This adds the necessary firmware layout definitions for the Archer C25.
It has an addtional partition containing some static data ("extra-para")
without which no factory flash is possible, therefore put_data() has been
added.

TP-Link TL-WR942N v1 is a 2.4 GHz single-band N450 router, based on
Qualcomm/Atheros QCA9561.
Specification:
- 775/650/258 MHz (CPU/DDR/AHB)
- 128 MB of RAM (DDR2)
- 16 MB of FLASH (SPI NOR)
- 3T3R 2.4 GHz
- 5x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
- 2x USB 2.0
- 11x LED (most are controlled by 74HC595)
- 2x button
- UART header on PCB*
* Serial console is disabled in OEM non-beta firmwares and corresponding
GPIO pins 14 and 15 are assigned to control USB1 and USB2 LEDs by
production (non-beta) U-Boot and firmware.
Currently not working:
1. USB1 and USB2 LEDs if UART RX and TX pins are assigned to their GPIOs
by some U-Boot versions.
Flash instruction under vendor GUI:
1. Download "lede-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr942n-v1-squashfs-factory.bin".
2. Go to WEB interface and perform usual firmware upgrade.
FLash instruction under U-Boot recovery mode (doesn't work in beta
firmware):
1. Setup PC with static IP "192.168.0.66/24" and tftp server.
2. Change "*-factory" image filename to "WR942v1_recovery.bin" and make
it available to download from your tftp server.
3. Press "reset" button and power up the router, wait till "WPS" LED
turns on.
Flash instruction under U-Boot, using UART (can be done only with
preinstalled UART-enabled U-Boot version!):
1. Use "tpl" to stop autobooting and obtain U-Boot CLI access.
2. Setup ip addresses for U-Boot and your tftp server.
3. Issue below commands:
tftp 0x81000000 lede-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr942n-v1-sysupgrade.bin
erase 0x9f020000 +$filesize
cp.b 0x81000000 0x9f020000 $filesize

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.

TP-Link TL-WA850RE v2 is a wall-plug N300 Wi-Fi range extender,
based on Qualcomm/Atheros QCA9533 v2.
Short specification:
- 550/391/195 MHz (CPU/DDR/AHB)
- 1x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
- 32 MB of RAM (DDR1)
- 4 MB of FLASH
- 2T2R 2.4 GHz
- 2x internal antennas (embedded on PCB)
- 9x LED (all can be turned off with GPIO15), 2x button
- UART (J3) header on PCB
Flash instruction: use "factory" image directly in vendor GUI.
Warning: this device does not include any kind of recovery mechanism
in the bootloader and disassembling process is not trivial.
You can access vendor firmware over serial line using:
- login: root
- password: sohoadmin
Image was tested only in US version of the device, but should work
also with the same device version sold in other countries.
Available FLASH space, with LEDE trunk, is only 240 KB.

Recent refactoring introduced a regression. It ignored second argument
of make_support_list function which was originally true for C2600. The
new generic build_image function always passes false.
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
images.
I verified generated images to be binary identical to the ones that
were created before whole refactoring.

The new TP-LINK Pharos series uses a new bootloader, the "TP-LINK Safeloader".
It uses an advanced firmware image format, containing an image partition table
and a flash partition table (and image partitions are mapped to the
corresponding flash partitions). The exact image format is documented in the
source code.
Furthermore, the bootloader expects the kernel image as an ELF executable.
