely sysupgrade using ubus only
b) /sbin/sysupgrade can be more like just a CLI

ath9k: backport dynack improvements
Close cooperation with Lorenzo Bianconi resulted
in these patches which fix all remaining seen issues
when using dynack.
Fix link losses when:
- Late Ack's are not seen or not present
- switching from too low static coverage class to dynack on a live link
These are fixed by setting the Ack Timeout/Slottime to
the max possible value for the currently used channel width when
a new station has been discovered.
When traffic flows, dynack is able to adjust to optimal values
within a few packets received (typically < 1 second)
These changes have been thoroughly tested on ~60 offshore devices
all interconnected using mesh over IBSS and dynack enabled on all.
Distances between devices varied from <100m up to ~35km

Idea was to use f2fs only but the u-boot currently lacks support
so first 2 partition are ext4 to be u-boot readable, and this was
a reason why custom build and sysupgrade sections were required.
On the sysupgrade, boot and rootfs partitions are updated, firmare
image and user configuration is saved on the misc partition and if
the upgrade was successfull, recovery partition will be updated on
after the reboot from preinit script. If the sysupgrade fails for any
reason, device will fallback to recovery initramfs image.
