The Sercomm devices don't need the jffs2 cleanmarkers for the kernel
partition. With the stock firmware they are only added when the
bootloader partition is upgraded.
Furthermore, on the Sercomm H500-s, the specific cfe_jffs2_upgrade_tar
function causes OOB corruption. As a result of this, combined with the
nature of the mtdsplit driver, the upgrade procedure ends in a bricked
device.
Use the generic nand_do_upgrade provided by the OpenWrt common functions.

Sercomm H500-s is an xDSL dual band wireless router based on Broadcom
BCM63167 SoC.
Hardware:
SoC: Broadcom BCM63167
CPU: BMIPS4350 V8.0, 400 MHz, 2 cores
Flash: NAND 128 MiB
RAM: DDR3 128 MiB
Ethernet: 4x 10/100/1000 Mbps
Switch: BCM53134S
Wireless: 802.11b/g/n: BCM435f (integrated)
802.11ac: Quantenna QT3740BC (onboard SoC)
USB: 1x 2.0
LEDs/Buttons: 11x / 2x
Flash instruction, web UI:
1. Reset to defaults using the reset button if the admin password is
unknown
2. Login into the web UI as admin.
Address: http://192.168.0.1
User: admin
Password: VF-ESVodafone-H-500-s or l033i-h500s
3. Go to Settings -> Firmware Update, and select the Openwrt factory
firmware
4. Update the firmware.
5. Wait until it finish, the device will reboot with Openwrt installed
on the alternative image partitions keeping the stock firmware in
the former.
Notes:
- The patch also adds support for the lowi version. Only the factory
firmware is different.
- The integrated Wifi in the Broadcom Soc isn't still supported.
- The Quantenna 802.11ac wifi works ok, but needs to be configured with
the Quantenna client application. It can't be configured with Luci
nor any iw command since it's a separated subsystem linked via
ethernet.
- The BCM53134S external switch is managed via MDIO which isn't
supported in this target. Therefore it will behave as a dumb switch.

This change makes the names of Broadcom targets consistent by using
the common notation based on SoC/CPU ID (which is used internally
anyway), bcmXXXX instead of brcmXXXX.
This is even used for target TITLE in make menuconfig already,
only the short target name used brcm so far.
