So the VERSION_DIST gets suffixed by "r15865" which make it 14 bytes long. With the default "OpenWrt" it will be excatly 13 bytes.

Not sure what's the best fix:

  * limiting the max length of the CONFIG-option
  * stripping something from the vesion-string provided to the edimax_fw_header command
  * chopping the extra bytes


This was actually seen in OpenWrt-21.02, but the Makefile seems identical to master.
