Note: Buffalo has introduced hardware changes without bumping the
revision number. 19.07 did not support the rb-variant so there's no need
to implement a migration for the rb-variant.
Every g300nh supported by Gluon should either be the s-variant or
been flashed wrongly.

Note that it was wrongly marked as device class tiny in
commit 7fd7116e2a ("targets: add device-class flags") in the past,
the device has 64MB RAM and not 32MB.
Also, the device has no "led-running" assigned in DTS. The device has
three LEDs: "green:vpn", "green:lan" and "green:wlan". The first LED,
"green:vpn", has a "V" icon and was used to show the VPN connection
status in the vendor firmware. This LED will be used via the newly
added "led-boot" fallback in gluon-setup-mode. But will be unused
during normal operation due to the unassigned "led-running" in DTS.

TP-Link TL-WR902AC v1 is a pocket-size, dual-band (AC750), successor of
TL-MR3020 (both devices use very similar enclosure, in same size). New
device is based on Qualcomm QCA9531 v2 + QCA9887. FCC ID: TE7WR902AC.
Specification:
- 650/391/216 MHz (CPU/DDR/AHB)
- 1x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
- 1x USB 2.0 (GPIO-controlled power)
- 64 MB of RAM (DDR2)
- 8 MB of FLASH
- 2T2R 2.4 GHz (QCA9531)
- 1T1R 5 GHz (QCA9887)
- 5x LED (GPIO-controlled), 2x button, 1x 3-pos switch
- UART pads on PCB (TP1 -> TX, TP2 -> RX, TP3 -> GND, TP4 -> 3V3, jumper
resitors are missing on TX/RX lines)
- 1x micro USB (for power only)
Flash instructions:
Use "factory" image under vendor GUI.
Recovery instructions:
This device contains tftp recovery mode inside U-Boot. You can use it to
flash OpenWrt (use "factory" image) or vendor firmware.
1. Configure PC with static IP 192.168.0.66/24 and tftp server.
2. Rename "openwrt-ath79-generic-tplink_tl-wr902ac-v1-squashfs-factory.bin"
to "wr902acv1_un_tp_recovery.bin" and place it in tftp server dir.
3. Connect PC with LAN port, press the reset button, power up the router
and keep button pressed until WPS LED lights up.
4. Router will download file from server, write it to flash and reboot.
MAC Address summary:
- wlan1 (2.4GHz Wi-Fi): Label MAC
- wlan0 (5GHz Wi-Fi): Offset -1 from label
- eth0 (Wired): Offset +1 from label
Root access over serial line in vendor firmware: root/sohoadmin.
Based on support in ar71xx target by: Piotr Dymacz <pepe2k@gmail.com>
Use the candelatech firmware for the QCA Wave-2 firmware.
The Qualcomm firmware used for the IPQ401x chip in OpenWrt in 22.03
is experiencing heavily degraded performance due to excessive
retransmits when using A-MSDU. Disabling VHT modes or switching to the
candelatech firmware circumvents this issue.
Apply the same to other Wave-2 platforms in order to keep consistency
with upstream.
Wave-1 chips do not support mesh modes with the -ct firmware, so keep
using the QCA firmware in their case.
