Hi!
The NBG6716 has recently been disabled because of size problems with the kernel
partition.
I'm thinking about extending it to 8MB, shouldn't be a problem.
But I'm afraid users will brick their device when doing a sysupgrade to the new
flash layout.
First time / in upgrade case it must be installed via manufacturer webif or via
bootloader.
What do you propose in these cases?
Please help me solve this problem. Or should I just commit a change for the
device with a hint in the commit message?
Adrian has added a system to block sysupgrade and show a warning message
in the commit
"build: add DEVICE_COMPAT_VERSION and DEVICE_COMPAT_MESSAGE "

see it on Github

You can use that to give a warning to users when they try to sysupgrade.
