This patch updates "soft_ver" for TP-Link Archer C6 v2 (EU).
It makes possible to upload OpenWrt on lastest vendor's firmware
as the web-based updater checks for major.minor version during upload.
Due to that on next major/minor version update TP-Link will stop
us from using the web-based firmware update tool, so it will
require a new patch on soft_ver to match major and minor version.
Up to today's latest stock firmware the patch (major.minor.patch)
version does not matters, that allows downgrade from 1.1.4 to 1.1.1
but do not allow downgrade from 1.1.X to 1.0.X.

This fixes commit bae927c551fd ("ar71xx: add support for TP-LINK CPE510
V2.0") where the support for this device wasn't optimal.
Device support for the CPE510v2 so far has been a hack to enable
flashing with CPE510v1 images. Those even have different hardware (e.g.
additional ethernet port).
With this patch, we provide proper support for this device in ar71xx.

Add support to dynamically split the firmware partition into os-image
and file-system partitions. This is done by replacing those entries in
the partition table with a single unified firmware partition, which is
then split according to actual kernel image size.
The factory image will have the file-system partition aligned to a 64K
erase block, but the sysupgrade image skips this and aligns only the
JFFS2 EOF marker to squeeze out more space.
This should prevent further creeping updates to the kernel partition
size while maximizing space for the overlay filesystem on smaller
devices.

Notes:
TP-Link does not use bootstrap registers so without this patch reference
clock detects as 40MHz while it is actually 25MHz.
This is due to messed up bootstrap resistor configuration on the PCB.
Provided GPL code just forces 25MHz reference clock.
That causes booting with completely wrong clocks, for example, CPU tries
to boot at 1040MHz while the stock is 650MHz.
So this PR depends on PR #672 to remove 40MHz reference clock.

The default image does not fit 2 MB anymore, expand os-image partition
to 4 MB.
Upgrading works transparently via sysupgrade in both directions.
Another option would have been to merge "os-image" and "rootfs" into a
single "firmware" partition using MTD_SPLIT_TPLINK_FW, but just
changing the sizes of the existing partitioning has been deemed safer
and actually tested on an affected device; the maximum for rootfs
changes from 27 MB to 25 MB.

Be aware of firmware upgrade which additional require changes of
