While looking at the ath25 build breakage of 19.07 images today I've
encountered following error:

 mkfwimage -B XS5 -v [...] ath25-ubnt5-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin.new
 ERROR: Failed creating firmware layout description - error code: -2

Which is barely human readable and needs poking into the source code, so
this patch makes the error more verbose and usable by mere mortals.
