Adrian Schmutzler 6867d86e08 build: add DEVICE_COMPAT_VERSION and DEVICE_COMPAT_MESSAGE
We regularly encounter the situation that devices are subject to
changes that will make them incompatible to previous versions.
Removing SUPPORTED_DEVICES will not really be helpful in most of these
cases, as this only helps after a rename.

To solve this situation, this patchset introduces a compatibility
version for devices. It will be implemented via a per-device
Make variable DEVICE_COMPAT_VERSION, which will be set to 1.0
globally by default and then can be overwritten as needed.

Furthermore, a variable DEVICE_COMPAT_MESSAGE is added, where
a message to be displayed during sysupgrade may be specified
optionally.

This patch only implements the build variables and adds them
to the sysupgrade metadata, the evaluation will be addressed
in a subsequent patch.

To set it, one would just need to add the following to a device node:

define Device/somedevice
  ...
  DEVICE_COMPAT_VERSION := 1.1
  DEVICE_COMPAT_MESSAGE := Config cannot be migrated from swconfig to DSA
endef

 -----------------------------------------------------

This is the buildsystem for the OpenWrt Linux distribution.

To build your own firmware you need a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case
sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack
of a case sensitive file system.

You need gcc, binutils, bzip2, flex, python3.5+, perl, make, find, grep, diff,
unzip, gawk, getopt, subversion, libz-dev and libc headers installed.

1. Run "./scripts/feeds update -a" to obtain all the latest package definitions
defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default

2. Run "./scripts/feeds install -a" to install symlinks for all obtained
packages into package/feeds/

3. Run "make menuconfig" to select your preferred configuration for the
toolchain, target system & firmware packages.

4. Run "make" to build your firmware. This will download all sources, build
the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the Linux kernel & all
chosen applications for your target system.
