Apart from the usual kernel growth we have also enabled a bunch of previously disabled kernel features on targets which are not marked as SMALL_FLASH[1]. MT7620 is a mixed bag in that regard and it would make sense to split it similar to ath79 into a 'tiny' and a 'generic' variant. The 'mt7620-generic' variant could then also ship with NAND support and support for Xiami miRouter 3. The 'mt7620-tiny' variant would have SMALL_FLASH set and hence come without the features enabled in [1] which should give us ~ 200kB.
