Add support for TP-Link TL-WR842N/ND v2
Device is similar to WR841N v8, but has a USB port and 8MB of flash. Tested web recovery and USB, both work fine. Boots OpenWrt without issues.

Hm, spotted a bug. It erases the MAC adress as TP-Link stores it at offset 0x1fc00 in U-Boot partition
Hi @robimarko,
Hm, spotted a bug.
Where?

It? What do you mean? Have a look:
Cheers, Piotr
Hm,then it must be due to flashing with mtd from OpenWrt

I was already porting WR842N v2 to ath79 so I simply left out read-only flag on u-boot and used mtd to write the compiled binary to it. Everything works, but it looks like this way of installation erases the partition and then writes

How did you install new U-Boot?

Next time you can use this script: https://github.com/pepe2k/u-boot_mod/blob/master/target_util/u-boot-upgrade
Cheers, Piotr
Will give it a try now. I backed all partitions up so simply writing stock U-boot back solved MAC issues.
Hope to see this merged. Cheers

Doubt it, I deleted that stuff long time ago. But you can always build it from GPL
Hm. Maybe someone should write a script that just downloads all the TP-Link firmware images with "boot" in their name and run binwalk to extract the U-Boot partitions automatically.
