Add support for the TP-Link Archer C50 v4, a low-cost mt7628-based
dual-band router.
Label MAC address is on ethernet and 2.4 GHz WiFi.
The v4 uses the same hardware as the v3 variant, but v4 includes
the newer split uboot.
ATTENTION:
Initial flashing of this device requires additional steps:
As all installation methods require an U-Boot to be integrated into the
image (and we do not ship one with the image) we are not able to create
an image in our build-process.
Download a TP-Link image from their Website and a FFF/OpenWRT sysupgrade
image for the device and build yourself a factory image like following:
TP-Link image: tpl.bin
OpenWRT sysupgrade image: owrt.bin
> dd if=tpl.bin of=boot.bin bs=131584 count=1
> cat owrt.bin >> boot.bin
This image can be used for Web-UI and recovery, but not TFTP.
Additional instruction can be found in the OpenWrt commit

The factory image can either be flashed via the vendor WebUI or
the bootloader using nmrpflash.

OpenWrt only builds and installs a packet for each architecture.
If a package is already fully built and installed for a architecture,
it is not rebuilt.
Because we have two different BSPs building two different targets (BOARDs)
using the same architecture (ath79 and ar71xx, mips), the fff-network package
is not reinstalled when switching between those.
However, we have defined an install step, which copies the necessary network
files seperated by board. But because the package is not rebuilt when switching
targets, the wrong network files might be present in the package.
To resolve this issue, the network files are now seperated by ARCH instead of
the target (i.e. the BOARD variable).
