+Subject: ar71xx: Generate sysupgrade images for OpenMesh devices
+
+Some OpenWrt based firmwares like Gluon expect that a sysupgrade image
+exists when a device firmware can be updated via sysupgrade. This image
+wasn't created until now because OpenMesh devices use the same image for
+factory and sysupgrade flash. Copying the image from *factory.bin to
+*sysupgrade.bin is therefore enough to make the sysupgrade functionality
+visible.
