This allows booting bigger ramdisk images via TFTP at the cost of breaking 32M
RAM compatibility, but those devices have been unable to boot ramdisks on this
target for some time anyway due to not having enough RAM.

Stop using bmips b43-sprom fixups and switch to generic bcma/ssb fallback
SPROMs. This way we don't need to include the b43-sprom fixups on devices

BMIPS is a generic arch that can be used for multiple Broadcom SoCs, each one
with its own specific drivers, so instead of having a huge kernel supporting
all of them, let's switch to a subtarget per SoC like other OpenWrt targets.

This target has full device tree support, thus reducing the number of
patches needed for bcm63xx, in which there's a patch for every board.
The intention is to start with a minimal amount of downstream patches and
start upstreaming all of them.
Current status:
- Enabling EHCI/OHCI on BCM6358 causes a kernel panic.
- BCM63268 lacks Timer Clocks/Reset support.
- No PCI/PCIe drivers.
- No ethernet drivers.
