kernel 6.9 removed the KConfig entry our RouterBOOT watchdog pet hack was relying on:
Linux df59427a1122 ("ARM: qcom: merge remaining subplatforms into sensible Kconfig entry")
Introduce a new specific KConfig entry for this hack,
and enable it for Mikrotik ipq40xx kernel.
CONFIG_ARCH_QCOM_IPQ40XX_BOOT_COMPRESSED_PET_WATCHDOG_EARLY
With appropriate DEBUG_LL and DEBUG_UNCOMPRESS, this watchdog reset
can be typically seen on console as a reset before "Uncompressing Linux..."
reaches " done, booting the kernel."

On Mikrotik RouterBOOT devices, this is complicated by some RouterBOOT
versions successfully loading the same kernel that other RouterBOOT versions fail. Example:
RouterBOOT backup booter 6.45.9 fine, RouterBOOT booter 7.16 fail

This is a preparation for introducing the 6.12 kernel support.
All configs are automatically refreshed. In theory, they will
generate the same .config files in the kernel build directory
as before.

Currently, information from MikroTik hard_config is only available via
sysfs, meaning that we have to rely on userspace to for example setup MACs.
So, lets provide a basic NVMEM layout based driver to expose the same cells
as sysfs driver exposes.
Do note that the we dont extract the WLAN caldata and BDF-s at this point.

Avoid shipping ath10k board file in Mikrotik initram images
Most will only ever need to use these initram images once—to initially
load OpenWrt, but fix these images for more consistent Wi-Fi performance
between the initram and installed squashfs images.
OpenWrt BUILDBOT config ignores -cut packages in the initram images build.
This results in BUILDBOT initram images including the linux-firmware
qca4019 board-2.bin, and (initram image booted) Mikrotik devices loading
a generic BDF, rather than the intended BDF data loaded
from NOR as an api 1 board_file.
buildbot snapshot booted as initram image:
cat /etc/openwrt_version

Since MikroTik subtarget now uses dynamic BDF loading its crucial that it
doesnt include the board-2.bin at all which is provided by the
ath10k-board-qca4019 package.
So to resolve this dont include the ath10k-board-qca4019 package on the
MikroTik subtarget.

This enables the new MikroTik specific partition parser.
This avoids manually specifying the MikroTik specific partitions as they
can be detected by their magic values.

MikroTik devices require the use of raw vmlinux out of the self
extracting compressed kernels.
They also require 4K sectors, kernel2minor, partition parser as well as
RouterBoard platform drivers.
So in order to not add unnecessary code to the generic sub target lets
introduce a MikroTik sub target.
