faf94d926e2810f895f2a98d4a49ee2fe8f673e8 added "support" for a hacked
device where the original boot loader (routerboot) has been replaced
by u-boot.
Support for this device with stock bootloader is possible (as evidenced
by support for the RBM33G), and conflicts with this code.
Remove code before release.

FYI, I already NAK'ed the very same patch on github.
I do agree that it can be done better by not requiring the replacement
of the bootloader. Nevertheless, support for this board is already
shipped since LEDE-17.01 and I don't agree to drop support for a board
without providing an alternative/fixed/better image.
Just to clarify: this is not “support”. This is a user created custom hack that
applies only to their modified board.

Hi,
I agree that proper support for none modified boards is far better and I
am always for having such support in tree. what i am failing to
understand here is why it is so important to remove this support or
none-support patch from the tree ? in general our stance was that if
there is at least one user we'll try to carry the functionality as long
as we can. So why not remove this when a better replacement is in place ?
John
