The bootloader happily accepts this.
But devices need a fresh reinstall because of resulting ubi partition
changes. Therefore a sysupgrade will brick your device.

Please install a fresh factory image via bootloader.
Alternatively, you can flash sysupgrade-6M-Kernel.bin with
 zcat sysupgrade-6M-Kernel.bin | mtd -r -e /dev/mtd 3 write - /dev/mtd3

This may thow an error, because it is a 256M image. There are
devices out there with this flash size.

Notice that you will always loose configuration.

This also fixes a bug in the image generation enables the device by
default again.
