Cover letter [PATCH 0/8] Convert Netgear WNR854T to devicetree

* Use Flash partition scheme from original netgear Linux image (but keeping the uboot/uboot_env split) instead of the partition scheme from the old non-DT support, which didn't match either Netgear's layout, u-boot or openWRT. NB: I've no copy of the original flash contents (Netgear's firmware images only contain a squashfs image of the rootfs), so I can't confirm the other partitions are accurately named.
Both the factory layout and OpenWrt's changed a few times - the later just to accommodate bigger kernels. Some factory firmwares did include a kernel update, too.
I would suggest staying with the OpenWrt layour (maybe increase again the size of the kernel partition):
- the bootloader loads the kernel from JFFS2
- most of the partitions in the factory firmware are empty
- the factory layout gives you almost no space to play with
But this is up to you now :)
Best,
Imre
