<id>cf7154db07c0b8746be290c9e11dcab3c91d237e</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new config option to allow to select the default compile
optimization level for the kernel.

Select the optimization for size by default if the small_flash feature is
set. Otherwise "Optimize for performance" is set.

Add the small_flash feature flag to all (sub)targets which had the
optimization for size in their default kernel config.

Remove CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_* symbols from all kernel configs to apply the new
setting.

Exceptions to the above are:

  - lantiq, where the optimization for size is only required for the
    xway_legacy subtarget but was set for the whole target
  - mediatek, ramips/mt7620 &amp; ramips/mt76x8 where boards should have
    plenty of space and an optimization for size doesn't make much sense
  - rb532, which has 128MByte flash

THIN_ARCHIVES option is enabled by default in the kernel configuration
and no one target config disables it. So enable it by default and remove
this symbol from target specific configs to keep them light.

The previous fw version require the replacement of the stock bootloader
with u-boot. This prevent an easy stock restore of the original fw.

Now a proper fw util has been developed to manage the stock jboot
bootloader. Therefore make sense have a fw image for the stock
bootloader.

The old fw configuration (u-boot) is not compatible with the new one
and will not be supported anymore.

So at the end 2 image can be generated:

1) factory image with jboot bootloader
     openwrt-ramips-rt305x-dwr-512-b-squashfs-factory.bin
2) sysupgrade image with jboot bootloader
     openwrt-ramips-rt305x-dwr-512-b-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
