Pull request overview
This PR enables firmware upgrade support for the EasyMesh extender build by ensuring the required upgrade components are included in the extender packagegroup/image, and by adjusting the firmware-upgrade HAL behavior for the extender network interface naming.
Changes:
- Add firmware-upgrade related components (fwupgrade manager, HAL, dmcli) to the extender packagegroup.
- Ensure the firmware upgrade manager systemd service is not removed from the extender rootfs during image post-processing.
- For
em_extenderbuilds, adjusthal-fwupgradeto usebrlan0instead oferouter0when retrieving MAC information.

Please add these changes in fwupgrade_hal.c directly instead of sed command .
i can suggest to add Extender_enabled flag in .c file to handle this case .
