openwrt mediatek: add Comfast CF-E395AX support by adding an alternative model name

both these devices share the board and same config, just different model number

Install instructions are the same as the CF-E393AX commit - https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=d8f4453bf2de9fd9baf3d660ed12e0797ff2cfdb

What is the difference between the two devices?

What is the difference between the two devices?

Just the model number, reason for this common config - the chassis is literally the only difference - they cost reduced it, so the 393ax has a bigger case than the 395ax - the actual board is identical.

Do we really need an extra image and device tree? If it is just about the name you can add an alternative name:

Yes makes sense, only issue the users might not know that this image will work on the e395ax, but i have changed the commit to your recommended change.
