Targets that use nand_do_platform_check() can't use SUPPORTED_DEVICES
as the check requires ./sysupgrade-legacy_boardname/CONTROL to be
non-zero length as extracted from the tar file. Previously, only
./sysupgrade-new_boardname/CONTROL was present.

Why not just add a symlink to the tar archive instead of a copy?
I know it doesn't matter much due to compress, jet I'd consider it a
more clean solution.


Thanks for taking a look at this!

If/when I pick it up again, I'll definitely re-check if symlinks can
be used.

It's been a while since I authored this, but my recollection is that
since the tar is not extracted "in whole" (to preserve space,
I assume), there is no target of the symlink to reference.

From: package/base-files/files/lib/upgrade/nand.sh (master)

nand_do_platform_check() {
        local board_name="$1"
        local tar_file="$2"
        local control_length=`(tar xf $tar_file sysupgrade-$board_name/CONTROL -O | wc -c) 2> /dev/null`
        local file_type="$(identify $2)"

        [ "$control_length" = 0 -a "$file_type" != "ubi" -a "$file_type" != "ubifs" ] && {
                echo "Invalid sysupgrade file."
                return 1
        }

        return 0
}


As this was primarily to handle upgrades from older firmware versions,
the upgrade tar needs to be compatible with previous code, which
`git blame` shows as commit 3dca5a158d, SVN-Revision: 41222, 2014-06-16
