Hi,

> Now that firmware partitions starting with an ELF kernel loader can be
> split automatically, move the TP-Link ar9344-based CPE and WBS devices
> from an OKLI loader to a plain kernel loader.
> 
> This reduces the size of the device images a bit (2kB for initramfs and
> sysupgrade). More importantly it takes away the requirement to
> periodically resize the kernel partition to allow for larger kernels.
> 
> Note that the firmware size in tplink-safeloader.c is one erase block
> smaller than the one in the DTSI, due to some runtime space reclamation
> happening on these devices.
> 
> Also rebases tplink-eap2x5 on the new tplink-safeloader-elf base device.

does not apply anymore, so you should rebase and resend.

Cheers,
