sysupgrade metadata is not flashed to the device, so check-size
should be called _before_ adding metadata to the image.
While at it, do some obvious wrapping improvements.

Specifications:
SoC: QCA9533
DRAM: 32Mb DDR1
Flash: 8/16Mb SPI-NOR
LAN: 4x 10/100Mbps via AR8229 switch (integrated into SoC)
on GMII
WAN: 1x 10/100Mbps via MII
WLAN: QCA9530
USB: 1x 2.0
UART: standard QCA UART header
JTAG: yes
Button: 1x WPS, 1x reset
LEDs: 8x LEDs
A version with 4Mb flash is also available, but due to lack of
enough space it's not supported.
As the original flash layout does not provide enough space for
the kernel (1472k), the firmware uses OKLI and concat flash to
overcome the limitation without changing the boot address of the
bootloaders.
Installation:
1. Original bootloader
Connect the board to ethernet
Set up a server with an IP address of 192.168.1.10
Make the openwrt-ath79-generic-qca_ap143-8m-squashfs-factory.bin
available via TFTP
tftpboot 0x80060000 openwrt-ath79-generic-qca_ap143-8m-squashfs-factory.bin
erase 0x9f050000 +$filesize
cp.b $fileaddr 0x9f050000 $filesize
Reboot the board.
2. pepe2k's u-boot_mod
Connect the board to ethernet
Set up a server with an IP address of 192.168.1.10
Make the openwrt-ath79-generic-qca_ap143-8m-squashfs-factory.bin
available via TFTP, as "firmware.bin"
run fw_upg
Reboot the board.
For the 16M version of the board, please use
openwrt-ath79-generic-qca_ap143-16m-squashfs-factory.bin

This fixes a small regression where the lzma-loader variable values
are being shared between boards that require different configurations.
If not set to "" globally, a device without these settings will just take
the last values another device has set before in the queue.

...and max flash offset
The mtdsplit parser was recently refactored
to allow the kernel to have custom image header magic.
Let's also do this for the lzma-loader
For example:
When implemented together,
this allows the kernel to "appear" to be a rootfs
by OEM software in order to write an image
that is actually kernel + rootfs.
At the same time,
it would boot to openwrt normally
by setting the same magic in DTS.
Both of the variables
have a default value that is unchanged
when not defined in the makefiles
This has no effect on the size of the loader
when lzma compressed.

The factory images need to embed specific IDs to pass verification with
the OEM firmware (including TFTP recovery), so they need to be
per-device variables.

[minor commit message adjustments, sort DEVICE_VARS]
Signed-off-by: Adrian Schmutzler <freifunk@adrianschmutzler.de>
The majority of our targets provide a default value for the variable
SUPPORTED_DEVICES, which is used in images to check against the
compatible on a running device:
SUPPORTED_DEVICES := $(subst _,$(comma),$(1))
At the moment, this is implemented in the Device/Default block of
the individual targets or even subtargets. However, since we
standardized device names and compatible in the recent past, almost
all targets are following the same scheme now:
device/image name: vendor_model
compatible: vendor,model
The equal redundant definitions are a symptom of this process.
Consequently, this patch moves the definition to image.mk making it
a global default. For the few targets not using the scheme above,
SUPPORTED_DEVICES will be defined to a different value in
Device/Default anyway, overwriting the default. In other words:
This change is supposed to be cosmetic.
This can be used as a global measure to get the current compatible
with: $(firstword $(SUPPORTED_DEVICES))
(Though this is not precisely an achievement of this commit.)
