This adds an option to set the recovery flag of newer TP-Link MediaTek
boards and remove it after a successful write.
To make use of this feature, add the '-t' option to mtd-write.
The '-t' option takes the mtd partition containing the recovery flag
(usually 'romfile') as an argument. Make sure this partition is not
flagged as read-only!
Example:
> mtd -t romfile write owrt.bin firmware
This command writes the recovery-flag before it begins writing the image
to the firmware partition. After the image-write has been successful,
the recovery flag is removed.
This way, the TP-Link web-recovery is automatically enabled on an
unsucessful flash (e.g. power loss).
This option is only available if the mtd package is compiled for the
ramips target.

First of all lengths should be compared after checking all blocks for
being good/bad. It's because requested length may differ from a final
one if there were some bad blocks.
Secondly it makes sense to also compare crc32 since we already have a
new one calculated.

Reading MTD data with (p)read doesn't return any error when accessing
bad block. As the result, with current code, CRC32 covers "data" stored
in bad blocks.
That behavior doesn't match CFE's one (bootloader simply skips bad
blocks) and may result in:
1) Invalid CRC32
2) CFE refusing to boot firmware with a following error:
Boot program checksum is invalid
Fix that problem by checking every block before reading its content.

The mtd tool is built with different configurations depending on the
target. For example, brcm47xx adds the fixtrx subcommand, without which
an image fails when booting the second time.
Mark the mtd package as nonshared to really fix FS#484.

The u-boot boot counter was never reset after a successful boot,
which sometimes could make some variables become out of sync.
This patch adds support for the boot counter and enables
auto_recovery unconditionally.

Note, that licensing stuff is a nightmare: many packages does not clearly
state their licenses, and often multiple source files are simply copied
together - each with different licensing information in the file headers.
I tried hard to ensure, that the license information extracted into the OpenWRT's
makefiles fit the "spirit" of the packages, e.g. such small packages which
come without a dedicated source archive "inherites" the OpenWRT's own license
in my opinion.
However, I can not garantee that I always picked the correct information
and/or did not miss license information.

With the BRCM47xx image I have built (Linksys E3000), there are additional
writes following the completion of "mtd_replace_jffs2" which invalidate the
'trx_fixup' performed by 'mtd_replace_jffs2'. Moving the 'trx_fixup' to somewhere
after all writes have completed fixes the problem. I also noticed that 'erasesize'
used to compute 'block_offset' in 'mtd_fixtrx' is used before it is computed by
'mtd_check_open'; moving the call to 'mtd_check_open' up a few lines fixes this.
Unlike 'mtd_fixtrx', 'trx_fixup' appears to assume that the TRX header is always at
offset 0; which may be the cause of the problem described in Ticket #8960.

To make the ioctl number "stable", use an arbitrary high number to prevent
conflicts with new mtd ioctls that would push MTDREFRESH's number.
Also make mtd use the in-kernel mtd headers.
