The board was apparently added with 8 MB, so why is it too big now? What optimization is done?
Sorry, I'm still unable to understand what details, u would like to know? we had goal to drop WP_RO from 8MB to 4MB at some point of the program and now we are doing so.
i have updated the commit section to add the motivation towards this change.

I am sorry you are feeling this way.
I would like to understand if your intention is code review, then please help on that part. I'm feeling like, u are suggesting something which is not possible and I have explained why so, but still this conversation continues
@Paul, marking as done. please let me know otherwise.

Changing 7092K to 7M is cosmetic, isn’t it?
@Paul, you have to understand every bytes are meaningful here. I can't just drop 92K in one CL without adding those 92K to any other region.
@Paul, i'm marking this done. please let me know otherwise
