    ath79: rework Netgear nand devices image recipe
    
    In Netgear u-boot GPL code, nand devices uses this formula to locate the
    rootfs offset.
    
    offset = (((128 + KERNEL_SIZE) / BLOCK_SIZE) + 1) * BLOCK_SIZE;
    
    Howerver, WNDR4500 source code incorrectly define the nand block size to
    64k. In some cases, it causes u-boot can't get the correct rootfs offset,
    which result in boot failure. This patch workaround it by padding kernel
    size to (128k * n - 128 - 1). The additional char '\0' is used to ensure
    the (128 + KERNEL_SIZE) can't be divided by the BLOCK_SIZE.
