This old ELF library dating to 2009 used to be necessary on MacOS but
is not required for building the kernel or tools since [1]. On Linux
systems, libelf is already an OpenWRT build-system prerequisite [2].
Presence of the older library can mask or conflict with the system libelf
and lead to build errors, as seen compiling Linux kernels since v5.8 or
host tools such as dwarves (e.g. pahole).
Remove the unnecessary tools/libelf library and avoid the related issues.

Commit f4da28c301 ("elfutils: Add host build") supplied a libelf host
library to fix a glib2 host build error, but this need was later removed
by b6212c8769 ("glib2: don't use libelf during host build").
More importantly, there are already two sources for libelf host libraries:
OpenWRT build prerequisites [1] and tools/libelf. A third is not needed.

Make some cosmetic changes in the Buffalo LinkStation LS421DE NAS:
- Delete pointless #xxx-cells
- bootargs: replace earlyprintk with earlycon and remove unneeded args.
- Separate pinmux nodes with empty lines.

dd on Mac OS X apparently fails when using 'M' unit for bs.
dd: bs: illegal numeric value
Use 'k' unit instead for 'pad-to' to fix that.

It's meant to provide upstream support for mtd & NVMEM. It's required
e.g. for reading MAC address from mtd partition content. It seems to be
in a final shape so it's worth testing.

NVRAM access may be needed early in boot process. Reading it using mtd
happens quite late in the init process. Add NVRAM initialization to the
NVMEM driver which comes up early and depends on IO mapping only.
This is required by Linksys devices which use NVRAM content for proper
partitioning (detecting current firmware partition).

Demote a number of debugging printk's to pr_debug to avoid log
nosie. Several of these functions are called as a result of
userspace activity. This can cause a lot of log noise when
userspace does periodic polling.
Most of this could probably be removed completely, but let's
keep it for now since these drivers are still in development.

MediaTek published their current U-Boot patchset on github:
https://github.com/mtk-openwrt/u-boot/commits/mtksoc
Import the platform patches from there (`00-mtk-*.patch`), arrange,
them nicely, drop no longer needed local patches and rebase on top of
U-Boot 2021.04-rc3.
Tested and works well on Linksys E8450 (snand-1ddr) as well as
Bananapi BPi-R64 (sdmmc-2ddr, emmc-2ddr).

Most prominently this adds changes which allow replacing the binary-
