Hi,
given that (binary release) support for 4MB devices will end with 19.07,
I'd vote for reverting the 4K sector change in ath79 and stick with 64K
ones as common denominator across the entire target. That will be the
least invasive and most robust fix.

IMHO this change is way to crucial to have it introduced this short before
the release is built. People who built images for their devices can introduce
4K sectors to their own images. This way, we do't risk breaking boards.

Are any of you using the affected TP-Link boards or ath79/tiny or
4 MiB devices in general? What features do you actually pack in them?
Do you plan to continue doing so past 19.XX release?
If no users speak up probably it's better to remove all the support
code altogether to avoid wasting maintainers' time on it?
I am supporting lot of smallest/cheapest TP-Links, running custom built current "tiny" image, or even 15.05, heavily
shrinked down for 4MB flash.
No special packages installed, besides wireguard or coova-chilli.
All these devices installed in Asia or South America.
Past 19.xx it seems be to OK to drop support.
