Hi Adrian,

if I parse this correctly, then my answer is, that I simply didn't included
instructions for flashing of factory image as it wasn't possible at that time,
because `fwupdate.real` utility in airOS v6+ (I'm not 100% sure about this),
doesn't allow flashing of unsigned factory images, so you simply couldn't
flash other factory images then those from Ubiquity.

 XW.v6.1.7# fwupdate.real -m /tmp/openwrt-ath79-generic-ubnt_bullet-m2hp-squashfs-factory.bin  -d
 ...
 Current: XW.ar934x.v6.1.7.32555.180523.1754
 New ver: XW.ar934x.v6.0.4-OpenWrt-r8452+9-e95e9fc
 Versions: New(393220) 6.0.4, Required(393220) 6.0.4
 ...
 Bad Image Structure
 Signature check failed

But in the meantime it was possible to remove this RSA signature checking in
`fwupdate.real`, so in v2 of this patch, there are instructions for flashing
of factory images:

 B) Experimental factory image flashing over SSH from airOS v6.1.7

   1. You need to flash your UBNT M2HP with airOS v6.1.7 firmware
      no other airOS version is currently supported
   2. git clone https://github.com/true-systems/ubnt-bullet-m2hp-openwrt-flashing
   3. cd ubnt-bullet-m2hp-openwrt-flashing
   4. make flash-factory FW_OWRT=/path/to/your/openwrt-ath79-generic-ubnt_bullet-m-xw-squashfs-factory.bin

Please note, that so far it was tested only on two different Bullet M2HP (XW)
devices and it worked. If you've such device and are willing to risk testing
it, you're more then welcome. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!
