    apm821xx: increase WNDR4700's dtb+kernel partition to 3.5 MiB
    
    This patch cleans and reworks the WNDR4700 dts to increase the
    now combined dtb+kernel partition to 3.5 MiB. This has become
    necessary due to the switch to GCC 7.3 and the ever increasing
    kernel binary size.
    
    The dtb+kernel partition was combined in order to finally
    fix the problem with out-of-sync device-trees. From now
    on, the kernel and device-tree will always be updated together.
    
    Upgrade Note:
    Existing installations will have to use the TFTP firmware
    recovery option in order to install the update. Affected users
    are advised to make a backup of their existing configuration
    prior to running sysupgrade:
    <https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/installation/generic.backup#backup_openwrt_configuration>
    Due to the repartitioning of the NAND, the generated backup
    should be placed on either the internal HDD, an attached
    USB-Stick or on another PC (externally).
    
    To manually trigger the firmware recovery, the reset button has
    to be pressed (and hold) during boot. U-boot will enter the "Upgrade
    Mode" and starts a tftpserver listening on 192.168.1.1 for a
    tftp client from one of the four LAN/Ethernet ports to connect and
    upload the new system: (enable tftp binary mode!).
