layerscape: Change to combined rootfs on sd images
At this moment layerscape images are ext4 only. It causes problem with save changes durring sysupgrade and make "firstboot" and failsafe mode useless. This patch changes sd-card images to squashfs + f2fs combined images. To make place, for saving config, kernel space ar now ext4 partition with fit kernel. This method of image generation is similar to rest of OpenWrt sd-card targets.
