This offset only contains 0xffs, so a random MAC will be generated on

and this MAC is shown as the WAN MAC in the bootloader. However, it is
the same on all boards we have checked. Based on information provided

as samples for development purposes.

With '-a' specified on the command line, the current code:
- computes an aligned _kernel length_ instead of an aligned _rootfs
offset_.
- does not update the rootfs offset after computing the new kernel
length, and instead retains the layout default.
When the kernel length exceeds the available space left with this
fixed offset, the resulting image header contains invalid data, with
the recorded rootfs offset overlapping the kernel area.
This patch ensures that rootfs offset is correctly computed and
reflected in the final image.
Furthermore, the build_fw() function special cases the rootfs_align
option because of the above invalid logic. This is also fixed and
the computed (or command-line provided, or layout-provided) rootfs_ofs
value is used in all cases.
There seems to be no valid reason to extend the kernel length beyond
the actual length of the kernel itself (OFW images don't do it) so this
part of the existing behavior is dropped.

even if the configured MTU is lower (e.g. if it configured to standard
1500 bytes). Such behavior effectivly prevents interface start on boards
with a low ammount of RAM (e.g. WRT300N v2), since the kernel simly can
not allocates of ~0.8MB (14KB x 64).

ixp4xx: fix non-standard phy support
The patch, which adds multiphy support, adds new path for non-standard
PHYs (e.g. MV88E6060 switch IC) to avoid using kernel phy framework. All
work well except the link status traking (Duplex and Speed), which is
reseted as soon as PHY connection procedure is done. This leads to lost
of the link status of non-standard PHY, which is configured exactly in
the ixp4xx_phy_connect() function.
Move the generic reset of a link state to the ixp4xx_phy_connect()
function to the code path, which is intended for handling of a normal
PHY.

ar71xx: only use SPI NOR 4K sectors on smaller flash chips for mikrotik devices
On NOR based Mikrotik devices, 4K sectors significantly slow down
firmware flashing and jffs2 usage. On NAND based devices they may be
necessary to run rbcfg (the boot loader config is often on SPI NOR).

kernel: add support for limiting 4K erase sector support based on flash chip size
Some targets need 4K sectors for small flash chips (e.g. some
routerboards, where the entire chip is just one "erase block"), whereas
on other devices 4K sectors lead to horrible flash erase/write
performance.
Set the default limit in the generic kernel configuration to 4 MiB to
ensure that all new platforms don't use 4K sectors for bigger flash
chips. On all existing targets use 16 MiB for now to avoid regressions.
They will be changed individually in follow-up commits.
