Asus use different code for production and public GPL tarballs

Recently I built a custom firmware for my RT-BE82U, because it lacks some DDNS suppliers (www.3322.org). After the firmware was built, I compared my rootfs (102_38152) to the Asus-released one.

I used fdtextract to save the `nand_squashfs` image to disk and found some interesting differences.

The official image_version file shows `5044p3GW0841920(BSPv1W13)`, and mine is `5044p3GW0730127(BSPv1W13)`, a bit older.
The official /usr/bin has extra files: `ceventc`, `ceventd`, `FcStats.sh`, `hw_accel_dump.sh`, `phy_scripts.sh`.
In my rootfs, `ceventc` and `ceventd` are under /usr/sbin. The official /usr/sbin has an extra `wifi_dsps.sh` file, which is short for WiFi Deep Sleep Power Save.

I wrote to Asus via their web mail form to ask for the newest GPL source for 39099, because emails to [email protected] are being rejected by the mail server. They said they will reply within a week.
