a893c0dc4c devices/zyxel-nwa50ax: use our own more advanced DTB
OpenWRT had a DTB for the NWA50AX LEDs that I didn't pick up.

Anyway, we need to include our own special DTB for the NWA platform in general
to support A/B operations, because OpenWRT original one just mark everything else read-only.

This adds a simple boot blessing module, to be used, with the Zyxel NWA50AX.

There's a lot of elephant in the rooms: how do you upgrade kernel, etc.

This is a quite comprehensive example using maximally the hardware

In the future, I will even add RADIUS examples.

63007859c2 modules/outputs/zyxel-nwa-fit: init
Zyxel "firmware" format is just… a FIT with some metadata on the models.

This FIT is like this:

--------------------------
    uImage FIT header
--------------------------
    Linux kernel
--------------------------
    FDT DTB
--------------------------
    Padding so that
    this makes
    8192kb [1]
--------------------------
    UBI volume
    as a root filesystem
--------------------------

We just reproduce this in a very brutal and naive way.
In the future, this seems worth to generalize and modularize this idea
so that zyxel-nwa-fit is just an instance of a more general output.

c59364d623 modules/outputs/ubifs: expose rootubifs rather than rootfs
I believe there should be another module exposing `rootubifs` as `rootfs`
or let any other module just subsume that component like `zyxel-nwa-fit` output.

0a8343be66 pkgs/kernel/uimage: introduce commandLineDtbNode
Certain devices like the Zyxel NWA50AX will pass information on the command-line
to explain what is the current image (`bootImage=1` vs. `bootImage=0`).

Unfortunately, if we set the `chosen/bootargs` node, this will be overridden forcibly
by U-Boot.

To avoid this problem, it's easier to simply just use another DTB node like `bootargs-override` which
is what OpenWRT does [1].

c373152673 make tftpboot work on devices with old u-boot
Some devices have a U-boot variant that does not accept a third
parameter on the "bootm" command, meaning we can't override the dtb
in the bootloader so have to smush it back into the kernel image

This doesn't work in QEMU but I think the problem is with the
U-Boot configuration for QEMU. It does work on at least one
hardware device so I'm pushing it anyway

Based on
