build_falter: add bool that indicates small flash

[PolynomialDivision]

Check if the device is a small flash device.

Can you be a bit more descriptive in the need for a variable which is not used again? Is some magic happening somewhere? If so, can you describe that magic in the commit message?

[Akira25]

@pmelange AFAICT this is a variable that gets evaluated by imagebuilder itself. If I got @PolynomialDivision right, we could use a light-package-list if that switch is set. The logic for that is not implemented yet.

[pmelange]

Then, when the logic is ready, let's add it. :)

Does anyone want this feature? What would we change for small flash devices?

[Akira25]

I'd really like to have this feature. for 8MB-Devices I would drop some tools in the notunnel and tunneldigger images. Most regular users won't need packages like tmux, vnstat and so on.

I don't know for sure, how to implement this feature though.

@PolynomialDivision do you know how to handle this?

[Akira25]

@PolynomialDivision I've build some 8MB-Flash-Devices now using the imagebuilder none of them had that option CONFIG_SMALL_FLASH in their .config. Is that only for 4MB-Devices? Anyway we should find another way to detect 8MB-Devices then...
