Currently it's not possible to tftpboot initramfs image on archer-c7-v5
as the image contains tplink-v1-header which leads to:
ath> bootm
## Booting image at 81000000 ...
Bad Magic Number
as U-Boot expects uImage wrapped image. This is caused by following
inheritance issue:
define Device/Init
KERNEL_INITRAMFS = $$(KERNEL)
define Device/tplink-v1
KERNEL := kernel-bin | append-dtb | lzma
KERNEL_INITRAMFS := kernel-bin | append-dtb | lzma | tplink-v1-header
define Device/tplink-safeloader
$(Device/tplink-v1)
define Device/tplink-safeloader-uimage
$(Device/tplink-safeloader)
KERNEL := kernel-bin | append-dtb | lzma | uImageArcher lzma
define Device/tplink_archer-c7-v5
$(Device/tplink-safeloader-uimage)
where tplink-v1 defines KERNEL_INITRAMFS with tplink-v1-header and it's
then used by all devices inheriting from tplink-safeloader. Fix this by
overriding KERNEL_INITRAMFS to KERNEL variable again.

(cherry picked from commit ceeece9ffa)
For quite some time, the tiny (4M flash) TP-Link sysupgrade and
factory images cannot be built anymore by the buildbots, just
the initramfs-kernel.bin files are still there.
Disable these images for the buildbots and don't waste build
resources.
Note that these devices still build fine with default settings,
just not with the additional packages and config symbols for
the buildbots.

Currently, tplink-safeloader definition is only used a base for
another common definition.
This patch adjusts tplink-safeloader so it can be actually used
for some targets in generic-tp-link.mk.
This patch is cosmetic except for the order of
"check-size $$$$(IMAGE_SIZE)" and "append-metadata" exchanged
for the tplink_re350k-v1 .

This commit adds support for the Archer C58 v1 and C59 v1, previously
supported in the ar71xx target.

Via Web-UI:
Update factory image via Web-UI.
Via TFTP:
Rename factory image to "tp_recovery.bin" and place it in the root-dir
of your tftp server. Configure to listen on 192.168.0.66. Power up the
router while holding down the reset-button. The router will flash itself
and reboot.
Note: For TFTP, you might need a switch between router and computer, as
link establishment might take to long.

Import all improvements made in the lzma-loader since development on the
ath79 target started.
This also reverts fe594bf90d ("ath79: fix loader-okli, lzma-loader"), as
is obsoleted by 2ad60168b6af ("ar71xx: lzma-loader: move padding workaround
to gzip step").
Likely, many of the changes should be ported to the ramips lzma-loader as
well, but I don't have a device to test this.
