So far fixtrx was calculating checksum over amount of data matching
partition erase size. It was mostly a workaround of checksum problem
after changing anything in initial TRX content (e.g. formatting JFFS2).
Its main purpose was to make bootloader accept modified TRX. This didn't
provide much protection of flash data against corruption.
This new option lets caller request calculating checksum over a bigger
amount of data. It may be used e.g. to include whole kernel data for
checksum and hopefully make bootloader go info failsafe mode if
something goes wrong.

Recently TRX checking code was changed to detect Seama format and don't
abort whole writing operation because of it. This isn't a good long-term
solution. It's a poor idea to teach every format handler recognizing all
possible formats. Instead it should be handled in a generic code which
should run check depending on the detected format.
This will also allow further improvements like fixing formats other than
TRX after replacing JFFS2.

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.

NAND flash is very likely to contain bad blocks.
Currently, mtd and therefore sysupgrade fails when it encounters a single bad block, potentially leaving an unbootable system.
This patch allows the mtd utility to skip bad blocks in NAND flash and complete sysupgrade successfully.
