We use combined option in "mktplinkfw" tool for generating initramfs
kernel images and header for kernel inside "safeloader" image type (in
fact, only for TL-WR1043ND v4 at this moment).
There is also "mktplinkfw-kernel" tool, a stripped-down version, used
only for generating "simple" header, for safeloader image types.
This changes how "mktplinkfw" handles combined images (which then will
allow us to drop the stripped-down version of the tool):
- drop "ignore size" command line option (it was used only for combined
images anyway)
- don't require "flash layout id" for combined images (we don't need and
shouldn't limit size of the initramfs kernel and for kernels inside
safeloader images, the "tplink-safeloader" tool does the size check)
- require kernel address and entry point in command line parameters for
combined images (consequence of previous point)
- don't include md5 sum and firmware length values in header (they are
needed only for update from vendor GUI and are ingored in case of
initramfs and "tplink-safeloader" images)
- drop "fake" flash layout for TL-WR1043ND v4 as it's no longer needed
Also, adjust "mktplinkfw-combined" command in ar71xx/image/tp-link.mk to
match introduced changes in "mktplinkfw" tool.

TP-Link TL-WR902AC v1 is a pocket-size, dual-band (AC750), successor of
TL-MR3020 (both devices use very similar enclosure, in same size). New
device is based on Qualcomm QCA9531 v2 + QCA9887. FCC ID: TE7WR902AC.
Specification:
- 650/391/216 MHz (CPU/DDR/AHB)
- 1x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
- 1x USB 2.0 (GPIO-controlled power)
- 64 MB of RAM (DDR2)
- 8 MB of FLASH
- 2T2R 2.4 GHz (QCA9531)
- 1T1R 5 GHz (QCA9887)
- 5x LED (GPIO-controlled), 2x button, 1x 3-pos switch

LEDE supports few devices using TP-Link firmware format (V2 or V3):
ArcherC20i, ArcherC50, ArcherMR200, TDW8970, TDW8980, TL-WR840N v4,
TL-WR841N v13 and VR200v
Testing mktplinkfw2 tool with official (vendor generated) firmware files
for above devices has shown an error when comparing calculated and
included MD5 sum, e.g.:
> mktplinkfw2 -i Archer_C20iv1_0.9.1_3.2_up_boot\(170221\)_2017-02-21_17.14.03.bin | grep -A 1 MD5Sum1

For some images, e.g.:
Archer_C50v3_EU_0.9.1_0.3_up_boot[170417-rel52298].bin
TL-WR840Nv4_EU_0.9.1_4.16_up_boot[170421-rel70692].bin
TL-WR841Nv13_0.9.1_3.16_up_boot(161012).bin
mktplinkfw2 calculates zero MD5 so these has to be fixed separately:
> mktplinkfw2 -i TL-WR841Nv13_0.9.1_3.16_up_boot\(161012\).bin | grep -A 1 MD5Sum1
Header MD5Sum1 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 (*ERROR*)
--> expected : 6f 1d 9b 57 5d 42 14 6d bf a2 03 9d 46 7d 55 55
It's most likely that MD5 salt used in mktplinkfw2 has been always wrong
(and it's not a matter of e.g. a vendor change). Update it to fix MD5
calculation.
This has been also verified to calculate MD5 correctly for other (not
yet supported) devices, e.g.:

TP-Link TL-WR840N v4 and TL-WR841N v13 are simple N300 routers with
5-port FE switch and non-detachable antennas. Both are very similar
and are based on MediaTek MT7628NN (aka MT7628N) WiSoC.
The difference between these two models is in number of available
LEDs, buttons and power input switch.
This work is partially based on GitHub PR#974.
Specification:
- MT7628N/N (580 MHz)
- 64 MB of RAM (DDR2)
- 8 MB of FLASH
- 2T2R 2.4 GHz
- 5x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
- 2x external, non-detachable antennas
- UART (J1) header on PCB (115200 8n1)
- TL-WR840N v4: 5x LED (GPIO-controlled), 1x button
- TL-WR841N v13: 8x LED (GPIO-controlled*), 2x button, power input
switch
* WAN LED in TL-WR841N v13 is a dual-color, dual-leads type which isn't
(fully) supported by gpio-leds driver. This type of LED requires both
GPIOs state change at the same time to select color or turn it off.
For now, we support/use only the green part of the LED.
Factory image notes:
These devices use version 3 of TP-Link header, fortunately without RSA
signature (at least in case of devices sold in Europe). The difference
lays in the requirement for a non-zero value in "Additional Hardware
Version" field. Ideally, it should match the value stored in vendor
firmware header on device ("0x4"/"0x13" for these devices) but it seems
that anything other than "0" is correct.
We are able to prepare factory firwmare file which is accepted and
(almost) correctly flashed from the vendor GUI. As it turned out, it
accepts files without U-Boot image with second header at the beginning
but due to some kind of bug in upgrade routine, flashed image gets
corrupted before it's written to flash.
Tests showed that the GUI upgrade routine copies value of "Additional
Hardware Version" from existing firmware into offset "0x2023c" in
provided file, _before_ storing it in flash. In case of vendor firmware
upgrade files (which all include U-Boot image and two headers), this
offset points to the matching field in kernel+rootfs firmware part
header. Unfortunately, in case of LEDE factory image file which contains
only one header, it points to the offset "0x2023c" in kernel image. This
leads to a corrupted kernel and ends up with a "soft-bricked" device.
The good news is that U-Boot in these devices contains well known tftp
recovery mode, which can be triggered with "reset" button. What's more,
in comparison to some of older MediaTek based TP-Link devices, this
recovery mode doesn't write whole file at offset "0x0" in flash, without
verifying provided file in advance. In case of recovery mode in these
devices, first "0x20000" bytes are always skipped and "0x7a0000" bytes
from rest of the file are stored in flash at offset "0x20000".
Flash instruction:
Until (if at all) TP-Link fixes described problem, the only way to flash
LEDE image in these devices is to use tftp recovery mode in U-Boot:
1. Configure PC with static IP 192.168.0.66/24 and tftp server.
2. Rename "lede-ramips-mt7628-tl-wr84...-squashfs-tftp-recovery.bin"
to "tp_recovery.bin" and place it in tftp server directory.
3. Connect PC with one of LAN ports, press the reset button, power up
the router and keep button pressed for around 6-7 seconds, until
device starts downloading the file.
4. Router will download file from server, write it to flash and reboot.
To access U-Boot CLI, keep pressed "4" key during boot.

As it turned out, some of new MediaTek based TP-Link devices use value
from field at 0x3c offset in version 3 of TP-Link header to specify
"Additional Hardware Version".
Value from this field is validated during regular (GUI) firmware upgrade
on devices like TL-WR840N v4 or TL-WR841N v13. If it's zero (based on
some tests, it seems that firmware will accept anything != 0), errors
like below are printed on console and upgrade fails:

Some TP-Link routers (C25, C59, C60) contain a version string instead
of a binary structure in the soft_version partition.
Flashing LEDE from the original firmware's GUI, this version string
taken from the soft_ver partition of the firmware image is written to
the router's config partition.
When using tftp recovery to go back to the original Archer C25 firmware,
a version check compares that version to the version of the firmware to
be flashed.
Without proper contents in the config partition, reverting to the
original firmware fails.
Therefore, write the string "soft_ver:1.0.0\n" to that soft_ver
partition.

In the kernel partition, the kernel is compressed in a regular tp-link
firmware that is just used for booting. Since it is only used for compressing
and booting, only four fields are filled in the header:
Vendor, version, kernel load address and kernel entry point.
mktplinkfw-kernel is a simpler version of mktpolinkfw that generate such
images. It also specifies the hardware id (as it is in the product info
section), so when doing a sysupgrade - the existing code will check for

Our current implementation is pretty old and uses some pre-standard/old
ANSI C style that triggers warnings like:
warning: call to function 'MD5_Init' without a real prototype [-Wunprototyped-calls]
This is caused by declarations specified in a following way:
src/md5.h:60:6: note: 'MD5_Init' was declared here
void MD5_Init ();
Having these warnings makes it harded to notice real problems. We could
try hiding them but it makes more sense to just use a cleaner code.
Another tiny gain from this switch is slightly reduced binary size, on

Recent refactoring introduced a regression. It ignored second argument
of make_support_list function which was originally true for C2600. The

This patch allows specifying trailing char in a device specific info. It
also switches Archer C9 to the \0 char to make it compliant with vendor

Looking into /usr/include/stdlib.h, there's a `devname()` function defined
under some #ifdef's which conflicts with the `static char *devname` definition
in `src/mkwrggimg.c`.
Defining `_ANSI_SOURCE` in the `src/mkwrggimg.c` file, omits that part of the
header.
Another more intrusive approach is to rename `devname` to something like
`g_devname` in `src/mkwrggimg.c`. But I think the `_ANSI_SOURCE` define should
be enough.
