Consistently handle boot-count reset and upgrade across
ipq40xx, ipq806x, kirkwood, mvebu
Dual-firmware devices often utilize a specific MTD partition
to record the number of times the boot loader has initiated boot.
Most of these devices are NAND, typically with a 2k erase size.
When this code was ported to the ipq40xx platform, the device in hand
used NOR for this partition, with a 16-byte "record" size. As the
implementation of `mtd resetbc` is by-platform, the hard-coded nature
of this change prevented proper operation of a NAND-based device.
* Unified the "NOR" variant with the rest of the Linksys variants
* Added logging to indicate success and failure
* Provided a meaningful return value for scripting
* "Protected" the use of `mtd resetbc` in start-up scripts so that
failure does not end the boot sequence
* Moved Linksys-specific actions into common `/etc/init.d/bootcount`
For upgrade, these devices need to determine which partition to flash,
as well as set certain U-Boot envirnment variables to change the next
boot to the newly flashed version.
* Moved upgrade-related environment changes out of bootcount
* Combined multiple flashes of environment into single one
* Current-partition detection now handles absence of `boot_part`

[checkpatch.pl fixes, traded split strings for 80+ chars per line]
This adds an option to set the recovery flag of newer TP-Link MediaTek
boards and remove it after a successful write.
To make use of this feature, add the '-t' option to mtd-write.
The '-t' option takes the mtd partition containing the recovery flag
(usually 'romfile') as an argument. Make sure this partition is not
flagged as read-only!
Example:
> mtd -t romfile write owrt.bin firmware
This command writes the recovery-flag before it begins writing the image
to the firmware partition. After the image-write has been successful,
the recovery flag is removed.
This way, the TP-Link web-recovery is automatically enabled on an
unsucessful flash (e.g. power loss).
This option is only available if the mtd package is compiled for the
ramips target.

This commit adds the object 'linksys_bootcount_fix.o' to the ipq40xx
target.
This is needed for the Linksys EA6350v3 device. Without this patch, the
device will switch-back between the current and the last flashed firmware
every 3 (three) reboots. With this patch, the device works as expected.

This is done with existing code from the WRT1900AC port.
It makes sure the "auto_recovery" bootloader option is set,
and resets the s_env boot counter after a successful boot.
This gives users without a serial console connection some
measure of safety.

The u-boot boot counter was never reset after a successful boot,
which sometimes could make some variables become out of sync.
This patch adds support for the boot counter and enables
auto_recovery unconditionally.

Without running fixtrx the image will not boot at the second time,
because the CRC the boot loader check is invalid at that time.
