To modify a WDR3600 with 16MB flash, you will need an external SPI programmer

the external programmer or from commands in OpenWrt:
Unfortunately OpenWrt never accepts device support requiring hardware
modifications.
I think part of the reason is that there are too many possible
variants when it comes to hardware modifications and all those
variants will make users confused.
Yeah, that's the rule.
In ar71xx such Device Tree mods weren't needed at all, flash size was
autodetected at bootup.
Maybe you can think about implementing such generic autodetection
mechanism for ath79 target instead, so there would be no need to support
modded routers explicitly, so standard images could be used on modded
routers too.
I think that quite many users could benefit from this.
Some maintainers talked about this problem in a past thread but I
can't find it now.
