On brcm47xx (Huawei E970), I noticed that sysupgrade now tries to flash trx images which don't fit into the flash, resulting in non-booting system.
I found that mtd does trx size checking only when flashing to a partition called "linux". This patch changes this to be "firmware".
This matches the following patch which changed partition name in bcm47xxpart.c driver to "firmware":
