New Revision: 289106
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/289106

Log:
  Update the AP135 reference design flash layout to be more useful.
  
  * Shuffle the kernel to be at the beginning
  * Give the kernel 2mb, the rootfs 6mb, and 'mib0' the rest
  * put the cfg parition just before the ART calibration data for the
    wifi part in the SoC
  * .. and make sure ART points to the right 64k region.
  
  I've updated the freebsd-wifi-build wiki the instructions on using this.
  
  If someone has an AP135 with 8MB SPI flash then this won't work; everything
  minus the big mib0 partition is just a bit over 8MB.  Come see me if this
  ever happens (you'll likely just have to shrink the rootfs and the kernel
  a little in order to make it fit.)
  
  Tested:
  
  * AP135 reference board.
