[PATCH V3] tplink-safeloader: Patch to handle partitions with alternate names

    Some devices, specifically Deco M4R-v3 / M5 have partition names that
    deviate from the scheme other devices use. They have an added "@0"
    and "@1" for some patition names. The devices have
    fallback partitions which will be used in case the device
    determines that the primary partition set is unbootable.

    This patch introduces an option to set these alternate partition
    names in the device definition of tplink-safeloader.
