I think simply bumping the hardcoded kernel/rootfs split partition sizes is a hack at best, my solution involves using mtdsplit to make the kernel/rootfs split dynamic, like on other platforms. >From what I can tell, the old sysupgrade script is written in a way that the image format changes will not break sysupgrade from old firmware to new and vice versa.
