X-Git-Tag: v17.01.0-rc1~3010
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3339f41d2692e2e03ece172bedbaea767270500c;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fchunkeey.git

brcm2708: implement sysupgrade image check

Implement a crude but functioning sysupgrade image check for the
Raspberry Pi. The code only checks if the master boot record boot
signature (0x55aa) is present in the first 512-bytes at the correct
location. This can prevent the odd bricking of a system when flashing
the wrong file.
