This ports support for the TL-WA901ND v4 and v5 from ar71xx to ath79.
They are similar to the TP9343-based TL-WR940N v3/v4 and TL-WR941ND v6.
Specifications:
SoC: TP9343
Flash/RAM: 4/32 MiB
CPU: 750 MHz
WiFi: 2.4 GHz b/g/n
Ethernet: 1 port (100M)
Flashing instructions:
Upload the factory image via the vendor firmware upgrade option.
Flash instruction (TFTP):
1. Set PC to fixed ip address 192.168.0.66
2. Download *-factory.bin image and rename it to * (see below)
3. Start a tftp server with the image file in its root directory
4. Turn off the router
5. Press and hold Reset button
6. Turn on router with the reset button pressed and wait ~15 seconds
7. Release the reset button and after a short time
the firmware should be transferred from the tftp server
8. Wait ~30 second to complete recovery.
* The image name for TFTP recovery is wa901ndv4_tp_recovery.bin for
both variants.
In ar71xx, a MAC address with offset 1 was used for ethernet port.
That's probably wrong, but this commit sticks to it until we know
the correct value.
Like in ar71xx, this builds the default factory.bin with EU country
code.
Thanks to Leonardo Weiss for testing on the v5.
